Heritage as inspiration: BMW M1 Homage
This stunning concept has been built as a tribute to the 1978 M1 – the firm’s first and only true supercar.
To celebrate the Seventies model’s 30th anniversary, BMW unveiled the sleek Homage at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Italy – one of Europe’s most exclusive motoring events.
Dr Klaus Draeger, BMW Group Board Member, Development: "For BMW, heritage is always also a living heritage. Drawing inspiration from your own past and thereby reinventing yourself - that is exactly what the BMW M1 Homage demonstrates in impressive style."
A particular forte of BMW Group Design is to draw on its own powerful history and actively feed this into the design of the future. The BMW M1 Homage is a design study in the tradition of a BMW Turbo that represents a contemporary take on the BMW M1 and the mid-engine concept. This tribute exhibits an emotional design that showcases technology and integrates it into the overall aesthetics of the vehicle.
The Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este provided the perfect backdrop for the BMW M1 Homage. Here automotive beauties from the past met the concept cars and design studies of the future. It is in this dynamic field of tension between past and present that the BMW Group Design team affords insights into its own perspective on a historically inspired automotive future.
