The story of the BMW 700 and its significance
The BMW 700 marks a major turning point in the history of the Bavarian car manufacturer. Introduced in the first generation, produced from 1959 to 1965, the BMW 700 was a crucial success during a time when BMW was facing financial difficulties. It was the first series-built BMW with a self-supporting body – an innovation attributed to the vision of the designer Michelotti. The vehicle was available in various body styles, including sedan, coupe, and convertible, expanding its appeal to different target groups.
Technical data and design of the original vehicle
The technology of the BMW 700 is as remarkable as its design. It was powered by an air-cooled 2-cylinder boxer engine with 697 cm³ (42.5 cubic inches) of displacement, producing 30 horsepower. This engine was mounted in the rear of the vehicle, contributing to excellent driving dynamics. The lightweight and compact engine allowed the BMW 700 to achieve a top speed of approximately 120 km/h (75 mph). In terms of design, the BMW 700 stood out with clean lines and a functional layout, making it aerodynamic and aesthetically pleasing.
Motorsport success of the BMW 700
The BMW 700 achieved significant success in motorsport. One of the most prominent drivers to pilot the vehicle was Hans Stuck, a legendary racer who won numerous races in this model.
