You may recall that 2011 is the 75th anniversary of the original BMW 328, and in celebration of the milestone BMW is scheduling a number of events including the unveiling the new 328 Hommage Concept.
The concept is described as a modern interpretation of the 1930s-era 328, something--according to BMW, at least--that the designers of the original 328, Fritz Fiedler and Rudolf Schleicher, might have built in the present day using current technology.

Like the original, the design of the 328 Hommage pays special attention to lightweight construction and as such major parts of the concept are made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). Total curb weight is said to be just 1,720 pounds.
No powertrain details were revealed apart from there being a “powerful” 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine under the hood. We can imagine, however, that with the lightweight carbon fiber body and the same 335 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque twin-turbocharged mill from the 2011 BMW 1-Series M Coupe, this thing could be a rocket.

The 2011 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este turned out to be quite the surprise this year, with not only the unveiling of the BMW 328 Hommage taking place, but also the respective debuts of the stunning Aston Martin V12 Zagato and Ferrari Superamerica 45 on the shores of Lake Como as well.
