Alright, I wasn’t expecting this, but BMW just showed off a new concept that blends old-school GT muscle with a modern shooting brake silhouette. And honestly? It might be one of the best-looking things they’ve sketched in a while.

The design feels like a spiritual successor to the Z8, but instead of going convertible, it has a sleek fixed roof and that stretched rear hatch design that screams European touring car. From what I can gather, it packs the same V8 you’d find in the M8, a 617-hp twin-turbo monster.

What's interesting is the direction BMW seems to be heading here. This isn’t an EV. This isn’t an SUV. This is a clean, powerful coupe with some serious retro flavor. It’s the kind of car you’d want for a weekend drive along the coast — something you’d actually be excited to start up.

So my question to fellow U.S. drivers is:

• Would you be into a shooting brake revival from BMW?
• Or do you think it’s just another pretty concept that’ll never make it to a dealership?

I feel like the U.S. market doesn't give wagons and shooting brakes enough love, but if this ever made it to production, I could see that changing. Curious where you all stand on this kind of design.
