BMW M-Zero Concept

Artist creates vision of an M-car

---

Frankenstein's new ride...

This is the BMW M-Zero concept and the good/bad news (delete according to what you think of the car) is that it won’t ever make production.

It is a 'graphical conceptual design' created by photo artist Maël Oberkampf and fuses elements from the 6 Series, DB9 and a bit of Audi R8 for good measure.

The result looks part concept car and part dodgy look-alike, but all-in-all not a bad effort.

Is there a bit of Maserati in the roof section though?

It really is just a concept and, as far as we know, nothing to do with BMW so engine options will only exist in your imagination.

There’s not much else to say apart from what do you think?

This article is pointless. Would you like me to send you some drawings my 9 year old did?

[QuiteQuietCerb]

even more pointless as the pics are not displayed

[DannyR]

indeed

Yes, the article is a litte pointless, but what's wrong with a bit of eye candy?

I don;t care who makes it, but by god I hope *somebody* does...

Mind you, by the time it reached production it wouldn't look like that anyway

Some actually piccies would be soooooper.

Not a bad idea. Leave it with me...

Um, what are the air intakes for in the rear arches?

[Rich VRS]

reminds me of a batmobile from the front.

Traditionally, Cooling the rear brakes, although in this just for design.

[Windymiller]

Looks like some fat Yank sat on a Z4 Coupe...

[Magners P.H]

I quite like it overall.

The back does seem a little ugly (and dare I say it, a little bland)

The Nazca was a better looking concept (infact one of the finest looking machines in all of time IMO)





Launch a road going version of this. It still looks good today.

Hoh, I'm excited already. Off to practice with paint.net

This designer is good at drawing concepty cars from the side, but as soon as you rotate it the lack of vision for the front or back is clear.

ok...its shame they wont be making this...as personally i think this looks great.

The styling is very aggressive, and its about time bmw produced something a bit meaner looking. something that looks like what its capable of! The M3's just look too ordinary.

BMW...make this car dammit!

Yeah the seats belts are nice.

I went with the 7.4ltr Quad-Turbo V8 in mine.... managed to get a free tank of fuel and 6 Months tax with it too.. didn't get a clear devilery date though!?

[arej]

It looks nice other than the Saab-like rear lights!

[Petrol_fumes]

Ok I'll be nice about it
