CARS CARS The BMW Concept Speedtop is a sentimental collectible

The BMW Concept Speedtop combines classic luxury features, precision workmanship, and shooting brake design to provide a one-of-a-kind experience. This highly limited small-series manufacturing builds on BMW’s sporty Touring history and provides a personalized experience for all senses, making pure driving enjoyment absolutely apparent.

The iconic Concorso d’Eleganza at the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este on Lake Como is a yearly gathering of the most outstanding and beautiful automobiles, allowing visitors to feel the fascination of mobility from all angles. The event is a vehicle enthusiast’s dream as well as an aesthete’s feast due to its unique location and environment.

The ideal setting for a world premiere: The BMW Concept Speedtop, with its remarkable flexibility and unusual proportions in the shape of an energetic shooting brake, builds on BMW’s iconic Touring classics. It is a classic emblem of freedom on four wheels and happy travel for two, beautifully displayed in a location that appears to be designed for exclusive times.

The BMW Concept Speedtop is a masterpiece of automotive craftsmanship that has been created for special moments. These come to life thanks to that particular attention to detail—as it can be experienced in the estate of the Villa d‘Este. Its location, the landscape gardening with its thoughtful incorporation of the seasons, as well as the attentive service that is always perceptive to individual wishes, creates the perfect scenery. A stylish and well-tempered drink, a dress handkerchief perfectly matching a tailored suit, or finely seasoned culinary compositions complement this experience of perfection.

The sparkling brown exterior paintwork in “Floating Sunstone Maroon” carries over into the interior. Here, the brown “Sundown Maroon” world blends harmoniously with the light “Moonstone White” of the seats. The two-tone leather trim forms a visual distinction between the dynamic and the functional parts of the interior.

The distinctive exterior roof spline is mirrored in the interior as a light gap in the headlining finished in two-tone leather, which also serves as indirect atmospheric lighting. The luggage compartment is also finished in leather perforated in Budapest style. A light gap illuminates the luggage compartment, which can also be used to carry larger luggage items for longer trips thanks to its division. The elaborate craftsmanship of the exterior and interior has been achieved relying on the expertise of the manufacturing workshop at the BMW Group plant in Dingolfing.

A car as a mobile sculpture and a collector’s object packed with emotion: The BMW Concept Speedtop builds on the history of global debuts at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, inspiring a yearning for driving enjoyment. At the same time, this design study serves as an invitation to dream, since it will be made in a strictly restricted, unique small number of 70 units. In this approach, BMW demonstrates that a desire for pure driving pleasure will be crucial in the future.
