BMW Concept Speedtop: Design
With a silhouette that harks back to the legendary Z3 M Coupe—affectionately dubbed the “clown shoe”—and elements from the Z4 coupe concept, the Speedtop blends modern aggression with nostalgic charm. Its three-door shooting-brake design gives it a distinctive stance, exuding elegance and athleticism in equal measure.
The body is finished in a custom ‘Floating Sunstone’ gradient, a mix of silver and maroon that changes color with the light. The custom coating is highlighted by the two-tone, 14-spoke alloy wheels made for this concept. While last year’s Skytop had a warm brown interior, the Speedtop goes with a white leather colour scheme for a touch of class and contrast throughout the cabin and luggage sections.
BMW Concept Speedtop: Features
The Speedtop’s interior represents artisanal luxury. For the interior of the Speedtop, BMW has collaborated with highly regarded Italian leather artisans Schedoni, to develop custom, hand stitched travel cases that are consistent with the car’s design aesthetics. These custom travel cases fit conveniently into leather strapped compartments located behind the front seats, making the Speedtop functional—as well as fantastic— for extended journeys.

The rear cargo space is divided into two parts, giving ample room for larger travel luggage. To further improve the cabin atmosphere, an ambient light strip has been incorporated into the cargo space—combining practicality and a touch of occasion.
BMW Concept Speedtop: Specifications
Beneath its sculpted hood, the Speedtop has some serious power to offer. Sharing its mechanical DNA with the BMW M8 Competition, it is powered by a 4.4-litre turbocharged V8 engine as stated with an imposing 460kW of power and 750Nm of torque. It’s the most powerful non-electrified V8 in BMW’s extensive lineup, with which we imagine will guarantee performance to match its exotic looks.
While prices remain confidential, it is believed the Speedtop’s price will well exceed the Skytop convertible’s price of more than $570,000. Due to its rarity and ultra-custom, the Speedtop will likely become a collector’s jewel in private collections internationally.
