The beauty of yesteryear – in new attire. With the 3.0 CSL Hommage, BMW harks back to the timeless, classic and iconic BMW Coupé of the ’70s. Fans and vintage car aficionados from across the globe are invited to the Concorso d’Eleganza to get up close and personal to a freshly created classic that’s too fair to be forgotten.
What began with the motto “Dominance through Victory” is again, around 40 years later, creating a furore. At the 2015 Concorso d’Eleganza, Europe’s most exclusive rendezvous for classic and vintage cars, BMW thrilled once more with its presentation of the 3.0 CSL Hommage, a car that pays court to the then peerless 3.0 CSL from the ’70s – and the car you’d most like to snatch from its parking spot. The colour alone causes a sensation. As well as an exterior design whose sharp edges grab the eye. A source of wonder on the shores of Lake Como. Though there must have been a certain wistfulness about the spectators’ gaze, as this racy sports-car concept will never, unfortunately, come out as a series model.
A look back to the past isn’t, however, so easy with this spectacle. In fact, the 3.0 CSL Hommage is fitted out with the newest of the new. The small rear-view mirror with reversing camera, for example, doesn’t just reduce air resistance. It also underlines what 40 years of development and technology can change. The rear and cockpit look like they’ve been designed 40 years even further into the future – thanks to its laser lights, the 3.0 CSL Hommage can actually beam a bit further into the future than other top sports cars. No wonder also that it got the most votes and so drove away with the “Concept Cars” category at the 2015 “Auto Bild Sports Cars” awards. It should be exciting to see if there’ll be further homage paid to this Hommage, and the buzz this will attract.
