BMW unveils concept speedtop in lake como

The BMW Concept Speedtop debuts at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Lake Como, Italy, with its moonstone white seats. Inside the concept car, it’s a two-tone world. First, the Moonstone White for the chairs. Then, the Sundown Maroon for the rest: the steering wheel, the dashboard, and even the central console. This shade of maroon extends to the outside. It’s not per se the same shade because it’s glossy, rightfully named Floating Sunstone Maroon. This is BMW’s way to connect the inside and the outside for the Concept Speedtop unveiled in Lake Como. The exterior’s roof spline, or the line that runs along the top of the ceiling, is the same design inside the vehicle.

But in the cabin, that spline appears as a beam of light. When passengers look up, they see a light strip running through the center of the roof, the very same curved design seen on the outside. It’s another attempt by the design team to link the interior with the exterior. In the trunk, the two-tone color continues. It is covered in leather, and there’s underlighting hidden to illuminate the entire luggage compartment. There’s a trick here: the trunk is divided into two sections. For more space, users have to pull up the first layer, and there, they see extra storage for more items and multi-day tours. This is the brainchild of the BMW Group plant team in Dingolfing.

Vehicle with made-to-measure duffel bags

There are two more storage areas with leather straps behind the seats. Here, the users find a small token from the car company. They’re two pieces of made-to-measure duffel bags from the brand Schedoni. The Italian manufacturer is also responsible for the leather materials throughout the BMW Concept Speedtop unveiled in Lake Como. Because the bags are tailored to the car, their colors also match the interior’s shades. Coming out of the vehicle, the front end has a pronounced V shape with its shark-nose design, slim front lights, and illuminated kidney grille.

The vehicle features an athletic design too, thanks to its broad shoulders and 14-spoke wheels. The company says that the BMW Concept Speedtop unveiled in Lake Como is reminiscent of the sporty tourers. It’s more ideal for two people, who want to leave the city for the weekend. Specs fans may appreciate that the V8 engine installed in the vehicle, one that’s currently offered by the company. At the present time, only 70 units of the car will come out after the event. It’s 20 more models after the reveal of the BMW Concept Skytop in 2024 with 50 units.
