A sort of automotive Frankenstein’s monster, except sexy instead of hideous, the M-Zero concept was designed as a BMW despite containing elements of Audi, Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz, among others. Photo artist Mael Oberkampf’s creation is little more than a flight of fancy, but as a design study, it’s brilliant.

Combining some of the best elements of cars like BMW’s 6-series (check out the front third of the car) and Audi’s R8 (the midsection) with Aston Martin features (rear haunches) and yet coming out with a final product that seems totally original is a feat that has largely escaped the Chinese stylists that have taken a similar approach to design.

Still, it’s nothing more than a rendering, and will not be produced by BMW, although some enterprising individual or coach builder could finance a one-off model. One can only imagine what a beast it would be, powered by the V10 from the M5 - or even better, rebranded as an Audi with a mid-mounted diesel V12.

I actually like the way it looks. Front kind of reminds me of a bentley for some reason.

Which is exactally why it needs to go.

if the tail lights didnt have a point at the top it would be better, take off about 2 lines from the tails it would be better other than that its awsome

I have to agree. There are so many elements from so many different cars though (which is what he set forth to accomplish).

[eN_2_Oh]

overall, it is a sexy rendering.
although yes, the tails could be augmented some more. but given the work put into this and the design as a whole, its damn good looking.

i appreciate the creativity and the work
