One year after launching the new 507 TS Roadster, BMW extended its model range with the introduction of a new coupe version.
Designed by Albrecht Goertz, the 507 TS was based on the BMW 503 but featured a shorter chassis and an entirely aluminium-hand-made bodywork. The coupe variant, like the convertible, was fitted with an aluminium alloy-made 3.2L V8 unit delivering up to 160 hp and a 4-speed manual transmission. Its on-road performance were also impressive, with the coupe reaching 0-60 mph in around 9 seconds and topping 140 mph. Both coupe and convertible versions of the 507 TS were discontinued in 1959 due to financial difficulties.
