BMW M1 on keskmootoriga sportauto, mis tähistab BMW M GmbH varase ajaloo kõige olulisemat ja ambitsioonikamat projekti. Mudelit esitleti 1978. aastal ning see oli BMW M esimene iseseisev seeriamudel. Algselt loodi M1 eesmärgiga homologeerida auto võidusõiduks, kuid sellest kujunes kiiresti üks BMW ajaloo ikoonilisemaid maanteeautosid. Giorgetto Giugiaro kujundatud teravnurkne disain, madal kere ja keskele paigutatud jõuallikas eristasid M1-te selgelt kõigist teistest oma aja BMW mudelitest.
Tehniliselt kasutas BMW M1 3,5-liitrist ridakuue mootorit, mille võimsus ulatus 277 hobujõuni. Tippkiirus oli umbes 265 km/h, mis tegi sellest omal ajal ühe kiireima Saksa sportauto. Aastatel 1978–1981 toodeti BMW M1 kokku 453 eksemplari, millest 399 olid tänavale mõeldud seeriaautod. Lisaks maanteeversioonile saavutas M1 erilise koha ka motorspordiajaloos tänu BMW M1 Procar võistlussarjale, mis aitas mudeli legendistaatust veelgi tugevdada.
Minu kollektsioonis olev mudel on Minichampsi toodang.
Tehnilised andmed lühidalt:
Tootmisaeg: 1978–1981
Mootor: 3,5 l ridakuus
Võimsus: 277 hj
Tootmisarv: 453 autot
Eripära: esimene BMW M iseseisev seeriamudel
BMW M1 is a mid-engined sports car that represents one of the most important and ambitious projects in the early history of BMW M GmbH. The model was introduced in 1978 and became the first independently developed production car by BMW M. Originally, the M1 was created to homologate the car for motorsport, but it quickly became one of the most iconic road cars in BMW history. Its sharp-edged design by Giorgetto Giugiaro, low body, and mid-mounted engine clearly set the M1 apart from all other BMW models of its era.
Technically, the BMW M1 was powered by a 3.5-litre inline-six engine producing 277 horsepower. Its top speed was around 265 km/h, making it one of the fastest German sports cars of its time. Between 1978 and 1981, a total of 453 BMW M1s were built, of which 399 were road-going production cars. In addition to the road version, the M1 also secured its place in motorsport history through the BMW M1 Procar championship, which further strengthened the model’s legendary status.
The model in my collection is produced by Minichamps.
