Nowadays, German cars are sold all over the world, being almost synonymous with luxury. Some might argue that we are slaves of globalization, but it’s definitely better than waging wars all the time.
Turn the clock back to 1940, and World War 2 was in full swing. The German air force was busy battling over the skies of Britain in their ME-109 and FW 190 single-seater fighter aircraft. The Focke-Wolf was powered by something called the 801 C-1, a radial engine with 14 cylinders produced by BMW and making 1560 hp.
Up against it were the allied air forces, mainly Britain and the United States. Using their P-51 Mustangs, Spitfires and Hurricanes.
The world has largely forgotten about the bullets screeching through the air and the mighty BMW-powered fighter. And somebody even though it’d be funny to paint an E60 M5 in the colors of the US Air Force. The camo pattern is a mix of greens and metallic gray. There’s even a pinup girl and the official air force logo. The panel lines are coated with tiny rivets as well.
