Paul Bracq, a BMW designer of the E23 7 Series and BMW “Turbo” concept

From 1971 to 1974 Paul Braq was head of design at BMW. Paul Bracq (born December 13, 1933, Bordeaux, France) also worked for Citroën, Peugeot and Mercedes-Benz.

In 1970, Bracq was appointed design director of BMW, where he was responsible for the top-of-the-line E23 7 Series. His 1973 “Turbo” concept car won “Concept Car of the Year” by the Revue Automobile Suisse that year; the car repeated the feat in 1992 in the Bagatelle Concours d’Elegance.
