The 1975 BMW #93 Hervé Poulain 3.0 CSL - abbreviated as "#93 BMW CSL" - is a Group 2 touring car by BMW.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 6.
Synopsis[]
Built for Group 2 touring car regulations as the replacement for the 2002 and the 2800 CS, the 3.0 CSL would compete in a wide variety of touring series series throughout the world, including the IMSA GT Championship, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC). Compared to its predecessors, the CSL was able to use a much larger engine due to competing in the unlimited over three liter category, with the car eventually ending up with a 3.5L I6 producing almost 450 hp (336 kW).[1]
The #93 competed at the 1975 edition of Le Mans in the Special Touring (TS) Class. Privately entered by one of its drivers, Hervé Poulain, the other two drivers in the car would be Jean Guichet and Sam Posey. The car would do well in qualifying, ending up 11th overall and on pole position in class. Unfortunately, it would only make it just over a third of the way through the race before retiring due to a broken CV joint. In a somewhat ironic turn of events, the eventual winner (and only finisher) for the TS class would be one of the CSL's predecessors, a 2002 modified with a Formula 2 engine.[2]
