Design cues from Z8

The BMW Group describes its Concept Skytop design study as resembling “a meticulously crafted vehicle sculpture with a flowing, sporty elegance that complements its athletic stance”.

The open two-seater’s interior and exterior feature monochromatic colours, with its winglets discreetly integrated into the door shoulders as replacements for conventional handles.

Light-alloy wheels with precise lamellas enhance its appearance. From a bird’s eye perspective, the sweeping bonnet, shark-nose design with illuminated kidney grille and retracted rear section catch the eye. 

References to the Z8 roadster were carefully chosen, while LED headlights positioned on milled aluminium carriers were custom developed for this concept.

The leather-finished roll-over bar behind the Skytop’s seats is combined with side fins on the b-pillar and a fully retractable rear window. The two removable roof parts can be stored in a special compartment in the luggage space.

There are also similarities in engine variants with the BMW Z8. This concept comes with the most powerful V8 in the marque’s drivetrain portfolio.
