BMW recently unveiled the Concept Skytop, a limited-edition roadster designed to captivate enthusiasts with its unique style and exclusivity. The concept was introduced at the distinguished Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, an event known for showcasing elegant and progressive automotive designs. The Concept Skytop stands out with its sleek, minimalist design, harking back to a luxury M8 Convertible tailored for a Twenties-themed gala.
Adrian van Hooydonk, BMW Group’s design director, shared insights into the Concept Skytop during an interview with BMW Blog. Hooydonk, who leads a team of roughly 700 designers chargeable for BMW, Mini, Rolls-Royce vehicles, BMW motorcycles, and various industrial design projects, highlighted the automotive’s potential for limited production. Unlike lots of BMW’s concepts displayed at Villa d’Este, which often find yourself in the corporate’s studio or museum, the Skytop was developed with street-legal components, hinting at the potential for a production run.
Drawing from their experience with the 50-unit production of the 2023 3.0 CSL, BMW is considering an analogous limited run for the Skytop. Each unit could be priced around $500,000, significantly lower than the three.0 CSL.
