BMW unveils stunning and quite expensive Speedtop shooting brake concept

This might be the most beautiful and elegant concept car ever produced by BMW – the Concept Speedtop.

It is a wagon, or more precisely, a shooting brake with two seats, featuring classic BMW elements like the shark nose and a small kidney grille structure.

The BMW Concept Speedtop is actually built on the Skytop concept model, which was originally constructed on the M8 platform. It’s not surprising that both models share a very similar design approach.

However, unlike the Skytop, the Speedtop focuses primarily on practicality.

As you can see at the rear, it now offers ample cargo space to accommodate small items.

BMW showcases a color combination of Floating Sunstone Maroon that transitions to Floating Sundown Silver on the roof.

Meanwhile, the cabin is adorned with a two-tone leather finish of Sundown Maroon/Moonstone White, complemented by accents in Floating Sunstone Maroon in several areas.

Like the Skytop, the Speedtop is expected to be powered by a 4.4-liter V8 engine capable of generating up to 617 horsepower – making it BMW’s most powerful V8 engine ever produced.

It has been reported that only 70 units of the Speedtop will be produced, each expected to carry a price tag of £430,000 (approximately RM2.45 million).
