BMW Turbo

The E25 Turbo concept sports 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 276 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.

The car developed 206 kW (280 PS; 276 hp) at 7100 rpm[citation needed] and could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standstill in 6.6 seconds.

[5] BMW later used the Turbo's design themes on the M1, the 8 Series, the Z1 and the 2008 M1 Homage Concept.
