BMW loves exhibiting off new idea automobiles at Villa d’Este. The Lake Como, Italy concours occasion has been residence to a number of reveals for the model, and we suspect this 12 months shall be no completely different. BMW has launched teaser images that recommend this 12 months’s shock shall be a really angular taking pictures brake.
Essentially the most revealing picture, proven above, was printed on Monday to Instagram by head designer Adrian van Hooydonk.

BMW hasn’t stated what it has in retailer, clearly. However we are able to make some educated guesses. At first look this idea may appear similar to the Z4 taking pictures brake proven in 2023, although when evaluating the automobiles facet to facet, not one of the design cues or proportions match up. So it have to be one thing else.
Our greatest guess? This idea shall be a hardtop model of the BMW Skytop. The sharp rear lip and skinny taillights match up completely, as does the widely extensive stance. If we’re correct, which means the taking pictures brake ought to be primarily based on the M8, full with that automobile’s twin-turbo V-8 engine and all-wheel drive powertrain.
After all, it is unclear proper now whether or not BMW would put a Skytop taking pictures brake into manufacturing. The Z4 taking pictures brake appeared production-ready, however the firm determined towards a restricted collection for purchasers. The Skytop, alternatively, is getting a manufacturing run of fifty items. If there’s sufficient demand, maybe BMW will make a handful of examples for fortunate clients.
We cannot have to attend lengthy to seek out out. The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este kicks off on Friday, Could 23.
