2008 BMW M1 HOMMAGESponsored by Bmw since 1999, the Concorso D’Eleganza Villa D’Este unveiled the renascence of the new Bmw M1. The new Bmw M1 Hommage represents a moder interpretation of the 1978 Bmw M1, which at the moment of its launch was Germany’s fastest street car.
As the old model, the concept presents new design lines that are ahead of their time. The Bmw stylists incorporated in the concept some of the old vehicle’s design such as the lowered rear window, the lateral badge placement and also a little bit of the front end.
There are small chances that the Bmw M1 Hommage could see a limited production in a very small scale, but for the moment this still remains a rumor. For the folks who don’t know the 1978 Bmw M1 was powered by a 3.5 liter engine developing 270 hp and was capable of sprinting from 0-100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds. Although Bmw did not reveal any technical specifications there are sources who admit the existence of a powerful V10 5.0 liter engine capable of delivering 600+ hp.
