Jans Slapins is a 3D modeller who specialises in creating unique, highly detailed automotive prototypes like the futuristic BMW motorcycle you see here. His most recent creation was a Lamborghini rat rod that went on to become a viral sensation, going so far as to be featured on Top Gear and in car magazines around the world.
His latest design takes its queues from the BMW Motorrad back catalogue, with a 1200cc twin cylinder boxer engine capable of 115hp, invertered forks up front and a mono shock, single-sided swing arm at the rear. Jans wanted to reference modern fighter jet design, specifically stealth aircraft, whilst also keeping some warmer human touches – like the wooden fuel tank guards and diamond stitched leather seats.
