Racer X Design 2009 BMW RZ-M6

Even if some automakers attempt to revive old models using next-gen technology and styling elements, it's sometimes impossible to do that, especially due to the market conditions which are continuously demanding a certain type of design, engine performance or body style. This is exactly what Racer X Design, a small body styling company, is aiming to do with the early BMW 6 Series produced between 1976 and 1989, according to a report posted by Autoblog via SeriousWheels. The resulting model, dubbed RZ-M6 looks, let's say, appealing, as it combines elements of the current 6 Series with retro elements that make the overall appearance of the vehicle aggressive yet stylish.

Racer X Design aimed to modify the design of the car without altering the basic structure, the company said in a statement for the press. The resulting body is 50 mm wider which obviously offers better handling and stability plus a smoother ride.

“The RZ-M6 is designed to show how a 6 series should look like to reflect that pedigree. While aggressive, it's not over the top, keeping the lines of the current M6 structure flowing and factory like. It's not a boy racer's car, it's more mature, more elegant, yet not to be messed with. All this was evident in the older generation BMW's. This is a tribute to the E24 6 series,” Racer X Design said.

“Inspired by the earlier generation E24 6 series, the RZ-M6 captures the stylish and aggressive looks of the older generations of BMW's and puts them in the current 6 series . This is what the current 6 series could look like, by replacing body panels, yet keeping the basic structure intact. The current M6 already offers a high level of performance, with upgrades for even more power available worldwide.”
