The closed two-seater, which was developed for one-off production, continues the tradition of BMW classics: a timeless symbol of freedom on four wheels and the joy of travelling together.
BMW Design has reimagined the traditional body shape of an elegant sports car, giving the vehicle a shooting brake concept and powered by a six-cylinder in-line engine.
In the interior, crafted leather surfaces from Italian manufacturer Poltrona Frau create a luxurious ambience.
The compartment behind the seats provides ample room to stow luggage for spontaneous trips; the luggage itself was also exclusively custom-made at the Schedoni leather workshop in Modena.
The hand-crafted car's proportions and name are reminiscent of the BMW 328 Touring Coupé that won the Mille Miglia endurance race in 1940.
The functionality of the shooting-brake concept is a nod to the BMW 02 Series model variants of the early 1970s, which featured “Touring” in their name to distinguish them from sedans.
The styling of the signets on the rear and inside this unique vehicle was inspired by the model inscription of this predecessor.
The Sparkling Lario exterior paintwork was specially created for the BMW Concept Touring Coupé.
With embedded flakes of blue glass, its grey-brown hues achieve a unique impression of depth. The effect is completed by silver-bronze accents and the specially designed BMW kidney grille with longitudinal bars.
The exclusive light-alloy wheels, measuring 20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear axle, provide a logical continuation of these colour accents in the 20-spoke radial design.
“A highly emotional vehicle like this shows that the passion for everything that goes into driving pleasure has been essential through the ages and will be for the future,” said BMW Design head Domagoj Dukec.
