To commemorate its stellar rookie season and 40 years of selling cars in the US, BMW has unveiled a modern interpretation of the legendary racer - the aptly-named 3.0 CSL Hommage R.
"Motor racing is all about the ability of cars to mesmerize, about the unbridled joy of driving,"BMW Group Design senior vice president Adrian van Hooydonk said in a statement. "And as such it represents the heartbeat of BMW."
"Back in 1975, as today, winning races came down to how man and machine could work together. Technical innovations have taken the effectiveness of this partnership to ever great heights," van Hooydonk said. "And with the BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R we're aiming to show how much closer the driver and car can grow in the future."
