In a grand display of automotive artistry at the 2025 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, BMW has revealed its latest design study, the Concept Speedtop—a sleek reinterpretation of the classic Touring model, blending the sporty flair of a shooting brake with refined proportions. The vehicle is set to enter production in a limited run of just 70 units, targeting collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
The Concept Speedtop draws immediate attention with its distinctive profile, where the front’s V-shaped shark-nose silhouette is complemented by narrow headlights and an illuminated kidney grille—classic hallmarks of BMW’s modern design language. A continuous central spline arcs from the bonnet over the roof and into the rear spoiler, creating a fluid, dynamic line that reinforces the model’s Touring identity. The car’s sweeping shape is enhanced by a roof colour gradient, shifting elegantly from “Floating Sunstone Maroon” to “Floating Sundown Silver”, while specially designed 14-spoke two-tone wheels add a note of restrained grandeur.
Inside, the Speedtop maintains BMW’s emphasis on luxury and craftsmanship. The cockpit showcases a meticulous attention to detail, with brogue-style perforations adorning the leather upholstery. The interior blends a rich “Sundown Maroon” brown with light “Moonstone White” seats, continuing the car’s external palette into the cabin. A two-tone leather headliner mirrors the central exterior spline, now transformed into a soft beam of ambient light. Every detail, down to the leather-lined boot compartment with its illuminated luggage area, signals bespoke tailoring.
Handcrafted expertise from BMW’s Dingolfing Manufactory division is evident throughout, and the collaboration with the Italian leather artisan Schedoni brings further elegance. Behind the seats, leather straps secure two specially designed bags, created exclusively by Schedoni to harmonise with the Speedtop’s colour and material themes. A matching weekend bag fits snugly in the luggage compartment, ensuring that style accompanies practicality.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Speedtop is powered by the most potent V8 engine in BMW’s current portfolio, ensuring the performance lives up to its commanding visual presence. The vehicle offers not only a visually compelling experience but one that promises driving exhilaration, underpinned by cutting-edge engineering.
The unveiling follows the success of last year’s BMW Concept Skytop, which garnered acclaim at the same prestigious venue and resulted in a production run of 50 units. Building on that momentum, BMW will now bring the Concept Speedtop to market with a strictly limited production series of 70 vehicles. Orders are now being accepted.
This new addition continues BMW’s commitment to fusing emotional design with advanced performance, offering an exclusive automotive experience tailored to connoisseurs of dynamic, high-luxury motoring.
