The Z8 features bodywork designed by Henrik Fisker with inspiration from the BMW 507 roadster, and the aluminum body panels are mounted over an aluminum spaceframe.

The 18” split-spoke wheels are mounted with 245/45 front and 275/40 rear Bridgestone Potenza RE040 tires. The four-wheel disc brake system is equipped with Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), and additional features include Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and All-Season Traction (ASC).
The cabin features Sport Red and black Nappa leather upholstery that extends from the heated and power-adjustable seats to the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include a six-disc CD changer, navigation, a Harman Kardon sound system, leather-wrapped roll hoops, a wind deflector, a cup holder, air conditioning, and cruise control.
The banjo-spoke steering wheel features silver trim within a black-leather-wrapped rim. Centrally mounted instrumentation includes a 155-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer with an integrated analog clock, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level.
The 4.9-liter S62 V8 was shared with the contemporary E39 M5 and features double-VANOS variable valve timing for a factory-rated output of 400 horsepower and 368 lb-ft torque.
