Bmw 3.0 CSL Hommage R Concept Seen at


This is the Bmw 3.0 CSL Hommage R Concept car first unveiled by BMW in 2015 at Pebble Beach.



In 1975, BMW Motorsport began racing in the United States. They used a car called 3.0 CSL, and won at Laguna Seca and the 12 Hours of Sebring. That white, liveried CSL ended up winning the manufacturers’ championship in its first year.

To mark 40 years since that achievement, BMW has built this Hommage racing concept to celebrate. 


It’s been built of lightweight materials, including lot of carbon fibre.

Up front, BMW tells us this has the broadest and lowest face of any model in the family. There are laser lights and LED tech, a huge carbon fibre front splitter, and the mother of all kidney grilles.


Inside, it’s spartan, race-ready and built almost completely of carbon fibre. The driver’s display is actually integrated through the visor of the driver’s helmet as a HUD.

 Everything else is on the steering wheel, and while there is no mention made of a powertrain, with a name like ‘3.0 CSL’, we suspect the M3/M4 3.0-litre turbo six cylinder is lurking under the bonnet and an ‘eboost’ system, using energy accumulators situated behind and underneath the seats.

“The BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R combines all the classic BMW hallmarks within a modern and emotionally rich design language,” says BMW, “adding even greater lustre to the already glittering engineering achievement of 40 years ago.”

Milano Malpensa Airport. Designed by Ettore Sottsass. MXP

This airport is always crowded, noisy and dirty. The floors and ceilings seem to be made up of materials from the 1950s’ even though the Terminal 1 started operations in the 1990s’. Food served in the restaurant is terrible, of very expensive, or both. This is the only airport I have heard of where from time to time expensive items disappear from the checked bags of arriving passengers. On the positive side its architecture is a masterp iece of the “Postmodern” period. Its main designer was Ettore Sottsass. If you get out of the crowd, rest your eyes, and look at the lines of the building you smile at their beauty. Notice the two different rhythms of the columns on the upper and lower floors in the photo here.   Please see my collection of videos on my YouTube channel:  http://www.youtube.com/user/settime2588/videos This photograph was taken from a plane window and it is on the air side of terminal 1. The design is typical of the “Memphis Group”  producti

 The Khachapuri from Georgia. Tried it in Warsaw Video on the channel:  https://youtu.be/j_MhOuUDsL4 Khachapuri is a traditional Georgian dish of cheese-filled bread. The bread is leavened and allowed to rise, molded into various shapes, and then filled in the center with a mixture of cheese (fresh or aged, most commonly, specialized Khachapuri cheese), eggs, and other ingredients. The bread crust is traditionally torn off and dipped into the cheese. It is very popular in Georgia, both in restaurants and as street food. As a Georgian staple food, the price of making khachapuri is used as a measure of inflation in different Georgian cities by the "khachapuri index," developed by the International School of Economics at Tbilisi State University. It is Georgia's national dish, inscribed on the list of the intangible cultural heritage of Georgia. On the behalf and initiative of the Gastronomic Association of Georgia, the 27th of February was announced as National Khachapuri D
