"Our Hommage automobiles not only exhibit how proud we are of our tradition, but also how significant the past could maintain determining our future," says Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design. "The BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage signifies a nod to the engineering accomplishment exemplified by the BMW 3.0 CSL in its lightweight design and operation.

Lightweight design current and previous

Unsurprisingly it had been predestined to get a career on the race track. While the substance of preference in the 1970s was aluminium, now carbon fibre - or carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) - provides the optimum weight-to-strength ratio. These high-strength fibres are more powerful and lighter than aluminium. Wherever CFRP is used, additionally it is not invisible - leaving the lightweight design principle palpable both in and outside. The BMW Group can already boast several years of expertise in show creation of CFRP structural components for the BMW M and, particularly, the BMW i and is a world leader in the creation and use of CFRP in automotive design.

The outside: sophistication and power

Its mix of sophistication and racing genes creates an engaging aesthetic that continues to gain hearts even now.
The BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage observes many of those characteristic attributes, but without duplicating them. Really, a number of the parallels aren't instantly apparent. We needed folks to feel your family likeness rather than see it straight off."

Despite its size, the aerodynamic components are essential in enabling atmosphere to flow along the sides of the car. While wings on the back wheels ensure optimum airflow throughout the car the leading air deflector serves to vent the engine compartment. Modest rear-view cameras function to help reduce aerodynamic drag. In so doing enhances power transmission on the powered rear axle and the big rear spoiler increases downforce. Air Breather systems and the Air Curtain ensure optimum venting of the wheel casings. As well as the utter self confidence and athletic art of the BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage are totally summed up in the first colour of its spiritual predecessor - Golf Yellowish.

The front end - muscle athleticism

In the center, the BMW kidney grille that is characteristic stands tall in quotation of the vertical styling of the kidney grille of yesteryear. The spatial and size depth of the kidney grille symbolise the output of the strong six-cylinder inline engine with eBoost. In once, the elegantly wrought geometry of kidney and framework struts brings an atmosphere of exclusivity and quality to the front end. The characteristic four-eyed face provides modern, hexagonal interpretation of frontend sportiness. LED technology and laser light ease lissome, state of the art lighting images, as well as the level contours of the headlamps create that BMW that is characteristically concentrated appearance. A stylised "X" inside the lights breaks up the illumination functions and conjures up memories of the X-shaped headlamp decals once found in long distance racing. Flat LED strips produce a visual bond between kidney and headlamps grille while in the exact same time emphasising the broad, level effect of the front end. A big carbon fibre front splitter reduces the gap between road and front end and, in conjunction together with the kidney grille, provides a contemporary interpretation of the exceptionally identifying shark nose of the earlier automobile. A number of elongated slots as well as two ring-shaped openings pay tribute to other components featured in the auto that is sooner, but offer a fresh interpretation for the 21st century.
