The Z9 is available in four exterior colors – starry black, starlight gray, night purple and moonlit beige – and two interior colours: beige and brown. Its substantial 5.2 meter body and 3,125 mm wheelbase give it an elongated, streamlined profile, while chrome, multi-spoke wheels add a touch of refinement. The front and rear styling includes elements such as a continuous hood line, sloping A-pillars and a large rear diffuser.
