BMW HP4 Race prototype 2017

Menus

It is no longer useful to praise the BMW S 1000 RR. Powerful sportswoman with a formidable temperament, the machine is one of the most mind-blowing machines in production. And it is about to take a new step in its evolution. Something striking, rather reserved for exceptional Italian machines. With this HP4 Race, the Bayerische Motoren Werke uses a lot of carbon to make a high velocity missile..

One idea that sums it all up: the frame is made of carbon fiber. It calms down. This kind of refinement, only the Bimota DB8 Oronero and Ducati 1299 Superleggera can offer them in series. The tone changes with the German, as this is the first time that a double-spar perimeter frame has been constructed in this material. What to obtain a lightness and a very superior rigidity. To save even more weight, the rims are also made of carbon. We heard about 160 kilos on the scale. Perhaps less. The casing is also completely constructed in this high-end material.

This concept says little technically, just to shake up the Superleggera a little and whet appetites. But it will not stay that way. BMW announces a small series of HP4 Race for the second half of 2017, built by hand and equipped with the essentials of the S 1000 RR. Its copious 4-cylinder 200 hp (minimum), its advanced electronics and its thirst for performance will be there. On this prototype, we find a superb inverted pressurized Ohlins FGR fork. A product for competition, which we are unlikely to find in the limited series approaching. The Akrapovic exhaust may be renewed. As for the on-board equipment, no chance to take advantage of it. With its sensors, its 2D cockpit, its controls and its lack of road fittings, the HP4 Race prototype was used shamelessly on a WSBK machine..
BMW is not the type to crack this kind of announcement just to wow the gallery. The limited series HP4 Race should offer us a sporty lust rarely seen.
