Motorclassica 2015: BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R to be showcased in Melbourne

BMW Australia to show off 3.0 CSL Hommage R, new 7 Series, M4 GTS and new MINI Clubman at Motorclassica

 

BMW Australia will headline its exhibit at 2015 Motorclassica with the BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R, which was first unveiled at the Concours d’Elegance at Pebble Beach in August. The aggressively styled coupe is a throwback to the original 3.0 CSL and its styling, technology and motorsport livery. Motorclassica is the concept car’s first outing in the Southern Hemisphere.

The BMW M4 GTS will also be on display to give fans a taste of future BMW M hot rods and the Bavarian marque will also be showcasing the all-new and Mercedes-Benz S-Class rivalling BMW 7 Series limo.

Mercedes-Benz has previously used the Motorclassica event to premiere variants of the current shape S-Class.
The BMW i8 petrol/electric supercar will also make an appearance and BMW will use the event for the Australian premiere of the quirky six-door MINI Clubman.

Motorbike fans are catered for with the new BMW R1200 RS and S 1000 XR models among others on show.
BMW Group Australia Chief Executive Officer Marc Werner said the 3.0 CSL Hommage and new 7 Series point to both the present and future of BMW.
“The BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage R was a showstopper upon its unveiling earlier this year, and we are sure it will have the same impact at Motorclassica on Friday,” Werner said.
“The Hommage recognises one of the most iconic cars in our history, and is a tribute to the motorsport success which has helped build the BMW legend.
“Standing alongside an original 3.0 CSL, as well as our all-new BMW 7 Series, Motorclassica will be a celebration of the best of where we have come from, and where we are going.”
Motorclassica will be held at the beautiful Royal Exhibition Centre in Carlton, and opens its doors on Friday the 23^rd of October, with the show wrapping up on the following Sunday.
