The BMW Group is presenting the world premiere of its Concept Touring Coupé at the opening of the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2023 by Lake Como, Italy.

The closed two-seater was developed for one-off production by BMW designer Calvin Luk.

The BMW Design reimagined the traditional body shape of an elegant sports car, giving the vehicle a shooting brake concept. 

“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.”

The hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind BMW Concept Touring Coupé unites a body concept steeped in tradition. Its proportions and name are reminiscent of the BMW 328 Touring Coupé that won the Mille Miglia endurance race back in 1940. 

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. 

The styling of the signets on the rear and inside this unique vehicle was inspired by the model inscription of this historic predecessor. 

The BMW Concept Touring Coupé is powered by the brand's hallmark six-cylinder in-line engine, with performance characteristics and refinement that confirm its status as a symbol of pure, unadulterated Sheer Driving Pleasure.
