The BMW 328 Hommage

Dubbed the BMW 328 Hommage, this ultra-lightweight sports car was built to mimics the principles used to create the original 328. The 328 Hommage weighs in at a "light" 1,720 pounds, accomplished through the use of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic BMW engineers of that era kept the 328 light through the use of aluminum and magnesium. Both cars are cut from a similar cloth to achieve a lightweight end result, even if the methods to get there are very different.

Many design elements are shared between both cars. The original 328 was one of the earliest BMW vehicles to show off the now familiar kidney grilles. Those grilles nearly jump off the face of the 328 Hommage. Out back, the wide-set taillamps help close off the wide stance that runs the length of both versions.
