BMW is bringing back the Batmobile.
Not the cape crusader's car, but an homage to one of its most famous models.
The 3.0 CSL of the early 1970s was built to homologate a racing car based on the E9 coupe and featured widebody styling and a pair of wings to improve its aerodynamics.
A small one was installed at the top of the rear glass while another over the trunk was mounted between swept-back supports shaped like tail fins that earned the car its nickname.

It has now transformed the current M4 into a new 3.0 CLS (Coupe Sport Lightweight) with similar design updates and the most-powerful straight-six-cylinder engine it has ever produced.
