BMW owns the trademark to the Triumph Motor Company, and had the Makkina design house craft this electric concept on a BMW i3s platform to pay homage to the record-setting Triumph TR2 MCV575 “Jabbeke” from 1953.
The Triumph TR2 MVC575 “Jabbeke” claimed notoriety when it broke the land speed record for production cars under 2.0 liters. It happened in May 1953 with a pre-production prototype car wearing streamlined parts.
Cool, I just live 5 min from Jabbeke...
