Compared to the M12, the engine, a 5 litre, 12 cylinder BMW unit was powered up from 300 to 350 hp through a development of the Alpina, while work on the body reduced its weight by100 kg. The Nazca M12 and C2 concepts were the fruits of a close collaboration with Italian design house Italdesign Giugiario, owned and driven by the equally famous styling artist Giorgetto Giugiaro.
