Adrenalin – The BMW Touring Car Story [DVD]
“ADRENALIN” – that’s the first feature length documentation about the touring
car history of BMW.
The film looks back on 50 years of touring car racing with the bavarian brand. As
detailed, stunning and emotional as never before. The plot starts in the 60s, where
the cars have been prepared on the hayfield and the drivers were sliding over the
Nürburgring or the Eau Rouge in Spa until the flies were sticking on the side
windows of their cars.
The founding of the M GmbH in the beginning of the 70s. The M1 with the legendary ProCar races during the Grand Prix weekends. The success story of the M3. And the glory days of the DTM with wheel to wheel racing at its best. “ADRENALIN” lets you relive the history. Alex Zanardi’s miracle with his victories in the World Touring Car Championship after his terrible accident, where he lost his legs. BMW’s sensational comeback into DTM with that unexpected win of the championship title. The film illustrates BMW’s touring car highlights from five decades. Stars and strategists narrate from the cockpit’s perspective. From Hubert Hahne and Striezel Stuck to Bruno Spengler. From Jochen Neerpasch and Charly Lamm to Jens Marquardt.
Designed by Mercedes’ head of design Bruno Sacco, the W124 range immediately became the benchmark by which medium-sized car models were judged in the late 1980s due to its engineering excellence and high build quality. There was a model to suit every would-be-buyer, from the taxi driver through the family motorist and on to those who were willing and able to pay for luxury and performance. This book covers: design, development and manufacture of all models of W124 including estates, cabriolets and the stylish coupe range; engines and performance; special editions and AMG models and, finally, buying and owning a W124 today.
