Inspired by the BMW [M2](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m2), this particular vehicle is aptly dubbed the BMW 2002 Hommage, and was presented at the Pebble Beach auto show. The vehicle quite literally pays homage to the BMW 2002 turbo, a vehicle that was introduced in the early 1970s as BMW's first production vehicle with a turbocharged engine. Accordingly, this special edition BMW features a retro paint job and design cues combined with a next-generation turbocharged engine, features that celebrate the brand's traditions while also showing off its industry-leading engine technology. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 2% | 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Special Edition Vehicles:** Creating limited edition vehicles that pay tribute to classic models with modern features can capture consumer attention and increase brand loyalty. - **Turbocharged Engines:** Continuing to improve and innovate turbocharged engine technology can maintain brand identity while also improving performance. - **Retro Design Cues:** Incorporating design elements from classic models into modern vehicles can appeal to nostalgia and create a unique brand image. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can create unique and limited edition vehicles that celebrate their history while also showcasing their advancements in technology. - **Engineering:** Engineers can continue to innovate and improve turbocharged engine technology, enhancing vehicle performance and fuel efficiency. - **Marketing:** Special edition vehicles with retro design cues can provide marketing opportunities for automakers to reach a wider audience with targeted campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Jet-Age Racing Revivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/328-hommage.md) - [Grand Touring Automotive Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-concept-speedtop.md) - [Celebratory Miniature Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-20-years-edition.md) - [453-HP Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m2.md) - [Dynamic Precision Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-concept-skytop.md) - [Futuristic Hybrid SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-xm.md) - [Artistic Auto Showcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/20th-bmw-art-car.md) - [Dynamic Artful Car Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-m-hybrid-v8.md) - [Pop Artist-Designed Auction Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/850i-xdrive-gran-coupe.md)
