The Story of the BMW 850 CSi
The BMW 850 CSi, part of the E31 generation, was produced from 1990 to 1999 and represented the flagship of BMW's 8 Series. This model series, designed as a luxury sports coupe, was first introduced to the market in 1990. In that year, there were also significant political events like the reunification of Germany. This historical context helps to better understand the historical background. The BMW 850 CSi was developed as the successor to the BMW 6 Series of the E24 generation and was particularly known for its outstanding performance and luxurious interior. The design of the car was by Klaus Kapitza, while Pietro Lardini was involved in the development of the engine. These two personalities significantly contributed to the iconic status of the car.
Technical Features of the BMW 850 CSi
The BMW 850 CSi was equipped with a 5.6-liter V12 engine that delivered 380 horsepower and 550 Nm (405 ft-lb) of torque. This power allowed the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 5.8 seconds. It was one of the most powerful cars in its class at the time and came with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Interestingly, the engine for this model range was originally developed by M-Technicians, explaining the high performance and excellent driving capabilities. The rear suspension was specially revised for the BMW 850 CSi and included an Active Rear Axle Kinematics (AHK) system for improved driving dynamics. These technical nuances make the vehicle a technically sophisticated and special model in the history of the automotive industry.
