New BMW 3.0 CSL

In 2015, BMW showcased its 3.0 CSL Hommage R concept car, itself a reflection of the legendary 1970s 3.0 CSL “Batmobile,” and now, the German marque has officially unveiled its incredibly limited, ready-to-buy road-going version, the BMW 3.0 CSL.

Marking the 50th anniversary of the car it draws inspiration from, BMW will only be making 50 examples of the new 3.0 CSL. Each is given the utmost attention courtesy of BMW’s M division, crowning the car as the most exclusive machine it has ever built. A hand-selected team of 30 workers has been enlisted to develop and oversee the creation of the vehicle, and every single one of the 50 iterations built is subjected to an extensive assembly process that takes up to 10 days.

With this in mind, this is no ordinary BMW. Instead, it’s a car with more pedigree and stature than anything that’s ever come from the M skunkworks, possessing all of the characteristics that make this car an homage while also presenting a modernized aesthetic.

Trained eyes will know that this car is loosely based on the BMW M4 coupe, but that’s where the similarities start and end. Aerodynamics include a new front end and deck-lid spoiler that’s meant to be a streamlined version of what came in the ’70s, while touches like yellow-tinted headlamps hark back to the past. Additionally, a heritage and aptly-themed paint job and livery scheme have been applied to the car, referencing the original with its “Alpine White” and BMW M GmbH hues.

To back up the credentials, the 3.0 CSL packs the most powerful straight six-cylinder engine with direct injection ever used in a BMW. Here, 3.2 liters deliver 560 HP, 550 Nm of torque, and a sub-four-second sprint to 62 MPH coming courtesy of a desirable six-speed manual gearbox that revs to 7,200 RPM. Coupled with the low weight (remember, CSL stands for Coupe, Sports, Lightweight) of just 1,270kg before fluids and a driver, and this is set to be one formidable track weapon, if one were to actually drive such a rarity.

Audi S3

The Audi S3 was ahead of its time. While all-wheel drive and turbocharged four-cylinders are common in modern hot hatches, this pocket-rocket arrived in 1999, when they were comparatively rare. Did someone say ‘future classic’?  In contrast, there is some old-school hardware mixed with the then new. You have a six-speed manual gearbox, for example, with an intuitive shift action. There’s also some classic turbo lag to contend with, although many will likely enjoy the thrill of the surge.  Once on boost, you’ll be deploying 207bhp from its 1.8-litre engine – if your Audi S3 is a pre-2001 example. After that year and until production ceased in 2003, the model came with 222bhp. The all-wheel drive system the power is sent through, while called quattro, is actually the Haldex set-up often found in Volkswagen Group cars. This means it is primarily front-wheel drive and sends power to the rear only when needed. And it puts that power down well – provided the car is on decent tyre
