History

A real BMW 507

The BMW 507 was originally concieved by Max Hoffman, an American importer of European cars, famous for his work on the Porsche 356 Speedster, who believed that BMW could fill a gap in the automotive market by producing a roadster version of their BMW 501 luxury saloon, that was faster than Britain's underpowered Triumph and MG sports cars. The results were the BMW 503 and 507, two powerful supercars, which went on sale in 1956 to international praise and recognition, but were ultimately overshadowed by their competitor, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. Since then, the 507 has influenced BMW's Z series of cars, particularly the BMW Z8, which keeps closely to the original styling of the 507.
