One-of-a-kind BMW Concept Touring Coupé Revealed At The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este
One-of-a-kind BMW Concept Touring Coupé revealed at the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2023.
The one-off Shooting Brake Concept is based on a hardtop version of the current G29 Z4 Roadster.
Its functionality is a nod to the 1970s BMW 02 Series which featured “Touring” in their name to distinguish them from sedans.
Distinct features on the outside includes a long bonnet, streamlined roof contours and powerful rear section.
Its sporty elegance underlined by the elongated side window graphic with the Hofmeister kink and flared rear wheel arches.
German automaker, the BMW Group, on Friday unveiled a one-off BMW Concept Touring Coupé at the opening of the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2023.
“What dramatic debut at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este! The one-of-a-kind BMW Concept Touring Coupé pays tribute to the timeless fascination of the car”, BMW said in a statement.
Based on a hardtop version of the current G29 Z4 Roadster, the functionality of the shooting-brake concept is a nod to the BMW 02 Series model variants of the early 1970s, which featured “Touring” in their name to distinguish them from sedans.
BMW notes that the proportions and name of the hand-crafted one-of-a-kind BMW Concept are reminiscent of the BMW 328 Touring Coupé that won the Mille Miglia endurance race back in 1940.
“The BMW Concept Touring Coupé celebrates the original Sheer Driving Pleasure,” says Domagoj Dukec, head of BMW Design.
“A highly emotional vehicle like this shows that the passion for everything that goes into driving pleasure has been essential through the ages and will be for the future.”
Distinct features on the outside includes a long bonnet, streamlined roof contours and powerful rear section. The shooting Brake’s sporty elegance was underlined by the elongated side window graphic with the Hofmeister kink and flared rear wheel arches.
Inside, it features an exclusive bi-colour option from Italian leather workshop Poltrona Frau. The upper part has a dark brown tone which aids concentration while driving while the lower section has saddle brown designed to bring comfort and warmth into the interior.
