Racing homologation has given us some of the greatest cars of all-time. Here is one of them, the BMW 3.0 CSL.

Up front there was a large air dam and fins running along the fenders. In the rear was the famous ‘Batmobile’ wing that actually came from the factory uninstalled, stored in the trunk since driving with it on public roads was a big no-no. But did that stop people from mounting it themselves? Thankfully not.
