HOMMAGE BURKARD BOVENSIEPEN

Burkard Bovensiepen always had a passion for fast automobiles.

Large Coupés in particular were an indispensable part of the ALPINA model line-up for him. The BMW ALPINA B8 GT joins an ancestral line that has always offered exceptional driving performance. In continuing this tradition, we created the BMW ALPINA B8 GT. It embodies our passion for automotive masterpieces and combines unmistakable elegance with impressive driving performance.

EDITION HIGHLIGHTS

CARBON

Design has always played a central role for Burkard Bovensiepen. According to the principle of "form follows function", everything was refined and perfected down to the smallest detail. Design drafts were often revised several times in order to fulfil the high demands. The BMW ALPINA B8 GT was developed according to this proven concept and combines sporty dynamics with the elegance of a luxury vehicle. The new carbon elements on the exterior are a perfect example. The air ducts in the front apron, the side dive planes, the AirBreather trims and the newly designed and more pronounced diffusor are finished in carbon fibre. They emphasise the sporty side of the B8 GT without detracting from the elegant appearance of a Gran Turismo.

WHEELS & BRAKES

The 21'' ALPINA CLASSIC forged wheels are finished in Aluminium Satin. They are high-gloss compacted in an elaborate process, resulting in a deep-gloss, mirror-like surface. After this procedure the wheels are additionally sealed with a matt clear coat. This combination of high-gloss compaction and matt clear lacquer gives the wheels a unique look appearance that is both striking and very elegant. The wheel cover is milled from a solid piece of aluminium and embodies the attention to detail that makes every ALPINA an unmistakable automobile. The ALPINA high-performance brake system ensures excellent deceleration values with its multi-piece, perforated brake discs and high-grade brake pads.

DRIVETRAIN AND CHASSIS

An optimised transfer case ensures a more rear-biased distribution of torque. Together with revised software for the electronic differential lock, this results in noticeably more agile driving dynamics. The suspension set-up has also been further honed in numerous test kilometres and multiple development hours. A dome-bulkhead-strut reinforces the front end and improves both steering response and precision. The differentiation between the driving modes in the B8 GT can now be experienced even more clearly: thanks to the increased precision, high-speed stability has been further improved, while long-distance comfort is maximised thanks to reduced body movement.

V8-SOUNDTRACK

In combination with the powerful engine, the ALPINA sports exhaust system produces a racy eight-cylinder sound. A new centre silencer configuration provides a nuanced, sportive sound. The characteristic twin tailpipes of the exhaust system are finished in elegant black.

The 4.4 litre V8 Bi-Turbo in the BMW ALPINA B8 GT has no technical similarities with the 4-cylinder (so called “A Engine” type) from the early days of ALPINA. Twice the number of cylinders, almost three times the displacement and over seven times the power. Nevertheless, both are still known for their smooth running characteristics and superior power delivery

THE ALPINA GENES

The BMW ALPINA B8 GT is equipped with the latest version of the V8 Bi-Turbo as last applied in the BMW ALPINA B5 GT. It provides 466 kW (634 hp) and a maximum torque of 850 Nm, making it the most powerful engine in ALPINA’s history!

The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is achieved in just 3.3 seconds, and the 200 km/h mark is reached in just 10.5 seconds. The continuous, sustained acceleration thrust above 200 km/h is simply impressive. Thanks to the aforementioned technical changes, the B8 GT can now reach a top speed of 330 km/h. Therefore, it is definitely one of the fastest of its kind again.

PLAYFUL COLOURS

In addition to the classic traditional colours ALPINA Blue (standard) and ALPINA Green II (standard), the BMW ALPINA B8 GT is available in the following five specially selected special paint finishes: Arctic Race Blue, Verdant Green Pearl, Purple Silk, Enigmatic Black or Crystal Casserit Black. The traditional exterior trim stripes, known as the ALPINA Deco-Set, are available in the colour Carbon Metallic – offering a wide range of design options.

Exclusive and limited to 20 units: The BMW ALPINA B8 GT is available in an elegant bi-colour paintwork. There are two colour combinations to choose from, in which either ALPINA Blue or ALPINA Green II is combined with Black Sapphire.

DISCREET

The subtle B8 GT lettering on the B-pillars seamlessly completes the design.

NOBLE

The ALPINA Walnut Anthracite trim, featuring a metal insert with Burkard Bovensiepen’s signature, is standard in every B8 GT interior.

LUXURIOUS

Exclusive details such as the the all-aluminium shift paddles finished in silver underline the luxurious character of the B8 GT.

ELEGANT

The exclusive door sill trims for the B8 GT, featuring Burkard Bovensiepen’s signature, perfectly complement its limited-edition design.

EDITION ACCESSORIES

Each vehicle comes with two exclusive weekender bags. Made from the finest black LAVALINA leather, the elegant design is stylishly complemented by accents in blue: a blue zip with embossed ALPINA lettering, finely embroidered ALPINA lettering on both sides of the bag and a blue inner lining featuring the ALPINA word mark woven into the fabric tone-on-tone.

Each weekender comes with a high-quality stainless steel plaque bearing the engraved signature of Burkard Bovensiepen and the serial number of the vehicle. This badge can also be found in the delivery box, which is made of fine wood. This offers space for the vehicle key and a B8 GT key tag.

A special highlight of the B8 GT delivery scope is an exclusive chronograph that was developed in collaboration with the renowned Swiss watch and jewellery expert Carl F. Bucherer. Based on the renowned Manero Flyback model, this timepiece has been visually and technically refined in the style of Burkard Bovensiepen.

The BMW ALPINA B8 GT comes as standard with exclusive full leather upholstery available in four variants, combining high-quality Merino leather with Alcantara seat centre panels.

UPHOLSTERY

The design is rounded off by perfectly coordinated colour accents, striking contrast stitching and the embroidered Burkard Bovensiepen signature in the upper section of the front seat backrests. The full leather upholstery is complemented by leather seat trims and steering column trim. The standard Alcantara headlining seamlessly complements the upholstery, creating an elegant atmosphere inside the cabin.

Customers also have the opportunity to take advantage of the exclusive offer from the in-house ALPINA leather workshop. Here they can individually configure a customised full leather interior made from the finest, naturally tanned LAVALINA leather. Each interior is masterfully handcrafted to make your B8 GT a unique one-off.
