BMW is teasing a mysterious new concept car, and if you squint just right, it looks like it could be a Shooting Brake version of last year’s production-intent Skytop study. For now, the automaker has shared a few shadowy, cryptic shots on social media, offering just enough of a glimpse to spark some serious curiosity.
var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8”);
} else {
adpushup.triggerAd(“82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f”);
}
});
The shadowy photos focus on the rear end, revealing a dramatic roofline and a sculpted tail with ultra-slim LEDs. The curved rear fenders and the fin-shaped door handles match the ones from the BMW Skytop convertible, but the bodystyle is closer to a shooting brake.

BMW describes the model as “a unique blend of design, elegance, and precise craftsmanship”, hinting at a coachbuilt special. Note that the Skytop is based on the underpinnings of the BMW 8-Series, featuring a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 with 617 hp (625 PS) matching the M8 Competition.
Details are still thin, but we do know the new concept is expected to make its debut at the 2025 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, which takes place in Lake Como between May 24-26. So, if you’re planning a last-minute trip to Italy to see the unveiling, now might be a good time to book a flight.
The BMW Skytop debuted at the 2024 edition of the same event, going from concept to a limited production of 50 units in record time. Judging from the enthusiastic response to the original, we can assume that BMW will also want to put the exotic shooting brake in production, offering it at a spicy price tag.
