Imola Red E39 M5

December 22nd, 2009

This is a gorgeous picture of an Imola red or Chiaretto red E39 M5 in a wind tunnel test. It’s hard to tell from the artificial lighting. The whole car occupies the frame and shows off the car’s beautiful exterior.

The white neon line on top of the car is actually as smoke line showcasing the aerodynamics of this sedan and the geometric design in the background arrest the viewer’s eye and emphasizes the vehicle’s form. And the man shown on sitting on the side seems to be a sentinel that watches over the precious car – when in fact he’s probably an aerodynamics scientist, since he’s one holding the smoke wand .

I also like the reflections on the floor. It reminds me of the glitter of an aircraft hangar.

This picture from Topspeed.com, which highlights the E39 M5′s exterior design and wheels . It seems to say that it can be a beauty even if it is the “Beast”.
