【PCauto】As BMW's upcoming flagship model, the Skytop concept coupe has quickly become the focus with its extreme performance, handcrafted artistry, and exclusive limited production. This vehicle not only carries forward BMW's century-old tradition in automobile manufacturing, but also captivates the premium market with its distinctive design and strategic positioning.
Skytop is powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine delivering 617 horsepower, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that enables a 0-100km/h sprint in just 3.3 seconds. These performance figures place it firmly in the elite supercar league, perfectly meeting the demans for both daily drivability and track capability.
The design inspiration for Skytop stems from BMW's classic models 507 Roadster and Z8, with sharp and smooth body lines, ultra-thin LED headlights, glowing kidney grille, and 'world's slimmest' blade-style taillights. Its interior configuration combines deep burgundy leather with the legacy iDrive system, retaining physical buttons for enhanced usability while exuding vintage luxury. This design perfectly aligns with Southeast Asian market preferences for craftsmanship—such as Thai consumers' appreciation for meticulous design and Malaysian buyers' emotional connection to brand heritage.
Skytop is handcrafted at the Dingolfing factory in Germany. It took 15 months from concept to mass production, supporting highly personalized customization. The procution of Skytop was limited to 50 units worldwide, all of which have been sold out. Its scarcity further enhances its collection value.
On April 8, 2025, spy shots of Skytop's undergoing test at the Nurburgring track were exposed, verifying its high performance. Skytop plans to debut at the Shanghai Auto Show in China this year.
Skytop is one of the lowest-production models since the 2022 BMW 3.0 CSL, further consolidating BMW's position in the field of high-performance limited-edition vehicles. In the Southeast Asian market, with such vehicles, BMW has improved its brand image of "luxury paired with technology", meeting local buyers' demands for uniqueness and historical heritage.
The BMW Skytop prototype, focusing on performance, design and scarcity, has not only become a milestone in the global automotive industry, but also injected new energy into the high-end vehicle market in Southeast Asia. In emerging markets such as Thailand and Malaysia, the scarity of BMW Skytop and its customized services may trigger a new wave of high-end consumption, becoming an important link connecting brand tradition and future innovation.

Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?
Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.
Perodua Myvi and Bezza may undergo major upgrades in 2026
After the update, the Bezza will no longer be just a low-cost alternative but a core model in the Perodua system with greater market competitiveness and brand premium potential. The upgrade of the Myvi is not to be unconventional but to strengthen the brand and market, ensuring that the Myvi continues to maintain its irreplaceable position in the new round of product competition.
Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?
Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
Will the Toyota Yaris Cross come to Malaysia? If it comes, how much will it sell for?
The launch of Perodua Traz indicates that the market size of small SUVs in Malaysia has been expanding in recent years. However, the question naturally shifts back to Toyota. As a brand with the most comprehensive product line and a strong foundation in both the SUV and hybrid sectors, will Toyota choose the Yaris Cross to participate in this small SUV competition?
Why is the Toyota Sienna so popular with so many people?
In Malaysia, most family MPVs choose Toyota Alphard, Vellfire, or Kia Carnival. These models each have their advantages in luxury, space, or brand influence, but models that truly balance large space, multifunctional practicality, fuel efficiency, and reliability are rarely seen.
