BMW has pulled off something off the walls recently. At the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Italy, they showcased the Concept Speedtop 2025, a limited-run car that is as vintage stylish as it is futuristic. Picture it as a shooting brake styled custom three-door coupe designed for unadulterated enjoyment rather than practicality.
Let’s unpack what makes the Speedtop so unique and share some love for U.S. fans who might be left heartbroken.
Exterior: Next-Gen Luxury Drenched In Nostalgia
If you stumbled upon this car parked, odds are you'd do a double take. The Speedtop certainly grabs attention with an attention grabbing long and low positioned body. BMW has incorporated designs from their older models with the shark-nose front grille and wide graphic-hood lines. But retro isn’t the only thing to appreciate; the car features a stunning color gradient of silver with maroon at the front. Not to mention those 14 spoke wheels, which were specially crafted. The lean proportion of the head lights and the tucked proportions suggest it’s rather exclusive. This is the very definition of the kind of car that looks fast even while parked.
BMW just did something wildly cool. At the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Italy, they rolled the covers off the Concept Speedtop 2025—a limited-run car that feels like a blend of vintage charm and futuristic flair. Think of it as a sleek, custom-crafted three-door shooting brake that’s made purely for fun, not for practicality.
Let’s break down what makes the Speedtop so special (and why U.S. fans might be a little heartbroken).
Interior: Two Seats, Unlimited Elegance
Step inside, and you’re greeted by a cabin that feels handcrafted—because it basically is. Instead of packing in four or five seats, BMW decided to keep things ultra-luxurious with just two plush leather seats and luggage compartments in the back. The interior has a dual-tone color scheme of deep maroon and soft white, with exquisite brogue-style stitching details on the leather. Even the roof gets attention, with an illuminated centerline that mirrors the exterior design. The luggage section is covered in premium Schedoni leather and looks more like a luxury travel case than a car trunk.
Performance: V8 Power, No Hybrid Distractions
Under the hood, BMW didn’t mess around. The Speedtop houses a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine, the same monster found in the BMW M8. It’s raw, loud, and unapologetically fast—delivering over 600 horsepower without any hybrid assist. This isn’t an EV. It’s not even a hybrid. It’s for those who still appreciate the rumble and growl of a powerful gas engine. And while BMW hasn’t shared exact performance numbers, it’s expected to go 0-60 in under 4 seconds. It’s all about celebrating driving in its purest form.

Price & Availability: Ultra-Rare, Ultra-Pricey
Let’s just get the bad news out of the way—the BMW Speedtop isn’t coming to the U.S.. Regulatory reasons mean this car won’t be available stateside, which is a real bummer for BMW fans here. But globally, only 70 units will be made, making it one of the most exclusive BMWs ever. As for price? While BMW hasn’t given an official number, industry insiders peg it around €500,000, which translates to roughly $540,000 USD. So yeah—it’s rare, it’s fast, and it’s definitely for collectors with deep pockets.
