This gorgeous BMW 328 Hommage has been produced to celebrate the original BMW 328 model. Although eons apart in terms of the technological development that has occurred over the 75 years in between, the original and the new 328 share one crowning principle - lightweight materials to create a superbly fast racing car.

BMW says:

The BMW 328 is considered the most successful and best-looking sports car of the 1930s. The BMW 328’s success was the result of its design parameters – through the use of systematic lightweight construction, aerodynamic lines, optimum engine types and outstanding suspension technology, it laid the foundation stone for a new vehicle concept, by which performance only leads to success if combined with perfect harmonisation of all parameters and maximum efficiency.

While the BMW 328 Hommage goes on show over the weekend at the Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza, it’s easier to see just what the original meant to cars and racing 75 years ago. And even though the new 328 Hommage exemplifies the use of new technologies and lightweight materials, it merely builds on an idea that was born a long time ago.
