At the end of last year, in honor of the 50th anniversary, BMW presented the most powerful model from the BMW M division, the BMW 3.0 CSL. It is based on the M4 CSL version, and the Bavarian-based company has stated that it will produce only 50 examples. Now, the first copy has reached its owner.
Under the hood is a 3.0 L inline-six engine with 560 hp (412 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.
BMW 3.0 CSL is equipped with yellow LED laser lights, body made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP), rear wing and the lettering on the roof, forged lightweight crankshaft, 3D printed cylinder head core, specially designed oil supply and cooling system , adaptive dampers, variable-ratio electric power steering and carbon-ceramic brakes. It is mounted on 20″ and 21″ center-locking wheels wrapped in specially developed Michelin tires.
This car is a reminder of the legendary model 3.0 CSL (E9), whose racing edition (Batmobile) dominated the racetracks around the world in the 70s. It has an extended body in the distinctive colors of the M division and with several details reminiscent of the original racing 3.0 CSL (Competition Sport Lightweight).
When it comes to price, some information says that the new BMW 3.0 CSL will cost €750,000.
