The first car

EPO Automotive was founded by Tim Schrick and Constantinos Calios. Project 01 is based on the BMW E30 Touring. The focus is on the engine, low weight and an unfiltered driving experience.

The plan is a 4.3-litre V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft and a six-speed manual gearbox. 500 hp and less than 1,300 kilograms are the development targets for the prototype.

Testing

A documented 30,000-kilometre drive with a sealed engine is planned. The engine is then to be opened and examined.
