Design
MR25 Falkorwears the flowing, timeless lines of the E9 coupé in bright Mythic White, accented with gleaming chrome. Inside, a custom mint green suede upholstery sets a tone of freshness and refined boldness. Every element has been bespoke-designed: fine stitching, deep carpets, wood accents, reimagined switchgear… together creating an interior both luminous and luxurious.

Beneath the sculpted body lies a new heart: a 6-cylinder engine from the BMW M5 E34, delivering 315 hp for smooth, spirited, and responsive driving. The entire mechanical package has been upgraded to ensure modern reliability and GT-worthy handling. With generous torque, a precise manual gearbox, tuned suspension and finely filtered feedback, the driving experience strikes the perfect balance between comfort and excitement. Falkor glides over asphalt with rare fluidity — suspended between heritage and modernity. A restomod vision by Machine Revival, where every bend becomes a promise of pleasure.
