With hints of today&#8217;s BMW Z4 Coupe and one of BMW&#8217;s most famous racing cars, the BMW 328, the BMW Concept Coupe Mille Miglia 2006 took pride of place in Brescia, Italy yesterday (May 10) as this year&#8217;s entrants were scrutineered ahead of the event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Mille Miglia was resurrected in 1977 as an annual rally to celebrate one of the world&#8217;s great motor races. All vehicle models that competed in the original races between 1927 and 1957 are permitted an entry. Highlighting the 22 BMWs that have entered this year&#8217;s event, BMW&#8217;s latest concept looks back to these great racing cars. In particular the BMW 328 Mille Miglia Touring Coupe that was driven into the record books and past the chequered flag in the 1940 race.<\/p>\n<p>It also looks ahead to future motor sport achievements, with a modified drivetrain and suspension from the new Z4 M Coupe providing the car&#8217;s power and control. A body 23 centimetres longer, and four centimetres lower, than BMW&#8217;s latest production sports car is set off by bespoke 20-inch alloy wheels on 245\/40 R 20 tyres that complement the car&#8217;s powerful presence.<\/p>\n<p>The concept car looks to both the past and the future in its styling and construction; it pays homage to the outstanding achievements of the engineers who contributed to BMW&#8217;s successful motor sport heritage, whilst confirming the passion to construct dynamic cars from the most modern materials and processes available. This remains a fundamental concept for today&#8217;s BMW road and race cars.<\/p>\n<p>The concept car&#8217;s hinged hard-top roof is a reference to the relaxation of the rules at Le Mans when racing cars moved from soft-top to hard-top construction as closed vehicles became eligible to race. This precipitated the development of the 328 Touring Coupe from its roadster origins, allowing the model to develop further as a lightweight, aerodynamic &#8216;bespoke&#8217; racing car. While the hinged roof structure recalls past events, the principle function of the hinged system, that also raises the cockpit, negates the requirement for doors (reducing weight) and increases torsional stiffness.<\/p>\n<p>The car benefits from an extremely lightweight chassis. The most modern design processes were used to &#8216;stretch&#8217; an aluminium shell over a lattice frame. The body is also constructed from lightweight materials, with carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) clothing the entire vehicle. As a nod to the past this is painted in &#8216;fine silver&#8217;, a full-gloss paint colour with extremely fine pigments that hints to classic silver race colours.<\/p>\n<p>The large circular headlamps inspired by the shape of the 328 units are not integrated into the body of the car, but attached as flat elements. Modern LED technology facilitates this design function that frees up the designers to develop more flowing and unbroken body forms. This manifests itself on the Concept<br \/>\nCoupe by uninterrupted bonnet and side panels.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by BMW&#8217;s glorious motor racing heritage, the science of aerodynamics was addressed with thoroughly modern techniques and design resolutions. Side panels and the rear section of the car were designed to allow turbulence-free flow of air up to the tail where the airflow is separated. Carbon-fibre underbody fins and diffusers on the front and rear aprons also contribute to the car&#8217;s aerodynamics. Meanwhile air intakes in the A-pillars, arranged in a slim Z-line, direct cooling air from the six-cylinder in-line engine and contribute to developing downforce and reducing turbulence at the wheel housings.<\/p>\n<p>The Concept Coupe is powered by the multi-award winning BMW six-cylinder inline petrol engine that powers the new BMW Z4 M Coupe. Modifications have been made to the inlet and exhaust systems of the 343 hp unit to give the concept car more of a &#8216;racing&#8217; sound at both idle and full throttle.<\/p>\n<p>The interior retains the functional simplicity prevalent in both 328 racing cars and Z4 production cars, but in a modern presentation. Only three materials are used; thin stainless steel, untreated cowhides, Lycra fabric. This purist form even extends to letterings, logos and symbols embossed into surfaces using laser technology.<\/p>\n<h3><a

concept car prior to the 2006 Mille Miglia. With hints of today&#8217;s BMW Z4 Coupe and one of BMW&#8217;s most famous racing cars, the BMW 328, the BMW Concept Coupe Mille Miglia 2006 took pride of place in Brescia, Italy yesterday (May 10) as this year&#8217;s entrants were scrutineered ahead of the event.
