HuuGo0 Posted May 30, 2024 Posted May 30, 2024 The German brand showed off this stylized two-seater sports car at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. No one can deny that in recent years the exterior aesthetics of new BMW models have been a bit controversial, especially with models like the M4 and the XM, which oversized the brand's famous kidney grille. After that, we have seen that the brand took a turn in its designs, especially in the front part, as happened with the M2 or the iX1 or iX2, but the concept car that they took to the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este , shouts from all sides that it is a BMW, classic, harmonious and very elegant. The German firm proposes in the Skytop a long two-seater sports car with a targa configuration, with sharp, very fluid lines and, above all, that give the sensation that the vehicle is in motion. As the canons of these sports cars dictate, the tip of the car marks the beginning of an ascending line, which ends at the tail of the vehicle, adding wide shoulders on the rear axle and a striking piece that supports the roll bar behind the seats (where there is also the medallion) giving the impression that the entire vehicle is sculpted in a single piece. BMW claims that the Z8 and 503 models were the inspiration for this concept car, which should undoubtedly reach the production line in a short time, since you only have to take a look at the cabin to realize that there are no distant elements to what that we can see today in the brand's vehicles, yes, all lined with an elegant red color where some small applications of piano black and aluminum contrast. The awning is made of two solid pieces upholstered in leather that are removed from the vehicle like a lid and the rear medallion can also be removed, both have a storage space in the trunk to have them on hand in case the sunny day changes on a rainy afternoon. Although the engine data is not specified, the brand only mentions that, like the Z8, this Skytop has the most powerful version of the V8 engine that BMW has available today, which means that, without going to an M model, We are talking about the 4.4-liter twin-turbo eight-cylinder engine that generates 530 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. Perhaps the Skytop as such will not reach the production line, but we are sure that it anticipates a new BMW sports car, a car that, like the Z8, will become coveted and cult.
