This compact car was known for its sporty performance and competitive participation in motorsport events. A crucial moment in the history of the BMW 2002 Gr.2 was its introduction by the designer Giovanni Michelotti and the engineers Eberhard von Kuenheim and Paul G. Hahnemann.
Technical Features of the BMW 2002 Gr.2
The BMW 2002 Gr.2 was a compact car with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine capable of producing up to 170 horsepower.
