This futuristic BMW prototype was created in the 1980s in a wind tunnel.
The 1970s and 1980s are often regarded as BMW's design pinnacles. Beautiful automobiles like the 3.0 CSL, 2002, E28 M5, E24 6 Series, and E30 M3 were introduced to us throughout those decades. However, one design—the BMW AVT—was sadly never developed beyond the idea stage and was just utilized as a technical aerodynamic test bed. BMW wanted a public relations vehicle to go along with their new aerodynamic wind tunnel facility, which debuted in 1981. BMW created the AVT, or aerodynamischer Versuchsträger (German for "aerodynamic test vehicle," as a consequence, and it has similarities to the Volkswagen XL1 that was inspired by it more than thirty years later. It was only a body designed to test the wind tunnel; it had no interior or engine. But it was such a great design, I wish BMW had the courage to make it a production car. BMW's head of design Domagoj Dukec revealed some photos of the AVT from back in its day and, since it was designed purely for aerodynamics,
