BMW has confirmed the world debut of a new roadster concept that will preview the upcoming Z4 successor at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

The new concept will debut next to the beautiful 8 Series Concept that made its premiere a few months back at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este.

BMW won’t confirm that it’s the Z4 successor we’re talking about; instead it says that their new concept is previewing their new model that’s slated for 2018 and released a sketch last week that vaguely shows the profile of it.

As for the 8-Series Concept, it will also celebrate its North American premiere, giving customers a first taste of what to expect once the new 8-Series is launched in 2018.

“The BMW Concept 8 Series is our take on a full-blooded high-end driving machine,” says Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design. “It is a luxurious sports car which embodies both unadulterated dynamics and modern luxury like arguably no other. For me, it’s a slice of pure automotive fascination.”

The unveiling of the two concept cars will take place on Thursday, August 17th at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, so stay tuned.
