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.
