BMW 328 Hommage Concept Car (18 pics)

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the original BMW 328 classic of the late 1930s auto brand BMW has unveiled their unique 328 Hommage Concept car. It’s based on the Vision Connected Drive Concept shown at Geneva this year. The 328 Hommage will employ a straight six-cylinder powerplant and the familiar kidney-shaped BMW grille stretched upright in dramatic fashion. 

The interior and exterior make heavy use of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic and there are no doors–just deep recesses. In a nod to the racing heritage of the original 328 the car is extremely light, weighing in at just 1,719 pounds."With the BMW 328 Hommage, we wish to pay homage to the passion and inventiveness of the fathers of the BMW 328. They created an icon, which is considered a milestone in the history of the automobile." said Karl Bäumer, CEO of BMW Group Classic.

Zero Moto – Concept of High-Speed Electric Motorcycle

Eco concepts more and more confidently enter into the life of modern people – eco building, eco cars, and now – eco motorcycles. The presence of an electric motor for motorcycles is nothing new but the concept of the motorcycle we will show today – is not just electric motorcycle. “Zero Moto” – is a concept of eco all-while drive motorcycle with electric motors placed in the front and rear wheels and on-board processor for the control of torque. First of all you will notice an unusual, futuristic design of the concept developed by designer Wes Rhoad. The inspiration for such a design was the Art Deco Steam Locomotives.

 

Zero Moto has a very low center of gravity due to the low placement of the batteries providing power to electric motors. Hubs and wheels have an unusual design which allows to turn wheels towards each other to decrease the turning radius with the normal speed and rotate in one direction to change the strip at high speeds. According to the designer expected maximum speed of motorcycle is about 90mph and operating range – 200 kilometers. Zero Moto is not just an unusual bike, like a sprinter it gains 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds.
