Say hello to the BMW 328 100th Anniversary
Hommage EV, an eye-catching concept created by designer Hae Kyoung Jung. BMW introduced the 328
in 1936. As a result, the following creation has been imagined for the year 2036,
when the car will celebrate its 100th anniversary. The original was a sleek
speedster with rear wheel covers and a truly timeless design and also featured
a pair of absolutely massive front kidney grilles.
The 100th Anniversary Hommage pictured is,
unsurprisingly, adorned with much more angular and aggressive body panels and
lines as opposed to the flowing surfaces of the original. At the front, there
are a set of relatively small kidney grilles and a pair of sharp LED
headlights. The nose itself also sticks out quite a bit and while we’re not
sure it would meet pedestrian safety regulations, it definitely looks good.
Much like the original 328, the 100th
Anniversary Hommage concept is a speedster although it only features a single
seat located right in the center. Another interesting aspect of the concept’s
design is the tail that features an elongated decklid and areas just as sharp
as the front, while the solid wheel covers can be illuminated blue.
McLaren recently unveiled its very own
speedster in the form of the Elva, created as a direct rival to the Ferrari
Monza SP1 and SP2. Unfortunately, there’s very little chance that BMW would
follow the leads of McLaren and Ferrari with producing a speedster, as it
wouldn’t justify its cost.
