The car, which entered the race as the successor to the BMW E9, was designed by the designer Paul Bracq, famous for his elegant and timeless designs. Technically, the 635CSI is based on the proven 3.5-liter in-line six-cylinder engine, which produced approximately 286 horsepower, allowing the vehicle to accelerate to top speeds of over 250 km/h (155 mph).
