Singapore. BMW Asia brings strategy, vision and ambition to life at the Singapore Motorshow 2026, with the showcase of the BMW Skytop and BMW Vision Neue Klasse X. Both vehicles, along with a wide range of BMW models, curated F&B options, a selection of the latest BMW lifestyle items, and more, can be experienced from 8-11 January 2026 at the BMW Group Pavilion at Suntec City Convention Centre (Level 4, Booth 4215 and 4216).
“This year's showcase offers visitors an opportunity to see emotion and luxury come together in the BMW Skytop, a limited-run small-series model with only 50 units available worldwide,” said Lars Nielsen, Managing Director, BMW Group Asia. “This model, made for enthusiasts and collectors, wraps the joy of driving in a timelessly elegant design and celebrates BMW’s iconic roadsters, such as the BMW 507 and BMW Z8.”
“In contrast, the BMW Vision Neue Klasse X is decisively looking forward,” continues Mr. Nielsen. “It represents the next chapter for BMW, showcasing the blueprint for future vehicles in terms of digitalization, electrification and sustainability while retaining the experience of sheer driving pleasure. While the all-new BMW iX3 is set to arrive on Singapore shores by mid-2026, we wanted customers to see where it all started from and understand the philosophy behind the vehicle that will kick-start a new era for BMW.”
BMW Skytop.
Initially shown in design study form as the BMW Concept Skytop at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2024 on the shores of Lake Como, Italy, the two-seater roadster sent waves of excitement through the assembled connoisseurs and automotive aficionados. This enthusiastic response prompted BMW to convert the concept into a strictly limited production run of 50 units. “The BMW Skytop is a truly exotic design and offers a combination of driving dynamics and elegance at the highest level,” said Adrian van Hooydonk, head of BMW Group Design.
The sculptural athleticism of its body is constructed from taut, muscular surfaces defined by a few precise lines, the BMW Skytop emitting a powerful sense of dynamism before it even turns a wheel. The pronounced arrow shape of the bonnet, evocative BMW shark-nose design and tightening tail are all carefully chosen references to the BMW Z8.
Just like its legendary roadster ancestor, the BMW Skytop takes to the road with the most powerful V8 in the brand’s armoury. The 4.4-litre petrol unit generates maximum output of 460 kW/625 hp and teams up with an eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission. Maximising traction is the BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system, which distributes the engine’s power between all four wheels as required, and optimises stability and driving dynamics in any situation. With this drive configuration in place, the handsome two-door will sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in around 3.3 seconds.

BMW Vision Neue Klasse X.
BMW introduced several "Vision" concept cars over the past five years that showcase the brand's future direction in circularity, digitalization, and electrification. The BMW i Vision Circular, unveiled at IAA Mobility 2021, was designed entirely around the principles of a circular economy. It was made from 100% recycled and recyclable materials and emphasized sustainability throughout its entire lifecycle.
At CES 2023, BMW showcased BMW i Vision Dee, which stands for stands for Digital Emotional Experience. This futuristic midsize sedan demonstrated the potential for an intense relationship between humans and cars through advanced digital features. At IAA Mobility 2023, the BMW Vision Neue Klasse debuted, providing a concrete look at the next generation of BMW's core electric models. It introduced a new, reduced design language, the sixth-generation eDrive system for improved range and charging speed, and the revolutionary BMW Panoramic Vision display technology.
The final Vision concept car, the BMW Vision Neue Klasse X, debuted on the rooftop of the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California in April 2024. It is this vision vehicle that transfers the Neue Klasse philosophy and technology to the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) segment, giving customers a glimpse at what future BMW X models, like the all-electric iX3, will look like.
