BMW M1 Homage Concept



When BMW revealed the M1 Homage at the Concorso D’Eleganza Villa D’Este , most World Car Fans have supported the idea of having a production version of the concept. Little later, a image of a supposed M1 prototype appeared, but it has been proven a hoax. That does not lower the chances BMW will follow Audi steps and create its own R8 competitor, based on the mythical M1. Autoblog.nl has even a clue on the name: M10, considering the engine that may power this beauty.

Although our colleagues from the Netherlands have used the name Gran Tourismo for this supercar, they later got the tip that this name, in fact, will be used for the production version of the CS Concept, BMW’s four-door sedan, in order to compete with Mercedes-Benz Class-CLS and the upcoming Aston Martin Rapide and Porsche Panamera . This is the look Autoblog?nl and its designer, Martijn Lemmens, have reached based on the info they have managed to retrieve. What do you think about it? Give us your opinion below.
