Caught!!! BMW M1 Prototype!! Undisguised!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

This photo was taken in a hanger in Spain. Has some new M3 incorporated into the design. Will most likely use M5's and M6's 500hp V10 with probably a bit more power. I think it looks fantastic

. Watch out Audi R8, your worst nightmare has arrived!

Looks like there's no A$$ end on that car....I think the look would grow on me...but all I can say is "ITS NOT A CAMARO

"

So why would BMW call this the M1 if this is a supercar and they already have a 1 series? Doesn't make sense to me. Can someone explain.

if you read the postings under the pic, a lot of comments are that the pic is a chop job. it isn't real.

it looks ok but there are parts that look suspect.

Research the original M1. It dates back well before the 1 series ever existed.

info on the M1

AirGoya · 05-06-2008, 04:47 PM

oh ok thanks guys. And like Mythic said, the pic is probably a photoshop according to fastlanedaily.com. They even showed a pic of a gt40 that they probably used.

The BMW M1 was originally built by Lamborghini.... and was the beginning of the M Series cars.

I love the aggressive stance to the car. But I think the "prototype", if its REAL, is better looking.

Holy $**t. If that isn't a chop job, it's beautiful! Hell, I'd take one!
