BMW‘s Concept Roadster, a stripped down and thoroughly modern take on the classic BMW motorcycle, is set to debut on the shores of Italy’s Lake Como at this year’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. The Concept Roadster is powered by BMW’s classic two-cylinder boxer engine, displacing 1,170 cubic centimeters and good for 123 horsepower and 92 lb-ft of torque. Surrounding the engine is a sparkling blue tubular space frame, featuring a sculptured fuel tank that flows into a single-piece aluminum rear. Additional details include a seat wrapped in perforated Alcantara, precision milled aluminum parts and an aerodynamic engine spoiler. Aluminum air intakes flanking black radiators, as well as an LED headlamp array, complete the striking good looks.

‘the operation is very similar to the mid-generational refresh applied today by all car manufacturers to keep the product competitive and attractive to customers without making expensive technical amendments,’ he adds. ‘yet, the transition between the E120 and E9 was particularly important for BMW because the new front gave the car a strong stylistic identity with a recognizable personality. the design with the four round headlights has proved to be a winning style pattern that BMW has been carrying on for over 35 years evolving and proposing it on all its models.’

the interior design is minimalist with simple lines and high quality materials such as wood or hand-stitched leather. it lacks references to the BMW coupés of the 60s such as the four circular instruments that on the CS vintage concept become four small TFT screens two of which are freely programmable. the central hideaway monitor displays navigational and infotainment data.

Canadian company Campagna Motors developing three-wheeled vehicles is ready to launch a new model into production. Model T-REX 16S will use BMW motorcycle engine. T-REX 16S will go into series production in addition to T-REX 14R and T-REX 14RR. Power 1.6-liter engine for the T-REX 16S is 160 hp of torque 175 Nm. The engine is paired with a six-speed sequential gearbox. And all these features cones with elegant and stylish design. Take a look!
