Homage-Paying Racecars

The 3.0 CSL Hommage R Celebrates 40 Years of BMW in North America

The 3.0 CSL Hommage R is a lean, mean, racing machine created by BMW to pay tribute to its legendary 3.0 CSL vehicle. This particular car was designed to commemorate 40 years since BMW first landed up in North America.

Unlike its predecessor, the 3.0 CSL Hommage R features an interior design that effortlessly and effectively integrates the driver into the cabin. Drivers of this vehicle can receive key information such as gear position, speed and revs from the inside of their helmet visor rather than having to rely on conventional dials or even more modern LCD readouts.

With its race-ready body and engine specs and its driver-friendly interior design, the 3.0 CSL Hommage R makes for an effective way for BMW to pay homage to a truly legendary vehicle.
