Industrial designer Ismet
Çevik who is from Turkey, has
been working on two interesting projects
for the past few months. One of them
is a rendering of a BMW 8 Series. Of
course BMW has nothing to do with this project, it’s just a dream design from Çevik
who, like many I presume, wishes for the return of 8. Some people believe the i8 is the next 8 Series reincarnate.
As you can see from the pictures, the car evolved from being
a two-door coupe to what are now
final images showing a 4-door
version. I suppose it is bigger than the new BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe.
“It’s actually a real rival to the Mercedes CL,” says Çevik. “Because I think the 6-Series is not a
full comparison to the CL-Class. I went a bit further from a CL, and also
included Rolls-Royce and Bentley
influences. It is definitely a 90′s legend 8-Series. High class, business, luxury
and supersport. Created to be new legend for BMW.”
Over 31 000 units of the 8 Series – designed by a man
called Klaus Kapitza -
were built between 1989 and 1999. South Africa
certainly imported its fair share.

Someone at BMW please look at this car and produce it please pretty please.
I like this guys's style he's very good from Turkey
I like these illustrations.
If only BMW would take it as it is and put it into production and just give the designer his dues. A beautiful rendering I must say, pity BMW and beauty no longer go hand in hand
