2006 BMW Concept Coupe Mille Miglia

Between 1927 and 1957, the Mille Miglia was one of the biggest automotive racing events. Considered by many European automobile enthusiasts as "the world's most beautiful race", the Mille Miglia was a 1000-mile (1600 km) jaunt through rural and costal Italy, along hills, valleys and cities. In its heyday, a win at the Mille Miglia had the same prestige as winning the 24 Heures Du Mans (24 Hours of Le Mans), the 12 Hours of Sebring. Today, things are a little different; the Mille Miglia is still run annually, but to an entirely different beat.
