BMW Turbo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The E25 Turbo concept car was built by BMW as a celebration for the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.[1][2] It was designed by Paul Bracq, with gullwing doors and was based on a modified 2002 chassis with a mid-mounted engine.[2] The Turbo featured a 200 hp turbocharged version of the engine from the BMW 2002, foam filled front and rear sections to absorb impact, side impact beams, a braking distance monitor utilizing radar,[3] and a futuristic cockpit. Only two were ever built. BMW later used the Turbo's design themes on the M1, the 8-Series, the Z1 and the 2008 M1 Homage Concept.[citation needed]
