The BMW HH is an open-wheel Formula 2 racing car produced between 1947 and 1950 by German automobile manufacturer BMW.

History

In 1947, following the creation of the Formula 2 racing category by the FIA, different BMW HH47, HH48, and HH49 versions of single-seaters were designed by Herman Holbein (former head of BMW's chassis development department).

They are equipped with the 2.0-liter 6-cylinder engine of 130 hp (97 kW), for a 200 km/h top speed, from the BMW 328 and piloted among others by German drivers Fritz Riess and Günther Bechem.
