To The Batmobile
With the next generation BMW 1er Coupe resorting to a more "hommage" design interpretation of the 2002. BMW are considering a one off "Hommage" model that could either be based of the 1er/3er or 6er as a modern day equivalent to the Batmobile CSL's of the 1970's.
Although famously named "The Batmobile" after it's unique aerodynamic appearance.
There has been a healthy response to a sketch produced showing a modern equivalent of the Batmobile with more restrained and faired in aerodynamic enhancements. Using a new interpretation of the typical BMW "Shark Nose"
Although no engineering platform has been considered unique features developed for BMW include either Carbon Fibre or stainless steel tub , carbon fibre body panels including bonnet and door skins and aluminium space frames.
Should such a car arise then it will be positioned as the original car as either a CS , CSi or CSL , engine choices could either be four or six cylinder unique to the car with a higher PS output from the standard engine. in keeping with BMW's environmental technology fest , the car could also retain BMWs upcoming KERS Road car technology.
Although it remains to be seen whether BMW will consider a strategy for such a model yet.
But if the "2002" design interpretation is successfully applied to the 1er Coupe and Cabrio then BMW could be eager to offer another "Hommage" car.
