BMW Turbo

The BMW E25 Turbo concept sports car was built by BMW as a celebration for the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich. It was designed by Paul Bracq, with gullwing doors and was based on a modified 2002 chassis with a mid-mounted engine. The Turbo featured a 276-hp turbocharged version of the engine from the BMW 2002, foam-filled front and rear sections to absorb impact, side impact beams, a braking distance monitor utilizing radar, and a futuristic cockpit. The car developed 206 kW at 7100 rpm and could reach 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standstill in 6.6 seconds. The top speed was limited to 250 km/h (155 mph).
