Very nice. I bet it has been designed by Bungle Bear. I suppose he had to get one right in the end. Henners |

It's a Gallardo with a BMW front end photoshopped in.

Giorgetto Giugiaro designed the M1 based on the turbo. Lamborghini were to build it but couldnb't sort themselves out so the contract was then given to Baur |

...A fake! Oh no I knew it was too good to be true. I didn't know the M1 was built by Baur. Interesting! Ian |

Apparently Lamborghini went bust while they had the body moulds for the panels, so to get them back the chaps at BM had to break in and pinch them back before the liquidators got hold of them.. (Read this somewhere but don't take it as gospel, have a look at old Lambo's and you'll maybe see one that looks similar to the M1, Jalpa I think)

WITH REFERENCE TO THE M1: Brainchild of Bimmer's Motorsport Boss Jochen Neerspach... Ital Design did the body, Lamborghini did chassis.Giugiaro 'gave BMW a shape'. Lambo went t1ts up (probably owed some lira to the mafia). TIR supplied the GRP panels. Ital Design put chassis and bodies together in their own premises, and final assembly was by Stuttgart coachbuilders Baur. Reading on the lav' HAS come in handy! John |
