Bmw Alpina V8

Next year's BMW 7 Series facelift will mark the return of the ALPINA version with a twin-turbo, 4.4. The Alpina Roadster V8 was introduced in 2003 based on the BMW Z8. Following the Alpina tradition, the Roadster was a car more suited for grand touring than a racetrack due to modifications to improve the comfort of the car.

One of these main changes was the removal of the run flat tires in favor of standard tires. The V8 engine was tuned by Alpina in order to achieve greater torque delivery. The 2025 BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe is a five-passenger sedan equipped with a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine (612 hp, 590 lb-ft of torque), an eight.

The Alpina V8 Roadster, based on the iconic BMW Z8, has just rewritten the collector car record books in Japan. One of only 555 examples ever built, the rare two-seater sold for nearly half a million dollars at auction, proving old-school driver's cars still command serious money.

The 4.4 litre V8 engine with bi-turbo charging produces an impressive 457 kW (621 hp). The maximum torque of 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) is available from just 2000 rpm for vigorous power delivery at all times which translates directly into stunning performance: from a standing start, the BMW ALPINA B8 accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.

Based on the BMW 's four-door 8-Series Gran Coupe and limited to just 99 units, it outmuscles the M car thanks to the most powerful engine Alpina has ever built. BMW's Z8 is the kind of car that many wish BMW would build again. Two of those cars - a standard BMW Z8 and the Alpina version, called the BMW Alpina Roadster V8 - recently sold earlier this month at RM Sotheby's Miami auction.

Offered by two different owners, and both with under 23,000 miles, each car sold for exactly the same price: $229,600. Read the backstory on the Z8 and the.
