Back in the early part of 2016, BMW unveiled its weird and retro 2002 Hommage design study. If you thought that was the last you’d seen of the vehicle, you were wrong. BMW has breathed new life into it with a different livery, and even paraded the thing out for Concours d’Elegance in Pebble Beach.

This time around, the 2002 Hommage is being used to showcase that BMW is a turbocharger master. As BMW proudly points out, the 1973 2002 turbo was the first series-produced vehicle sold in the European market with a turbo. Then in 1983 the company was the first to win the Formula One World Championship using a turbocharged car, once again show it’s the meister of forced induction (or something along those lines).

As you can clearly see from the photos, this time around the Hommage Turbomeister is wrapped in a black-and-orange livery that hearkens to BMW’s past. The name “Turbomeister” graces several spots on the car, like an imaginary sponsor that loves having a logo with a scrip font. Instead of a stag’s head featured on the hood and front fascia, there’s a turbocharger gracing the crest.

And just in case you didn’t catch that the design concept is turbocharged, and all about celebrating turbos, “Turbo” is written in large block font across the back of the spoiler.
