We’re witnessing the birth of a new automotive marque this weekend with the introduction of the Bovensiepen Zagato. Unveiled at the Fuori Concorso on the shores of Lake Como, in Italy; this sleek carbon-bodied GT car is based on the BMW M4 convertible and fuses German engineering with Italian style. If the name Bovensiepen doesn’t […]

While Miami, FL may thrive as a land of excess, particularly following a post-pandemic migration of nouveau riche residents, it’s not an ideal home for automotive enthusiasts. Sure, the scenery is gorgeous, and there is no shortage of exotics or ultra-luxury machines around, but unless a road network designed in the spirit of a spreadsheet

Back in the mid-to-late 1950s, when tailfins were all the rage in America, another popular format was proving to be immensely successful for automakers. The open-top V8 roadster. From the Thunderbird to the C1 Corvette, this was a formula that delivered thrill and prestige in equal measure. Even European automakers were riding this wave and

Although BMW is showcasing the Speedtop at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este as a concept, a production version will follow. The German luxury automaker is already taking orders for the M8-based shooting brake and plans to build 70 units.

The new BMW M2 CS is on its way. For decades, BMW’s legendary performance division has been defined by a single, unmistakable letter: M. From icons like the E30 M3 and the V10-powered E60 M5 to the track-focused M4 CSL, these M cars have set the benchmark for performance and everyday usability. Among the latest

A new BMW concept envisions a shooting brake. BMW drummed up lots of buzz and excitement at last year’s Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este by unveiling the Concept Skytop. With an open top design inspired by legendary al fresco BMW models like the 507 and the Z8, the stunning twin-turbo V8-powered two-seater received such a positive

Not even in our wildest dreams would we have imagined that BMW would make an M8 Touring. They still haven’t, but that’s only because the new Speedtop is even better. Essentially a two-door wagon version of the M8, this latest special project features an entirely different body. So much so that we’d have a hard

Everyone was disappointed when we broke the news that the Concept Touring Coupe would not go into production. Based on the Z4 M40i, the “clown shoe” revival had stunned the crowd at the 2023 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. Reports surfaced about a potential limited run for customers, but it never came to pass. All is
