The 2003 BMW Birusa is a concept car that explored how a classic car type -- in this case, the "GT" format, with a front engine, rear wheel drive and two seats -- could look in the future. This model borrows its chassis and engineering from BMW's Z8, including a 400-horsepower V8 engine and 6-speed manual gearbox, but attempts to take BMW's signature look in a new direction.
