1/18 Scale BMW 2002 1973 White Spark 18S718 1:18th 18S718
Brand new and boxed
The BMW 2002 Turbo (E20) was launched at the 1973 Frankfurt Motor Show as Europe's first turbocharged production car. It was based on the BMW 2002 tii, but with a number of modifications to handle the extra power, including a KKK turbocharger, Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection, and larger brakes.
The 2002 Turbo produced 170 PS (125 kW; 168 hp) at 5,800 rpm and 240 N⋅m (177 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4,000 rpm, giving it a top speed of 211 km/h (131 mph). It could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.5 seconds.
The 2002 Turbo was a revolutionary car for its time, and it is considered to be one of the most important cars in BMW's history. It paved the way for future turbocharged BMWs, such as the M1 and the M3.
The 2002 Turbo was also a successful race car, winning numerous championships in Europe and North America.
Only 1,672 2002 Turbos were built before production was halted in 1975, due to the 1973 oil crisis. This makes the 2002 Turbo a highly collectible car today.
