New BMW Concept Speedtop: 70 units to be built

Meet the new BMW Concept Speedtop. Revealed at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2025 on the shores of Lake Como in Italy, this effectively coach-built 2-seater shooting brake has been confirmed for production, with 70 units set to be built.
The Speedtop appears very closely related to the Skytop – a 2-seater convertible likewise based on the apex version of the 8 Series – that was introduced at the same event in 2024. In the end, the Bavarian firm produced 50 examples of the Skytop.
According to BMW, the 3-door Speedtop – which Adrian van Hooydonk, Head of BMW Group Design, says is “characterised first of all by its profile” – will be produced in Dingolfing and “offered to collectors and connoisseurs”. Van Hooydonk believes the newcomer functions as “an exclamation mark for our entire lineup of vehicles, especially for the Touring models”.
The German automaker describes the new Speedtop’s front end as having a “shark-nose design”, complete with slim headlamps and an illuminated grille. A central spline runs from the bonnet over the roof to the rear spoiler, while the roof itself features an interesting colour gradient to accentuate this shape. The shooting brake rides on model-specific 2-tone, 14-spoke wheels.

BMW reveals sleek R10 million Speedtop, M2 CS design at Lake Como
BMW always puts on its Sunday best at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, at Lake Como, and this year's event saw the Bavarian company present a new limited production shooting brake as well as the final design of the upcoming M2.
The new BMW Concept Speedtop is the tin-top relative of the sexy Skytop Concept that was presented at the event last year, and it takes the form of a shooting break, with hints of the BMW M Coupe in its rear profile.
BMW is reportedly set to build around 70 examples of the Speetop, with a rumoured price tag of around R500,000, or R10.1 million in our currency.
The vehicle is based on the M8 Coupe, and with no specifications released we’re left to assume it’s powered by the same twin-turbo V8 that thunders out 460kW and 750Nm.
The Speedtop boasts unique exterior metal, setting itself apart with broad shoulders, shark-nose front end design, slim front lights and a central spine that runs from the bonnet, over the roof.
The colour gradient on the roof moves from “Floating Sunstone Maroon” to “Floating Sundown Silver”. Also sporting dual tones are the 14-spoke alloy wheels designed specifically for this car.
