In the recent history of BMW, there are two very original coupes that have left their mark on the world of the "passion car". Two coupes that, mainly in their M versions, were unanimous, both with critics and in the hearts of the public. Slender, agile and perfectly balanced, we can say that these pretty little machines were close to perfection. It's been 15 years since the last Z4 Coupe rolled off the assembly line. And the one you have before you illustrates how much the automotive world has changed in these 15 years.

Villa d'Este, named after a charming town located on the shores of Lake Como (Italy), is one of the most prestigious Concours d'Elegance in the world. As the "main sponsor" of the event, BMW makes it a point of honor to come every year with a work that will ensure the show. This year, it was this Concept Touring Coupe, a vision of what could be a coupe version of the current Z4. Far from being a simple model, this concept is realized with the greatest care, and presents an interior treated in the spirit of the most beautiful GT in history. It is truly a unique car, and it will remain so. Because if such a model once had a certain commercial potential, this is no longer the case today, in the era of the SUV and forced electrification.

Although... Just before putting this news online, we learn that the designer of the brand, the Dutchman Adrian Van Hooydonck, would try to convince his management to produce 50 copies of his work. To be continued.
