Behold: the 1972 BMW 3.0 CSL Coupe. They called it ‘The Batmobile’ and you can see why.

Based on the E9 Coupe, the CSL reigned utterly supreme in its day – taking the European Touring Car Championship trophy in 1973, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978 and 1979 along with a legendary win at Le Mans in 1973.

The monstrous rear aero wing shipped in the boot for installation at the owners’ discretion as it was illegal in Germany at the time.

Up for auction next month.

        Hi pumpkin! I’m not on the naughty step and never have been.

    That looks like the feeble effort I produce when my 7 year old asks me to draw a car.

        yep

        I’m going to guess it’s a Rover 800 Vanden Plas

        driven in the correct attire naturally:
        Imperial Leisure style + string-back driving gloves & polaroids

            yes I believe so, best of Brittas engineering apparently

            Honda Rover also specified good thick velour seating for their Vanden Plas spec. which was known to be fairly stain resistant too

        Ah give over
        If Wagner did boy-racers this would be it
        In your face loud and ugly
        Cheap and vulgar
        And a glutton of a fuel guzzler

        How is that not Charger’s Doppelganger on wheels
