BMW Nazca C2

Alpina-tuned evolution of Italdesign's BMW supercar.

A year after the Nazca M12, Italdesign presented the evolved Nazca C2, this time enlisting BMW tuner Alpina to rework the 5.0-litre V12. The reengineered M70 unit produced 350 hp, and the C2 shed around 100 kg versus the M12, pushing its top speed past 310 km/h. Like its predecessor it used carbon-fibre construction and a mid-mounted layout, remaining a pure design and engineering showcase.
