BMW Vision and M1

Designers have one foot in the future and one in the past. Some of them bring us futuristic art forms while other reinvent what already happened. This is the case for the German automaker BMW with two potential candidates that will face the Audi R8: the Vision and the M1.

BMW Vision is a total new concept to be built in new and lightweight materials 

to increase performances and fuel consumption.

This is a rendering of a more possible project from BMW to produce the M1.

Another rendering of a M1 prototype that resembles the old version.

The first version of the M! built between 1979 and 1981 was also used 

for competition under different teams

New Lamborghini concept Navarra

Last time I blogged about Lamborghini a totally new concept of sport car came out. It was the Ankonian. The Italian automaker had a new project realized by the designer Adan Denning of a possible V12 flagship super car called Navarra.  There are no press release on this prototype but it looks like a possible evolution of the current Murcielago car, the shark-nose front is becoming a design legacy that has been portrayed in several other projects.
