Falkor is a reinterpretation of the 1972 BMW 3.0 CS, conceived as the very idea of a BMW restomod grand tourer. It brings together the grace of a classic coupe and the vigour of contemporary mechanicals. Its name evokes a mythical dragon in the service of the hero, and the car transposes that energy into a line at once bred and serene, ready to swallow distance.

Design and materials
The fluid silhouette of the E9 coupe wears a brilliant Mythic White set off by chrome. Inside, an unexpected mint green suede installs an atmosphere of freshness and nerve. Everything was drawn and made to measure: fine stitching, deep carpets, wood veneers, reinterpreted switchgear, in a stated contrast with the austerity you might expect of a performance led build. Falkor fully accepts its share of elegance and quiet luxury.
On the road
Beneath that slender coat beats a new heart: a six cylinder from a BMW M5 E34 developing 315 hp. The whole drivetrain was reworked for everyday reliability and the road holding of a modern grand tourer. Generous torque, a precise manual gearbox, sharpened suspension: Falkor glides over the asphalt with a rare fluency, suspended between heritage and modernity.
