BMW M1 Homage Concept Car
BMW M1 Homage Concept Car is one amazing car. In a nod to the 30th anniversary of the fabled BMW M1 supercar, BMW Group Design just launched a new concept car that acts as a homage to it—and that’s also what they named it. At the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2008 this week, the company debuted the BMW M1 Homage, which they call a “design study in the tradition of a BMW Turbo that represents a contemporary take on the BMW M1 and the mid-engine concept.”
The concept’s Liquid Orange paint is meant as a tribute to the original car’s color, The air vents in the hood, the twin rear badges, the rear window louvers, and the black cut line that separates the roof line from the rear of the car are also details that made it into the new version. The dimensions are mostly the same as the original except for an extended wheelbase for more interior room. The headlights almost disappear into the car when closed, as a kind of new iteration of the long-since-gone retractable lamps of old.
There’s no word on anything underneath the skin, but let’s hope they decide to build it. Read More......
BMW 5 TOURING MADE BY G-POWER
The company ahs decided to modify next member of the BMW’s big family. Thanks to their love for tuning they’ve changed a family estate to this amazing car. In case of cooperating professionals we can enjoy its masterpiece called BMW G5!
Everything started with its front part and new front bumper. It has three dominant openings, one elongated in the middle and two triangular on the sides used for cooling engine parts. They include also a pair of halogen lamps hidden behind black perforated sheet covering all openings in the front. Lines of the bumper were designed with the sense, but they’re also quite aggressive. The best thing in this part is a front diffuser with rear spoilers made of carbon fibers.
Now we can move to the G5’s side part with installed new sill extensions by G-Power. They look really simple, but they’re distinctive enough to excite sporting image.
Also the rear bumper has simple shapes, except its carbon diffuser with interesting design with oval lines to match with the rest. The diffuser also includes four stainless exhaust tips (80mm diameter) providing really extreme sound.
The G5’s has obtained also new settings for its suspension. This means a new sporting update decreasing car closer to the road for 25mm. Its owner can additionally change the ride\s height with electronically adjustment. G-Power Silverstone Diamond rims with graphite modification are luxury piece of art in the company’s portfolio. They’re 9.0x20 with 245/30 ZR 20 tires in front and10.0x20 with 285/25 ZR 20 tires at the back. Perfect.
The last stop is the engine. It’s a diesel aggregate as we said before. Few years ago diesel engine weren’t so popular but now they’re inseparable and essential part of tuning programs. G-Power has introduced something new in Essen – it’s called G-POWER D-Tronic III.
It’s tuning of BMW diesel engines providing performance boost and decreasing amount of emission (-15%). Now we can clearly see that G-Power is one of few companies thinking also about our future.
