The turbo versions of these cars were raced in both Europe and the U.S. The European turbo cars had 1.5-liter engines while the U.S. version had 2.0-liter engines. The BMW-owned U.S. version of the 320 turbo, such as this example, was campaigned by Team McLaren and driven by David Hobbs to 7 wins in the IMSA Camel GT series in 1977 and 1978.
