BMW M1 - 1978

The 1978 M1 was the first car ever to wear the famous boot badge. Mid-engined, with two seats and a 277hp 3.5-litre 6-cylinder engine giving a top speed of (160mph) 257.4 kph , it was arguably BMW's first and only supercar. The M in, er, M stands for motorsport, and turbocharged racing versions of the M1 were capable of pushing out around 850hp.
