It is difficult to believe that a year has passed since BMW revealed the concept of Skytop. The M8 headquarters is still officially presented as a form of production, but if we judge through a new spy video, it is possible that the detection is just around the corner. The first global offer should be imminent because the company did not even care about camouflage this initial model. How do we know that this is the ready -to -produce car? Regardless of the clear license board, it also contains parking sensors.
We use “production” loosely, as BMW makes only 50 cars. All of them were spoken short of the concept appeared in May 2024 at the Concorso d’Eganza villa d’enste. This initial model seems to be a carbon version of the show, which was praised by the Z8 and 503. It was monitored without a roof, but we know that Skytop includes two leather wrapped plates. Targa top manually and can be stored in a dedicated stem chamber.
This will be the first BMW production model to exchange traditional door handles that are operating electricly. Designers cleaned the profile by putting the wings in the shoulders of the doors, and they were strictly incurred in the belt line. The recently monitored initial models of the next generation X5 (G65) and X7 (G67) indicate that the same setting comes to those models as well, including the rear doors.
Skytop may be the M8 that has been restarted, but this does not prevent it from being great. Is the demand price worth 500,000 euros? Well, if 50 buyers are ready to pay this very much, BMW clearly made the right call. The same can be said about her previous project Coachbuilt, 3.0 CSL. The M4 CS -based coupe was more protected, at 750,000 euros unconfirmed.
Skytop is likely to be Swan for 8 Series. The gradual disposal of some versions of 8ER will be eliminated this year, as the remaining models are scheduled to end in 2026 Bmwblog Previously reported, there are no immediate plans for the third generation. The 8 Gran Coupe series may return as EV, but for the time being, nothing has been confirmed.
We may just be a few days away from seeing Skytop ready for production. Concorso d’Eganza Villa d’Este 2025, which will be held next week, is a major place to reveal. BMW has disturbed the appearance of a new car and a new car, and perhaps M2 CS.
