BMW M Halo supercar confirmed for production

BMW M has officially committed to producing a new halo supercar, with brand executives confirming the news at Villa d’Este.

It follows a series of canceled projects, including the BMW i16 coupe and other rumored supercars that never made it past the prototype phase.

This time, however, BMW appears determined to see the project through.

Vice President Sylvia Neubauer outlined BMW’s new strategy of offering exclusive small-series vehicles, with the BMW Skytop leading the charge.

Now, BMW M aims to create a bespoke flagship model designed to reignite the excitement once sparked by the original M1.

BMW Skytop Success Sets the Stage

The announcement comes after the success of the BMW Skytop, a limited-production model first shown at the 2024 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este.

With only 50 units planned and a rumored $500,000 price tag, the Skytop proved there is strong demand for ultra-limited BMW M products.

Encouraged by this, BMW is set to introduce more exclusive models.

According to Neubauer, these special editions have a positive spillover effect, strengthening the overall desirability of the BMW M lineup.

BMW i16 Influence and Past Projects

Reports from earlier in the year suggested that BMW had been close to launching the BMW i16, a spiritual successor to the original BMW M1.

That project, nearly 95% complete, was ultimately shelved in favor of the controversial BMW XM SUV.

Other electric supercar concepts were also rumored but scrapped before reaching production stages.

Now, with a focus on limited-edition models, BMW M might finally realize the dream of offering a true halo supercar.

Spy shots of the Neue Klasse EV coupe prototype hint that bold designs and cutting-edge powertrains are in play.

What to expect from BMW M’s Halo model

Although specifics remain under wraps, Neubauer confirmed BMW is working internally on a ‘dream car’ that could rival icons like the Porsche 911.

She acknowledged that if BMW M takes on such a challenge, it must deliver a product that is ‘spot on,100 percent.’

Whether the final product is a plug-in hybrid, a fully electric supercar, or something entirely different, BMW M is aiming high.

With performance, exclusivity, and brand prestige at the heart of the project, this BMW M halo supercar could mark a new chapter for the automaker’s legendary M division.

BMW M’s confirmation of a new halo supercar signals an exciting new chapter for the brand’s performance future.

Whether it draws from the spirit of the BMW Skytop, the ambition of the BMW i16, or a completely new vision, BMW fans can look forward to a model that redefines what a modern M car can be.
