BMW M Hybrid V8 gets camouflage livery with historical elements.print

Ahead of the start of the testing phase of the LMDh prototype for the 2023 season of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, BMW M Motorsport presents the name, the design and an exciting camouflage livery for the vehicle. The BMW M Hybrid V8 gets a look designed by BMW Group Designworks that celebrates the history of BMW M Motorsport in North America while defining a dynamic hybrid-electric future. The most important news for the fans: The prototype is clearly recognizable as a BMW M vehicle.

The hallmark of the design of the BMW M Hybrid V8 is the wide kidney grille. There are also typical BMW M design elements such as the embedded 50-year anniversary logo on the front, the iconic BMW headlights, the dynamic side line, the Hofmeister kink, the M rear-view mirror and the rear lights. The camouflage livery with which the BMW M Hybrid V8 will complete its test drives bears many elements from the approximately five decades of racing history in North America. The outlines of historic racing cars - the 1975 BMW 3.0 CSL, the 1981 BMW M1/C, the 1978 BMW 320i Turbo, the 1986 BMW GTP, the BMW M3 E36 GTS-2, the BMW Z4 GTLM and the BMW M8 GTE - form a mosaic , which still somewhat obscures the exact outlines of the BMW M Hybrid V8 during the test phase.
