One of a kind BMW 858 CSL

At the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show BMW revealed the first generation of the BMW 8 Series, the BMW E31, which is considered one of the most beautiful coupes in the history of the Bavarian company. It often inspires numerous tuners, such as Rein Speed ​​Shop, to create a restomod or a unique project like this BMW 858 CSL.

The project is based on the BMW 850i model, which now looks much sportier. The car received a new carbon body kit designed by independent artist Jonsibal. The front pop-up lights, which were a trademark of the E31, have been replaced by hood vents to allow more air to reach the V10 engine, wide fenders, redesigned fenders, transparent taillights, new tailpipes, and the car is adorned with new rims. The result of the project is a spectacular restomod, reminiscent of some BMW projects such as the Nazca C2 concept and the E46 M3 CSL.

The interior is equipped with new bucket seats, while the instrument panel, air conditioning controls, shift lever and start-stop button are taken from the newer BMW M models, and the steering wheel is taken from the E60 M5 model. There is also a new infotainment screen and BMW iDrive controller on the central tunnel.

When it comes to the powertrain, the original 5.0-liter S85 engine with 507 hp (373 kW) and 383 lb-ft (520 Nm) of torque has been replaced by a 5.8-L V10 engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.
