Which took place last weekend, Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, Lake Como in Italy, the German company BMW attracted the attention of visitors with an impressive concept.
The car was inspired by the legendary Model 328, for which we have noted that the age of 75 years, but it has lots of retro elements, it is equipped with all sorts of modern technology. So-called Hommage concept BMW 328 is equipped with 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, which does not mention details, but thanks to its low weight of only 780 kg. The car probably has a phenomenal dynamics.
In the design concept in a very good way retro lines are combined with classical forms, but unfortunately it will remain only a demonstration vehicle and will hardly ever be placed on the conveyor.
