The July issue of CAR magazine will reveal later today that BMW has given the green light the M1 Homage Concept to enter production.
While the radical design stays close to home on replicating the essence of the classic M1, it just makes me wonder if it strays too far from BMW tried and trued philosophy of design.
Is it simply too radical, or is that just part of the problem?
Rest assured unlike the previous the M1 built in Lamborghini factories in the 80's, this latest rendition will be solely an in house project most likely powered by a V10 derivative. The target audience for this new super car is the exact same as Audi's successful R8, so lets get set for a showdown of these two German giants once it hits the showroom floor in late 2009 or early 2010.
With all of this flexing of German muscle I am beginning to wonder just how the Lexus LF-A will stack up against this dynamic duo. While it is safe to say the luxury and automation will lean in the favor of LF-A, it just seems a mere 500 hp won't be enough to keep up when it comes time to stretch the legs.
So is the M1 Homage going to be a A Stud or a Dud?
