BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R & BMW 2002 Hommage – Video

BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R is a special surprise alongside the launch of the M4 GTS concept, the 3.0 CSL Hommage R features a riff on the colors worn by Brian Redman’s Sebring-winning ’75 CSL. BMW dispensed with the prominent kidneys’ vertical chrome inserts in the interest of raciness, and the result is a little less prowlike and a little more motorsport maw.

Like past hommage cars, the 2002 is more about design than mechanicals. BMW doesn’t even mention what theoretically powers this car, and frankly we don’t care. There are clues, however, from the classic livery, which includes an M tri-color front splitter with “obrut” ghosted over it, similar to the reversed text on the original ’02 Turbo. We’ll guess it’s a powerful turbocharged engine under the hood, whatever the specifics are.
