2016 BMW 2002 Hommage Concept Close Up Look – Video

 

The concept is actually based on the BMW 2002 Turbo, the very first production car to come from Europe with turbocharging technology. So BMW has decided to honor the 2002 Turbo with this Hommage, a concept that BMW feels does the 2002 Turbo justice.

“Exactly 50 years ago, the 02 range kick-started an era of success for BMW. This compact coupe is one of the vehicles which made the brand what it is today,” explains Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design. “The 2002 sat at the top of the range and was the first series-produced car anywhere in Europe to come with turbo technology. That set the seal on the coupe as a genuine sports car. At the same time, the 2002 turbo was at the technological vanguard of engine development at BMW. The BMW 2002 Hommage is our way of raising a glass to all these achievements.”
