What do the Riva and Sanlorenzo yachts have in common with this unofficial BMW concept? Well, David Obendorfer has been working for the Officina Italiana Design of Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta for 12 years as part of the design team. In his spare time, he also enjoys reviving cars from yesteryear by imagining how their modern-day equivalents would look. His latest project creates a bridge through time by rekindling with a concept from 1972, adapted for 2020.
The spirit of BMW’s very first EV, the 1602 Elektro-Antrieb, is alive and well in David’s 02 Reminiscence concept. He envisioned the modern-day equivalent with just about the same footprint as a 2 Series Coupe, and while two-door sedans are now a thing of the past, the shape proposed by the artist is hugely desirable.
