In 1940, three BMW 328 cars were taken to Milan so that they could be fitted with aerodynamic roadster bodies by coachbuilder Carozzeria Touring. These streamlined two-seaters were only completed in 1941. Ultimately, this development resulted in racing cars with an extraordinarily good drag coefficient for the time. The bodies were manufactured using the Superleggera design patented by Touring. The aluminium outer skin was mounted on a space frame fitted to the chassis of the BMW 328. This lightweight approach to design reduced the weight of the vehicle to approximately 720 kg. Significantly modified BMW 328 engines were fitted as the power unit to generate a maximum output of 110 hp instead of 80 hp in the series version.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The planned race from Berlin to Rome was postponed a number of times and was rescheduled for 1941. Regrettably, all further motor-sport activities with German involvement were precluded as the events of the Second World War unfolded. A number of other carmakers had also designed special streamlined vehicles specifically for this race which in fact never took place. The three BMW 328 &#8220;Berlin-Rome&#8221; Touring Roadsters had not taken part in a single race by the time the war came to an end, although after the Second World War came to a close, one of them competed in numerous races.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/1941-bmw-328-berlin-rome-roadster-gallery\/\">1941 BMW 328 Berlin-Rome Roadster Gallery<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>See full <a

We are like kids in a candy store, except the candy is made of metal, goes vroom-vroom, and occasionally bankrupts us faster than a sugar rush at a candy store sale! We spend hours debating the merits of turbochargers versus superchargers, and our weekends are a never-ending quest for the perfect polish and wax combo. We can identify every make and model by the sound of a revving engine, and our idea of a romantic evening is a candlelit dinner with our cars in the garage.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.supercars.net","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Supercars.net\/","https:\/\/instagram.com\/super.cars.fans","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/supercars_net"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/supercars\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174541","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=174541"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174541\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/174542"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=174541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=174541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=174541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
