1974 BMW 2002 Turbo
When the BMW 2002 Turbo was unveiled at the 1973 Frankfurt Motorshow, not everyone gave it a warm reception. Its bolt-on wings, bumper-less front spoiler, Mahle 13x6 Turbo wheels, and iconic Pantone BMW Motorsport colours were considered uncouth, some elements of the German press going as far as to accuse it of ‘provoking aggressiveness’. Indeed, for the show itself, the ‘2002’ and ‘Turbo’ reverse script, which had appeared on the front spoilers of press cars to warn unsuspecting cars just exactly what was approaching in the rear-view mirror, was removed to try to keep the peace. It didn’t work; the 2002 Turbo was and is still considered one of the naughtiest cars to have emerged from Munich.
