Default BMW M1 Concept





















their 5.0l V10 with a bit more power would be fine for it... but i'm hoping they make like a brand new McLaren F1-ish V12 for it, if they decide to build it that is, 6.0l 600+ hp?

if they don't build it then there is something wrong with them

pics were taken at Villa d'este

Agreed..this doesn't look BMW'ish at all..and those wheels..I can hardly belive that this is a real concept from BMW.

Just like the Mille Miglia Concept -which is even worse- this shouldn't even be considered at all.

And the shape of the car reminds me of the miura..the back mostly

^LOL, sorry I love BMW, but that thing looks funny. It was a nice touch retaining the twin BMW icons on the rear though.

There's a hint of Vector in the design I think.

Its art to me. Front lights kind of look like a charger, or even a new camero

Art? I call it copycat styling. Ever since Ford has retrolized the Mustang, it started a trend to dig up something old and try to make it look new. I can see when done right, it can be a new legend (Ford GT is a good example). This is definitely not in the case.

Trust me. Ford is not the first to dig up the past and re-release a car.. Try the Monaro!

Obviously this isn't a style that would sell on the street - but as a concept determining future styling, it's unique and I love it!
