The E25 Turbo concept sports car was built by BMW as a celebration for the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.[1] It was designed by Paul Bracq, with gullwing doors and was based on a modified 2002 chassis with a mid-mounted engine. The Turbo featured a 276 hp turbocharged version of the engine from the BMW 2002, foam-filled front and rear sections to absorb impact, side impact beams, a braking distance monitor utilizing radar,[2] and a futuristic cockpit. The car developed 2060NaN0 at 7100 rpm and could reach 1000NaN0 from a standstill in 6.6 seconds. The top speed was 2500NaN0.[3] Only two were ever built.[4] BMW later used the Turbo's design themes on the M1, the 8 Series, the Z1 and the 2008 M1 Homage Concept. The BMW E-25 is however most similar to the BMW M1.
