In the world of luxury cars, exclusivity often drives demand. Collectors and enthusiasts scramble to secure models that promise not just performance, but rarity.
This phenomenon is on full display with BMW’s latest creation, the Skytop Roadster.
The car has sold out before even entering production, underscoring the allure of owning a piece of automotive art that few will ever see, let alone drive.
A Dream Come true
The Skytop Roadster, first introduced as a concept at the 2024 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, is set to be produced in an exceptionally limited run of just 50 units.
Despite no official price announcement or production model reveal, all 50 vehicles have already been sold.
BMW’s silence on pricing hasn’t deterred buyers, many of whom likely recall the brand’s previous exclusive release, the 3.0 CSL.
That model, launched in 2022, was similarly limited to 50 units. Priced at €750,000 (roughly $800,000), it quickly became a prized collector’s item. Some were later resold for over $1.3 million.
Given this precedent, the Skytop Roadster is expected to follow a similar path, with demand far exceeding supply.
Adrian van Hooydonk, BMW Group’s head of design, expressed his excitement about the project.
“The Skytop Roadster represents a dream come true. It combines driving dynamics and elegance at the highest level,” he said.
He also thanked the global community for their overwhelming response to the project.
Specific details about the car remain scarce. However, its targa-inspired design and the prestige surrounding the concept model have already made it a standout in BMW’s portfolio.
With only 50 ever to be made, the Skytop Roadster is more than a car — it’s a statement.
