BMW CS

This is a BMW concept car that may go into production, and is aiming to return the old, classic and aggressive look of the BMW.


This car is officially made a as design study, to concentrate on an expression of design, use the highest quality materials and finish. However, a toned-down car will give BMW a model to rival the Porsche saloon, which is due to hit showrooms in 2009. Adrian Hooy­donk, the product design manager of the car said that, although this was a difficult look to achieve while still meeting European crash test regulations, engineers had worked hard to return to some BMW design roots.

This is a futuristic shape and the fact this CS is a show car, the grille, slanted headlamps and short overhangs could all appear on the next 7 and 5-Series. With its sleek, curving roof line, the car holds a conventional sal­oon body and keeps the distinctive kink at the rear of the car. Other clever touches are the intricately patterned and massive 21 inch alloys, large bonnet vents, and the nose even has clever LED headlamps that are there to reduce glare for oncoming drivers.

"Through its supreme presence, stylish elegance, and challenging dynamism, the BMW Concept CS, in a nutshell, offers truly unique design language with highly individual aesthetic features never seen before. Precisely this explains why all the elementary values of the BMW brand are concentrated in the BMW Concept CS, superior dynamics and sophisticated elegance all being borne out together through the authentic style and design of the car."
