BMW 328 Kamm Coupe and Winning Maserati from the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2010
At this year's edition of the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, BMW showed off a 328 Kamm Coupé replica that was built in-house by BMW Classic. The original model, named after the German aerodynamics pioneer Wunibald Kamm, disappeared without trace back in 1953.
If you follow the jump, you can check out two videos of the BMW racing car replica as well as general views from the event and shots from the Maserati A6GCS Spider Fura that won the "Best of Show" award.
The prestigious annual show was organized under the patronage of the BMW Group and was held on April 23-25.

Maserati GranCabrio video
The new Maserati GranCabrio video is very much the ‘beautiful people’ lifestyle video with not much focus on the car itself, apart from a good look at its interior. The GranCabrio is the open top version of the Maserati GranTurismo and has the same 4.7-litre V8 engine with 440 hp. It costs about 135,000 euros and could be considered one of the sexiest cars around.

Maserati GranTurismo MC Revealed
Maserati presents its GranTurismo MC, a GT4 European Cup racer based on the GranTurismo S road car that looks tame enough to take to the streets.
That may be the reason the car exists in the first place, since Maserati claims it chose to turn the GranTurismo S into a GT4 racer because it is the racing category closest to production vehicles. If so, then the numbers may not have to be overwhelming as the racer still looks like a road car but may just be wild enough to do well in the GT4 competition.
The GranTurismo MC comes with a 4.7 [...]

This video through an amazing use of shadows and macro close-up shots dazzles us with exactly that mood. Any self respecting car enthusiast who believes the GranTurismo is an unattractive car is either delusional or has another agenda. Enjoy the video. [...]
2009 Maserati Quattroporte Facelift

Maserati MC12 Pimped by Edo Competition
No stranger to tuning the MC12, Edo has already previously built custom versions of the Maserati supercar, including the MC12 Corsa. Packing 700hp-plus in every edition, the Edo MC12s are all at least 70hp ahead of the stock MC12 thanks to some tweaks borrowed from the Ferrari FXX.

A screaming performer from the factory, the Maserati MC12 is based on the same chassis as the Ferrari Enzo, though the MC12 is more luxurious, heavier and larger [...]
