I think I like it, I'm not sure yet. I'd certainly drive onw but not sure if I could park that in my garage and take myself seriously.

It looks like its taken alot of styling cues from american v8 cars. BMW GT40 anyone?

8O Lets hope it does not stay as a concept,that colour is :cool: and the way they have modernised the wheels but kept the same pattern.Would love to see this on the roads beside an r8,I know what my choice would be.

I wasn't too sure at first, but I've just realised that I think it's totally fantastic! :D :cool: :drool:

At this angle it reminds me of not only the original M1 but also the mid - late 1980s DeTomaso Pantera, a car I've always been very fond of!

I doubt they will ever make anything that looks like that but it's a great styling excercise!

It's a shame they also never made the BMW Turbo, from around 1972, it looked great and had gullwing doors! :D 8)

Certainly resembles the old M1, I like it.

Nice car, but the DeTomaso is a show stealer. Ball achingly gorgeous. That 1970's effort looks like something out of Speed Racer! Cooool
