We've grown rather accustomed to seeing special-edition MV Agusta Brutales, but this is the first time that one has featured four wheels. MV Agusta and Citroën have teamed up to produce a two-door hatchback show car called the C2 1587 Brutale. The naming scheme and the color pallete are clearly inspired by what is arguably Italy's hottest naked bike, the MV Agusta 1078 RR Brutale. We're not clear on what other tie-in exists between the two vehicles beyond that, though. Featuring a 1.6 liter 16-valve engine with 125 hp, the C2 1587 Brutale's power output is nowhere near as impressive as its two-wheeled inspiration. We do like the interior, which features plenty of black leather and alcantara with red outlines and stitching. Ultimately, we feel that this is one mash-up that the world probably could have done without.

We are not the only ones who think that the MV Agusta Brutale is the most beautiful bike sans clothing, with the Italian press fawning all over the frenetic four-cylinder sportbike. While we've not been pleased with every take on improving the near-perfect looks of the Brutale, MV Agusta has started to offer some limited editions of the machine with new color and graphics schemes. MV has recently added the Wally Brutale 910 R to the already announced Brutale Hydrogen. This whole special edition series was started by the Italia edition, which was created to commemorate Italy's win in the last World Cup. There isn't much the Italian company can do to improve on the overall design of the Brutale, but having a few extra choices when it comes to what little clothing is draped over the bike is surely a good thing as far as we're concerned.
