M1 Turbo 1972
M1 Turbo 1972
Design drawing by Paul Bracq. Mixed media on cardboard. Rear view. Frame sizes:
21.26 x 29.92 in.
The origin of the M1 goes back to the Turbo Concept created for the 1972 Munich Olympics. Initially, the car had to show the technological level reached by the German automotive industry after the difficult period of the 60s. The design was curated by Paul Bracq (formerly maker of the TGV train), who took up the line of Italian sports cars by building a wedge-shaped mid-engine vehicle. The concept car was equipped with a turbo 2.0 engine derived from 2002 with a four-speed manual gearbox. The vehicle was equipped with a radar system that alerted the driver of the proximity of another vehicles.
Errata corrige: Lot in process to be declared of Italian cultural heritage.
