The BMW 2002 Turbo was first launched in 1973. It was the first car made in Europe which had a turbocharger and the it launched the model into the history of motorsport. In its honor, BMW has launched a new concept car – BMW 2002 Hommage Turbomeister.
As Karim Habib, BMW Head of Design, said:
The BMW 2002 Hommage celebrates the extraordinary feats of engineering on which BMW turbo technology is based and re-interprets them in the form of a design study. With its iconic orange/black paintwork, the car has a colour scheme and livery synonymous in the minds of many motor sport fans with the triumphs of the 1970s.
The concept represents a redesigned version of the 2002Hommage Concept released in May. It was presented at Pebble Beach Concourse d’Elegance.
