BMW will show this gorgeous new 3.0 CSL Hommage at the 2015 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the genteel motor show on the shores of lake Como that BMW part-sponsors each year.

It's a jaw-dropping reinterpretation of the original 1970s sports coupe, one of the seminal BMW models tucked into Munich's back catalogue.

Is it too retro or a modernistic take on the CSL? Be sure to tell us in the comments below.

What do we know about the 3.0 CSL Hommage?

Not a great deal yet. Today's announcement is merely a warm-up teaser ahead of the full details at Villa d'Este on 23 May, with only a single restricted photograph issued. But it's plain to see this is a bespoke-styled two-door coupe, with wildly flared rear wheelarches blistered around huge wheels and bleeding into a pretty serious wraparound rear wing.

BMW has confirmed that the Hommage will be part-built from carbonfibre and says its 'rigorously pared-down interior renders its lightweight concept not only visible but tangible as well.' Quite.

This is the latest in a line of BMW 'Hommage' models created to celebrate the upmarket auto show in Italy. Back in 2008 it doffed its hat to its 1970s supercar with the M1 Hommage.

Sadly, that car never saw the light of day, although the Mini Superleggera shown at the 2014 Villa d'Este show is destined to enter production. Here's hoping that the new 3.0 CSL concept could see the light of day in some shape or other too.

McLaren P2 by Rakesh

The McLaren P2 is a concept created by Rakesh Bag , a Student of The Aditya Birla Public School , Veraval , Gujarat from INDIA The styling of the McLaren P2 is more attractive and less clinical than the McLaren P1 , but you can bet your entire worldly possessions on the fact every last millimetre of the bodywork has been extensivley analysed in the windtunnel. The front is unique and original, the way lower part of the bumper flows back into the ‘C’ shaped headlights is inspired. And the P2’s rear end has got to be one of the best in the business. Stunning. “the McLaren P1 and P2 will be the result of 50 years of racing and road car heritage. Twenty years ago we raised the supercar performance bar with the McLaren F1 and our goal with the McLaren P1 and P2 is to redefine it once again.” “Our aim is not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit,” adds McLaren Automotive Managing Director Anton...

Maserati Ghibli vs BMW 6 Series : Which Will You Buy?

When considering vehicles like Maserati Ghibli and the BWM 6 Series Gran Coupe, both reflect an effort toward blending dignified luxury with exhilarating performance. Though beholding vehicles of this caliber is always an exercise most fruitfully left to the natural eye, the image above serves as a simple example of each sedan’s inherent dignity. In lieu of experiencing each vehicle’s performance profile from behind the wheel, the table provided similarly works to demonstrate what both Ghibli and BMW’s 6 series have been engineered to accomplish.
