BMW 507
1955 - 1959
The BMW 507 was designed, as direct
competition to the Mercedes 300 SL, by Albrecht Goertz, who was
also the designer of the famous Datsun 240Z and James Bond's
Toyota 2000GT. Built almost entirely by hand they took a long
time to complete and thus were very expensive. Although they were
seldom successful on the race track and never really threatened
the Mercedes sports cars they have become one of the most sought
after post war BMW’s. Only 253 of these magnificent cars
were produced between 1955 and 1959.
Powered by an all alloy 3168cc V8 developing 119kW (160bhp) the
BMW 507 could get to 96kph from standstill in 9 seconds. With a
four speed gearbox and the longest axle ratio available this
sports car could reach a maximum speed of 225kph (140 mph).
