BMW 3.0 CSL Returns

The first 1971 BMW 3.0 CSL was built specifically for the European Touring Car Championship. Now, almost 50 years later, BMW has introduced a new 3.0 CSL based on the new generation M3/M4.

At first glance, the 3.0 CSL looks more like the modern-day coupes of BMW's new lineup than before; This is not a full-on retro styling car with round headlights. However, there are somewhat obvious visual differences between the two CSLs, including flared fenders and quarter panels, a roof-mounted spoiler made of fibre glass-reinforced plastic and a rear wing similar to the unit fitted on the earlier car. The 1972 3.0 CSL was nicknamed the "Batmobile" because of its wing. The company will give you the spoiler as an accessory and the owners have to get it installed on their own.

Also, the LED headlamps that you see on the M5 CS, where you also get LED tail lamps at the rear. The aero strip on top of the roof reminds you of the Batmobile. There is a logo on the C-pillar, which is reminiscent of the old BMW times.

According to BMW, almost all the body panels of the new 3.0 CSL are made from carbon fibre. The roof spoiler is made of fiberglass while the exhaust is made of titanium. The new 3.0 CSL comes with exclusive BMW Motorsport.

The vehicle is powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged straight-six engine. It produces 552 BHP of power and 550 Nm of torque, which makes it the most powerful road-going six-cylinder BMW ever. The engine will be sold with a 6-speed manual gearbox and Active M rear differential.
