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.

Everything else is on the steering wheel, and while there is no mention made of a ...
