Springtime brings Europe’s most exclusive concours event, the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Italy, where BMW will be presenting an as of yet, unidentified number of new concept vehicles.
As the show’s main sponsor and co-organizer since 2005, the BMW Group has premiered a flurry of concept cars and motorcycles over the past decade, most of which were modern interpretations of the brand’s golden classics, but at this year’s event, it has a special reason to be even more active as the Bavarian company is celebrating its landmark centenary.
Munich won’t tell us yet what they’re planning to present for their 100th birthday on the shores of Lake Como from May 20 to 22, 2016, but we suspect that at least one of them will be a nod to the brand’s past.
If you could choose one of their classic models to be recreated as a retro-futuristic concept, which one would it be? Our votes would go to any of their shark-faced sedans, the E31 8-Series, E24 6-Series or the 2002 Coupe; how about yours?
While you think about it for a moment, we’ll tell you that the BMW Group will host a special exhibition at the show named “Hommage and Concept Vehicles” where it will present earlier Hommage Concepts from the BMW, MINI and BMW Motorrad brands side by side with their historic counterparts.
