It’s
time for BMW to respond to the R8, SLS and 911 supercars topping the respective
ranges Audi, Merc and Porsche. The August 2012 issue of CAR
Magazine reveals how BMW is planning to revive the M1 supercar some time
around 2016.
The
new BMW M1 will be considerably lighter, more powerful and more efficient
than its current rivals, thanks to a combination of new tech and
old-school low mass. Read on for the details of the first true BMW supercar in
a quarter of a century.
The
original M1 of 1978-81 was sadly quite a debacle (Lamborghini failed to supply
the cars it was contracted to build, then the rules for the racing series it
was designed for changed, leaving the M1 in no-mans-land.) BMW eventually
built 460 of the wedgy, 277bhp two-seaters, powered by a 3.5-litre in-line six
which of course went on to see duty in the E28 M5, albeit slightly modified for
its supersaloon application.
As
BMW’s first (and only) mass-produced mid-engined car, and arguably the first
truly user-friendly supercar, the M1 has acquired cult status as the grandfather
of the M-badged motors. Quite a legacy then, for the 2016 M1 to live up to.
BMW M1 is a rare sports car made by BMW in just 456 units. This is the
only supercar ever produced by the Bavarian car manufacturer that is now
considered to be part of history.
This car features a 3.5-liter 6-cylinder engine mounted in the center of the vehicle. The machine is equipped with mechanical fuel injection system Kugelfischer which makes it able to produce 277 hp and very strong in his day.
Developed together in a joint venture between Lamborghini and BMW, M1 was made between 1978 to 1981, which means, M1 youngest was 32 years old.
Of 456 units built, only 399 were certified by the use of the highway, while the other 57 units have undergone special tuning for racing purposes.
Auction house RM Auctions has made 1980 units M1 Henna Red color makes it even more exclusive because only 72 units that are colored like that. Unfortunately, this paint is no longer original. He has been repainted by the previous owner.
Unfortunately again, the vehicle was imported from Europe to America not through the federal standard procedure, so it would be difficult to list them in California, where the vehicle is currently located.
The car was auctioned with bidding starting price of U.S. $ 150,000 (Rp1.45 billion). Prices are fairly 'cheap' to buy part of BMW heritage pieces.
BMW Motorsport is preparing a supercar that will be named M1 Hommage. The reason this car will be a new challenger class sports car from Audi and Mercedes Benz.
The BMW M1 Hommage is developing that uses only two-seat sports car like. M1 Hommage was estimated using 4.0-liter twin turbo engine capable of spraying VW 600 hp.
In addition, the M1 Hommage will also use the technology embedded in i8 concept car, among others, the body of carbon fiber materials. The use of carbon fiber has the potential to reduce car weight to about 1250 pounds.
To improve performance, the design of the M1 Hommage also pay attention to aerodynamics. Namely the use of components such as fins that can change shape at high speed. The same thing has also been applied in the Ferrari 458 Italia.
With the M1 Hommage a variety of technologies will be able to run 100 km / h in three seconds danger. While the maximum speed reached 321 km / hour.
The plan, this car concept began to be exhibited in 2014. While the new car will be released to the market around 2016.
BMW M1 Hommage himself had produced in 1978. When the M1 use 3.500cc engine capable of spitting out 273 hp. BMW also only produce 456 units. Production was terminated in 1981.
