BMW is bringing something spectacular to the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este this year. EngineThe new BMW concept Skytop uses the same 4.40-liter V8 engine that is in the M8 competition. The eight cylinders together push out 617 horsepower, so there is no lacking in the power department. This engine doesn’t just promise speed; it delivers it in spades. With twin turbochargers, power is available from the first second you push down on the accelerator. Concept art from BMW showing what the design process for the New BMW Concept Skytop was.
