BMW has revealed a concept car favouring style over technology, which will provide design cues for the German brand's next top-of-the-line vehicle.

The Concept 8 Series was revealed last week at classic auto fair Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, run annually by the BMW Group on the shores of Lake Como.

The concept car resurrects the manufacturer's high-end 8 Series, which was in production from 1989 to 1999. BMW expects to launch its new 8 Series Coupe based on the concept in 2018.
