Remember last year BMW at Concorso D'eleganza villa d'The Concept Touring Coupe introduced at the Este Classic Car Show Concept Car? According to foreign media reports, BMW's senior management has canceled the plan to produce the car, that is, it will not be mass-produced.
BMW Concept Touring Coupe The company has announced that it will end production of its concept car.
Before mass production was confirmed, BMW had set up a commercial plan for the car, which was expected to produce a quota of 50 units at a price of $250,000 each, but this was not enough to support the entire production plan.
BMW Concept Touring Coupe The design highlight of the concept car is its sleek rear end, which removes the original electric soft-top convertible of the Z4 and adds a B-pillar design with Hofmeister elements, as well as elements of the Touring station wagon, interpreting the classic body proportions of a hunting car, and the overall silhouette is also very similar to the Z3 E36 8 of the past. However, BMW officially emphasizes that the name and design of the Concept Touring Coupe are inspired by the 1940 Mille Miglia Endurance Champion 328 Touring Coupe, and it is also a tribute to the 02 series of the 1970s. In terms of exterior details, the front kidney grill water tank guards and wheels use bronze gold elements, and the wheels also use front and rear 20 inches and rear 21 inches to enhance the high-end sports style.
The interior is largely the same as the Z4, but the materials are made of Poltrona Frou, made by the Italian leather manufacturer, with dark grey on the top half of the centre console and door trims, and light brown on the bottom half for a luxurious feel. Although the trunk space has not been officially revealed, the overall space has been greatly improved compared to the Z4, and the original factory has also specially ordered two travel bags in the same style as the interior, and handed over to the historic Schedoni leather textile in Modena.
The power part of the Concept Touring Coupe is equipped with the same 3. as the Z4 M40iThe 0-litre inline-six turbocharged engine mated to an eight-speed automatic manual transmission produces 388 hp and 500 Nm of torque.
The launch of the Concept Touring coupe did not remind fans of the classic Z3 M coupe, but in the end, it was only in the form of a concept car that remained in the hearts of fans, and it was a pity that it was not produced in the end.
