Few words & links:

The BMW 507 was a true sports car, a masterpiece brainchild of US BMW importer Max Hoffman, designed by Albrecht von Goertz. With a price of over $9,000 BMW was never expected to gain public acceptance in United States, and only 253 cars had been build for three years. Today, the BMW Z8 can be regarded as BMW 507 successor - a heritage compliment to the original 507 concept.
