M1 Homage Concept Proves It's A Real, Live Mid-Engined BMW Concept

When we showed you the first shots of the BMW M1 Homage, there were many a cry that Photoshop visual trickery was being used to deceive our eyes. Well, it seems the Bavarians have heard your skepticism, and in an effort to prove they're both not made of wood and that their nose isn't growing longer by the minute, have responded with this video footage. We're not saying 3D renderings can't also be used for these sort of moving pictures, but you'd have to be just plain stubborn to deny the physical existence of the M1 Homage concept after watching this footage. Besides, we just want to believe. We know there's mixed opinions on the styling, but we're too busy imagining what a modern mid-engined BMW racer would drive like to worry about what it may or may not look like.

It's called the BMW M1 Homage concept, a modern-day interpretation of the mid-engined Bavarian exotic. So is this flame-surfaced M1 successor a future classic? Well, it's hard to say.
