BMW has unveiled a freshly liveried version of its 2002 Hommage concept at the Pebble Beach concours event in California. And, to cut right to the chase, we need this car immediately.It"s been shod in an orange and black livery "synonymous in the minds of many motorsport fans with the triumphs of the 1970s", according to BMW, while the wheels are now gold. Simply put, very cool indeed.There aren"t any other changes to the 2002 concept we saw a couple of months back the one first unveiled at Villa d"Este. It"s a nod to the original 2002 from 50 years ago, and a nod to the future of BMW"s performance cars (in an age increasingly defined by autonomous motoring).Underneath sits the chassis of the BMW M2, while up top is its glass and roof. The rest of that spectacular bodyshape was built from scratch (in around six months) from carbonfibre. "It"s the best material," BMW"s design chief Karim Habib told TG.com a couple of months back.
