Bmw m1 2011
The
M1 coupe was hand-built between 1978 and 1981 under the Motorsport
division of BMW as a homologation special for sports car racing. The
body was designed by Giugiaro, taking inspiration from the 1972 BMW
Turbo show car. Originally, BMW commissioned Lamborghini to work out the
details of the car's chassis, assemble prototypes and manufacture the
vehicles, but Lamborghini's financial position meant that BMW reassumed
control over the project in April 1978, after seven prototypes were
built. Only 456 production M1s were built, making it one of BMW's rarest
models. The spirit of the M1 lived on in the M635Csi and the
first-generation M5, which shared the same (though slightly modified)
engine. The M1 had various successes in motorsports. In 2004, Sports Car
International named the car number ten on the list of Top Sports Cars
of the 1970s.
