Rare Revival Roadsters

The BMW M8 Concept Car Brings Back a Classic Model

The newly released photos of the BMW M8 concept car have autophiles buzzing in anticipation for the long-awaited successor to the original M1. With a streamlined profile that has become synonymous with its Italian competitors, the German automakers have taken a great deal of inspiration from the original M1 partnership.

The aerodynamic and slick body has a low profile that will have admirers looking on in envy. Grated rims and the minimalist grill are a few of the eye-catching details many will notice on this speedy number.

Similar to the stylings of the Lamborghini Gallardo, the BMW M8 could be an edgy addition to the luxury automaker’s line-up. M Division President Friedrich Nitschke is adament with bringing the car from concept to consumer markets. While there is still much to be worked on with the M8, auto enthusiasts are nodding their heads with approval.
