Hmmm, turbo engine, but maybe 7K redline, looks bigger--time will tell.

Looks like they blended a supra and m coupe together. Would have to see with the camo off but right now looks ugly, however, there is potential.

They added a ton of fake bulkhead to the front end to "disguise" the car.

Also, before everyone gets TOO excited, the joint platform between Toyota and BMW means this can very well be the new Supra being tested rather than the BMW, since BMW is suppose to get the roadster body and Toyota the coupe.

The author of the article is speculating that this is a BMW based on the "BMW looking interior" and the fact that it wears a Germany plate and M4 wheels. That means squat on a test mule. In a joint venture like this, they slap on whatever they can find that will fit for now, since interior is probably still under development in the Soup. And a shared platform means the Z5 will need to be able to ride on BMW bolt patterns, offset, and hub size. To infer that this test mule rides on a Munich plate, wearing BMW wheels, therefore is a BMW chassis, not a Toyota chassis, is stretching a lot.

Article mentions confirmation of a Z5M as well, that is news to me. Thought sources had said the M division is staying away from the Z5 for now - and don't call Msport an M.
