While the original 2002 vehicle was equipped with a pretty elegant bolt-on body sheathing, the 2002 Hommage features an unsurprisingly more technologically sophisticated version. This particular vehicle makes use of two-tone wheels and massively over-sized wheel-arches that offer improved performance and a more imposing physique. The vehicle also features square-edged intakes as well as visible body creases for visual effect. Indeed this BMW sports sedan can be described as a more hulking version of the original 2002 [Turbo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-cayenne-coupe-electric) vehicle, only fitting given its superior technological features. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Intelligent Engineering:** The use of intelligent engineering in creating the BMW 2002 Hommage presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry. - **Technologically Sophisticated Design:** The technologically sophisticated design of the 2002 Hommage opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in automotive aesthetics and performance. - **Improving Performance:** The focus on improved performance in the 2002 Hommage creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the sports sedan market. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can leverage the intelligent engineering and technologically sophisticated design of the 2002 Hommage to drive disruptive innovation in sports sedans. - **Design:** The design industry can find inspiration in the technologically sophisticated design of the 2002 Hommage to fuel disruptive innovation in various product categories. - **Performance:** The performance industry can use the focus on improving performance in the 2002 Hommage as a foundation for disruptive innovation in sports vehicles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Precision Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-concept-skytop.md) - [Grand Touring Automotive Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-concept-speedtop.md) - [Retro-Futuristic Headlight Automobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neue-klasse.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating Motorsports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m4-csl.md) - [453-HP Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m2.md) - [Contemporary Restomod Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-pony-coupe-concept.md) - [Futuristic Hybrid SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-xm.md) - [Spaceship-Like Mini Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-concept-aceman.md) - [Remastered Iconic Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remastered-iconic-supercar.md)
