There's only one thing that gets BMW fanatics
salivating more than the letter M – and that's the CSL badge. The letters have
long stood for the most hardcore performance Bimmers, and are rumored to
resurface on an even more focused version of the M2.
It's been speculatively rendered by one
Monholo Oumar, the same French graphic artist who gave us that tempting 320i
Turbo Hommage concept a couple of months ago (among others).
The concept is based on the M2 coupe, which we're
glad to say very much does exist, and has already gathered a loyal following.
Only the CSL renderings add (much) wider fenders, more aggressive aero
(including a rather large rear wing and exposed-carbon ground effects), and
those delicious racing stripes that are a signature of BMW's racing models.
The interior has also been virtually stripped out
and fitted with a half roll cage, fixed bucket seats, and five-point harnesses
to keep driver and passenger in place as the vehicle looks capable of producing
very high G forces indeed.
