The 2023 BMW 3.0 CSL revives the iconic name used on the homologation special from the 1970s that allowed BMW to race in the European Touring Car Championship, and modernizes the original "Batmobile" 3.0 CSL's wild design.

The kidney grille is tamer than on most modern BMWs, and it flows into sharp headlights with yellow LED accents that mimic BMW's current M4 GT3 race car.

The rear end of the 3.0 CSL echoes the original with two wings, one mounted on the rear decklid and one sprouting from the roof.

The interior design is largely similar to the standard M4, but carbon fiber is featured extensively throughout the cabin.

The 3.0 CSL pairs its twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive.

That 3.0-liter produces 553 horsepower, making the 3.0 CSL the most powerful road-legal BMW M car ever.

The motor also produces 406 pound-feet of torque, the same as the non-Competition-spec M4.

Most of the bodywork is fashioned from carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic, helping keep the 3.0 CSL's weight down.

The 3.0 CSL is painted white and emblazoned with stripes in the traditional BMW M color combo, just like the original "Batmobile" race car.

The gold-colored wheels measure 20 inches up front and 21 inches at the rear.
