They won't call it the Z9, they already built one and it was relatively unsuccessful. If this is the rumored Z6 Merc SL fighter, its going to have a lot of competition from Aston Martin, Porsche, Audi, and of course Mercedes. I doubt this will be the supercar that BMW is supposedly building, that will be more expensive and have a higher tuned V10.

Will this be an R8-fighter, or an SL-killer, or a bit of both?
