Smit Oletha review | The BMW Z4 restomod that thinks it's a Z8
Restomods don't get much more glamorous than the Smit Vehicle Engineering Oletha. Developed by two engineer brothers, Kaess and Willem Smit, the Oletha is a BMW Z4 underneath, with an impossibly beautiful carbon fibre body that looks like the Z8 coupe BMW never made.
Under the bonnet is something just as special - a 4.4-litre BMW V8, very similar to the old M3 GTS's, making 448bhp at some 8200rpm.
This car is a prototype but Smit would like to build a few dozen Olethas, priced around £365,000 ($450,000).
Join Matt Prior as he tests the Oletha prototype. Take in the sights but, as importantly, the sounds, too.
