Photo artist mocks up beautiful BMW M-Zero concept

Plex

A sort of automotive Frankenstein�s monster, except sexy instead of hideous, the M-Zero concept was designed as a BMW despite containing elements of Audi, Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz, among others. Photo artist Mael Oberkampf�s creation is little more than a flight of fancy, but as a design study, it�s brilliant.

Combining some of the best elements of cars like BMW�s 6-series (check out the front third of the car) and Audi�s R8 (the midsection) with Aston Martin features (rear haunches) and yet coming out with a final product that seems totally original is a feat that has largely escaped the Chinese stylists that have taken a similar approach to design.

Still, it�s nothing more than a rendering, and will not be produced by BMW, although some enterprising individual or coach builder could finance a one-off model. One can only imagine what a beast it would be, powered by the V10 from the M5 - or even better, rebranded as an Audi with a mid-mounted diesel V12.

I don't like the styling. Something about it just seems unbalanced.

the back of the car is too long, unless it is meant to be a mid engined car, in that the case the front could be shorter.
and there is just something wrong with the shape of the trunk and tail lights.

I feel bmw is targeting the audi r8 market..The shape is usual which does not look like what bmw we know..But its an interesting concept..
