BMW Group Classic presents the completely restored roadster of the “King of Rock’n’Roll” for the first time in public at the popular classic car show in California.
BMW Group Classic is bringing about a revival of the super sports car at the “Austrian Grand Prix” and recalling the spectacular race series held in 1979 and 1980 – 14 former racing cars and lots of drivers from yesteryear are appearing in the Legends Parade at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg.
80 years ago, BMW presented the R 5 to the international public - an exciting new technological development that was to influence motorcycle construction right through to the 1950s. Inspired by the factory racing machine, it was one of the groundbreaking sports motorbikes of the late 1930s. To mark the 80th anniversary of the BMW R 5, BMW Motorrad is honouring this icon at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2016 with a special model: the BMW R 5 Hommage.
Munich/Cernobbio. The BMW Group has created a very special car for this year’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este to pay tribute to one of the most significant models in its history. First and foremost, the BMW 2002 Hommage celebrates the extraordinary feats of engineering behind the BMW 2002 turbo – and re-imagines them as a design study for our times.
Munich/Cernobbio. With BMW’s centenary headline “The Next 100 Years” in mind, the BMW Group is bringing together, for the first time, the full line-up of Hommage vehicles unveiled over recent years. They will be joined on display at a special exhibition titled “Hommage and Concept Vehicles” in the Padiglione Centrale at Villa Erba by the models from the past that inspired them.
Images and videos of the Concorso D`Eleganza Villa D´Este 2016 will be uploaded during the weekend on the BMW Group Classic mediaserver.
The BMW Group takes six of the legendary roadsters to the starting line in the competition for historic automobiles driving through the North of Italy.
BMW Group Classic and the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este present a journey through time on the shores of Lake Como from 20th to 22nd May 2016, covering different eras of mobility +++ The motto “Back to the Future – the Journey continues” creates the arc between the initial years of the event to the present day
Munich. No other automotive beauty contest worldwide can match the tradition and heritage of the Concorso d‘Eleganza Villa d’Este. “We need to preserve this tradition but also build on it,” explains Karl Baumer, President of the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este and Director of BMW Group Classic. “The paramount aim is to put on an exceptional weekend for the participants and visitors.”
