They still haven\u2019t, but that\u2019s 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\u2019d have a hard time realizing it\u2019s an M8 underneath the skin. It still looks familiar, but for a different reason: last year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/05\/23\/bmw-concept-speedtop-vs-skytop-comparison\/\">Skytop<\/a> is now a wagon. Take a better look with our exclusive images.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re at the 2025 Concorso d\u2019Eleganza Villa d\u2019Este, where BMW allowed us to spend quality time with the Speedtop. The absence of parking sensors suggests we\u2019re looking at a concept, but the production version should be virtually identical. As with the Skytop, the shark nose is officially back, complete with a proportionally sized kidney grille and slender headlights. BMW carried over the sharp front fascia from the Skytop, but they changed everything else on the exterior.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-00.jpg\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-500443\" title=\"BMW CONCEPT SPEEDTOP PHOTOS 00\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-00-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW CONCEPT SPEEDTOP PHOTOS 00\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-00-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-00-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-00-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-00-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-00.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-500443\" title=\"BMW CONCEPT SPEEDTOP PHOTOS 00\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-00-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW CONCEPT SPEEDTOP PHOTOS 00\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-00-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-00-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-00-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-00-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-00.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The broad shoulders look even more imposing in person, giving the profile a commanding stance. BMW\u2019s new burgundy shade pops even more on a sunny day, though it was unfortunately overcast during our limited time with the car. Even so, the Speedtop is one of those cars that immediately stand out thanks to a fresh design, despite being based on a model introduced seven years ago.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-03.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-500440\" title=\"BMW CONCEPT SPEEDTOP PHOTOS 03\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-03-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW CONCEPT SPEEDTOP PHOTOS 03\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-03-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-03-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-03.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-500440\" title=\"BMW CONCEPT SPEEDTOP PHOTOS 03\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-03-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"BMW CONCEPT SPEEDTOP PHOTOS 03\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-03-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-03-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/bmw-concept-speedtop-photos-03.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At the rear, slim taillights and oval exhaust tips echo the Skytop, but now there\u2019s a large, gently curved tailgate. BMW enhanced the roof\u2019s generous length with a prominent spoiler, where the third brake light will likely be located on the production model. The road-going version might also gain a rear wiper, although it\u2019s too early to confirm. BMW is likely to retain these wheels, considering the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2025\/05\/17\/bmw-skytop-production-version-filmed-without-camouflage\/\">production-ready Skytop<\/a> was recently spotted with the same alloys as the concept. The designers also changed the wheel design for the Speedtop, and we\u2019ll likely never see these alloys on another car.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Only 70 in the World\u2014\u20ac500,000 Each! - BMW SPEEDTOP\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Oqy8o7qzlOo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>With production limited to 70 units, the Speedtop won\u2019t be as rare as the Skytop, of which BMW is building just 50 examples. Logic tells us we won\u2019t see much of either on the road. The reality is that wealthy collectors are unlikely to drive them as often as they would an M8. Given the rarity and steep price tags, the targa and wagon duo will remain rare sightings.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, some of the design magic will trickle down to regular production BMWs. The upcoming Neue Klasse lineup will feature cleaner, smoother surfaces, so there\u2019s hope for a return to form after years of controversial designs. Lest we forget, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2024\/09\/14\/first-bmw-models-new-design-team-2029\/\">BMW overhauled its design teams<\/a> last year. However, their influence won\u2019t be seen in production models until after 2029. Hopefully, sketches of the Skytop and Speedtop will serve as inspiration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not even in our wildest dreams would we have imagined that BMW would make an M8 Touring.
