Spy photographers have now caught the shooting brake undisguised and it looks virtually identical to the concept.<\/p>\n<p>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2026\/05\/bmw-speedtop-nurburgring-testing\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BMW Is Thrashing A $580K 8-Series Shooting Brake At The \u2018Ring For 70 Buyers Who Won\u2019t<\/a><\/p>\n<p> Starting up front, we can see a familiar front fascia with slender headlights and a prominent kidney grille. The latter incorporate bright surrounds and horizontal bars, which are echoed on the intakes.<\/p>\n<p>                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/arrow.png\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\"\/><br \/>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/arrow.png\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\"\/><\/p>\n<p>SH Proshots<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re joined by a distinctive hood and a rakish windscreen that flows into a gently sloping roof. We can also see a unique greenhouse, which has a metallic surround that incorporates a door pull. While this is largely d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu, the road-going Speedtop has been equipped with revised wheels. Of course, these could simply be temporary units or near-production wheels that aren\u2019t fully finished.<\/p>\n<p>Putting the wheels aside, we can see a lightly revised rear end that incorporates parking sensors as well as angular reflectors. The rear bumper also appears to have some slight tweaks around the license plate recess, but it\u2019s hard to be certain at this point.<\/p>\n<p>                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/arrow.png\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\"\/><br \/>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/arrow.png\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Baldauf<\/p>\n<p>Spy photographers didn\u2019t get a look inside, but the cabin should largely carryover from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/bmw-8-series\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">8-Series<\/a>. However, we can expect a higher level of craftsmanship as well as special touches such as a leather headliner and cargo area.<\/p>\n<p>When BMW introduced the concept last year, the company was coy on specifications. However, they confirmed it was \u201cfitted with the most powerful V8 engine\u201d currently offered by the automaker.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s vague, but the model should echo the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/10\/meet-the-worlds-first-customer-owned-bmw-skytop\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Skytop<\/a> which has a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 developing 616 hp (460 kW \/ 625 PS).
