The team from CarSpyMedia catch the BMW Skytop Prototype being tested at the Nürburgring.

Certainly sounds very nice!

8 series Spyder?

[OneTwo3]

$500k seems ridiculous.

[snareman]

It has the potential to be a decent looking car, but not for $500,000

[TractionControlDelete]

Is it a 8 series convertible replacement?

Edit: Had to look it up… https://www.bmw.com/en/freude/bmw-concept-skytop.html

[GOLFFRR]

500!

[monkeyman8]

500K, no thank you. I'm sure it will do well enough if limited run.

[WedgeSalad]

I wonder if the high prize is due to crash testing and not just limited run parts

[ledphut]

Let’s hope this halo version is the sign of a derivative SL Mercedes fighter.

Its hand built. And on top of that: they know a handful of wealthy people will pay about anything to get their hands on one. As it is basically a 8 series, crash testing may not even be necessary.

If I remember correctly only 50 are slated for production, and they're all spoken for.

Yep. No one cares what we think about it.

[///M TOWN]

SKYFLOP…

[TXSTYLE]

Seems kinda steep for a rebaged 8.... 😬

[MDM]

Why are they spending the time and money on chassis that is already proven? You spend the money on this but wont build a true sports car that show cases BMW Ms ability.

...Good Luck BMW! I mean, why not,...you're already @ $130k to $150k for an M5,...nearly $100k for an M3! So, may as well reach for $500k.

Looks like the old 6 series front end with the 2 door Jaguar rear end.
Good Job !, lol.

[tturedraider]

It looks like it has an actual dashboard with an instrument binnacle and physical controls. I guess folks who are willing to spend a half million dollars want something physical to touch and not a bunch of crap on a screen where you have to get your finger in just the right spot as you are moving down the less-than-smooth-as-glass road at 80+ mph.

[gsanto]

First spy shot that really exposes the neue klasse design. Looks pretty good.

[ArkanDune]

For those saying that the price of 500000 is insane, I don’t necessarily disagree, but at the same time all 50 of them have already been bought in the moment they were available to the buyers

BMW clearly doesn't care what we think about current design trends. I have no idea how their sales numbers are actually going up.

They're playing 4D chess bro...
