The iconic BMW M1 celebrated its 30th birthday last month and to mark this special occasion, the German car maker has reinterpreted this mid-engined classic with ultra modern styling cues.

The M1 concept - known as M1 Hommage - was unveiled at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa D’este over the weekend alongside the Maserati Quattroporte Bellagio Fastback and Bugatti Veyron Fbg Hermès and it proved to be the stand-out at the event. Blending retro and modern styling cues, the reincarnation of the M1 is aggressive as ever with its wide-body stance and profile.

While BMW executives stress that there are no production plans for the M1 concept, some of the design elements could very well make its way onto future models.

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words so feast your eyes on the following selection of images.
