BMW 328 Hommage Concept car photo gallery

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the original BMW 328 roadster of the 1930’s, BMW has unveiled their incomparable 328 Hommage Concept car. Focusing on some of the key features adorning this Bavarian beauty, the 328 Hommage employs a straight six-cylinder powerplant and iconic kidney-shaped BMW grille stretched upright in dramatic fashion. The interior and exterior of the 328 are comprised heavily of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic and features no doors, only deep recesses for would-be passengers to enter in and out of.

Elegantly gracing the inside of the 328 Hommage are fine leather, matte and high-gloss black polished aluminum. Additionally, the 328 features, or doesn’t depending on your take, a sparse instrument panel that is dominated by only one round instrument-and a redesigned rev counter with other useful information such as oil temperature, oil pressure, and water temperature.

No specific powertrain details have been revealed apart from 3.0-liter engine under the hood. It can be assumed, however, that with the ultra lightweight carbon fiber body–weighing in at just 1,719 pounds–335 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque twin-turbocharged mill from the 2011 BMW 1-Series M Coupe, the 328 has the potential to be a rocket off the blocks.

Lincoln Star concept previews upcoming EVs

Following the lead of parent Ford, Lincoln is getting serious about electric vehicles. The Lincoln Star concept previews a line of EVs the luxury brand plans to launch over the next few years.

As expected, the Star concept is an SUV. Lincoln has been an all-SUV brand since the Continental was discontinued after the 2020 model year. The exterior vaguely follows the profile of the current Lincoln Aviator, with the passenger compartment pushed far to the back. But in place of the Aviator's blunt front end, the Star has a streamlined prow that's probably more aerodynamic.

BMW is no stranger to electric vehicles. It launched the quirky i3 hatchback in 2014, and followed it up more recently with the i4 and iX. But now BMW is making its flagship vehicle electric.

The BMW 7 Series is the automaker’s biggest, most opulent sedan, and for the 2023 model year, it gets a redesign that includes a first-ever electric variant. The 2023 BMW i7 xDrive60 (to use its full name) will start shipping to U.S. dealerships in November alongside gasoline 7 Series models (a hybrid version will arrive later as well).
