Quote:To celebrate the M1's 30th anniversary, BMW created the M1 Homage, which it unveiled at the Concorso d'Eleganza at Villa d'Este, a classic automobile show with a focus on design and beauty. Anyone who is familiar with the M1 will instantly recognize the Homage's heritage. With its 1970s wedgy profile, retro wheel design, louvered rear window and dual BMW emblems in the rear it is an M1 for the modern era. What it doesn't have are pop-up headlamps; instead, they are tucked away under the front lip of the hood. Up front, BMW's trademark twin kidney grille lets those unfamiliar with the original M1 know that this is indeed a BMW.

As the car is merely a styling exercise, no mention of its powertrain was made, nor does there appear to be an interior. So, is there any chance of production? Well, Audi has proven with the R8 that Porsche isn't the only German brand capable of wooing supercar buyers, so we'll have wait and see if BMW is content to let Ingolstadt get all the glory.
