Which French designer created the 1972 BMW Turbo concept car?

French designer Paul Bracq created the 1972 BMW Turbo concept car, also known as the BMW E25 Turbo.

BMW presented the concept during the 1972 Munich Olympic period as a futuristic technology and safety study. Bracq gave it a low wedge-shaped body, gullwing doors, pop-up headlights and covered rear wheels. The design was not merely decorative: the car explored occupant protection, aerodynamics and a driver-focused cockpit.

The prototype used a modified BMW 2002 chassis and a mid-mounted 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Its advanced features included impact-absorbing sections, radar-based distance monitoring and seat belts linked to the ignition system. Only two examples were built.

The BMW Turbo never entered production, but its styling strongly influenced later BMW design and helped point toward the BMW M1, introduced in 1978. The alternative names in the quiz are associated with other influential designers, but none created this BMW concept: Ercole Spada worked with Bertone, while Giorgetto Giugiaro and Marcello Gandini designed many notable Italian sports cars.
