Inside, other marks of exclusivity include the one-of-a-kind Alpina Walnut Anthracite interior trim, an engraved iDrive controller and standard glass controls. Alpina logos are scattered throughout the cabin for that extra touch of style, beginning with illuminated lettering on the door step.
And not only is the driver rooted in luxury when it comes to the interior, but so are the passengers. They can relax in a curated atmosphere, complete with standard rear heated seats, power rear sunshade and Alcantara Headliner.
Power personified!
Under hood of the B8 is the same twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 engine that is found in the M850i and the M8 models. For the Alpina, it makes an astonishing 612 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, which puts its output much higher than the 523-hp M850i and just under the 617-hp M8 with its competition package. Also, thanks to the Alpina’s different exhaust system, a more distinctive soundtrack is realized.
Suspension is agile and steering precise with the B8. This vehicle will truly sharpen all your senses! Engineers have done a brilliant job — the final result is a real dream car that follows footprint of 8 series.
Standard on the Alpina is an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The B8 is expected to get to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds, with an impressive top speed of 201 mph.
Equipped with finely calibrated Alpina brakes, the new B8 stops on a dime.
But with power and exclusivity comes cost, with the B8 coming in at a starting price of $140,895. Compared to the 2022 M8 Competition Gran Coupe, it is nearly $9,000 more costly.
Simply put — a truly high performance drive is found here. The B8 is a real classic in the luxury performance segment.
And, not to be overlooked, this vehicle results in explosive acceleration at all times.
In fact, no technical detail has been left untouched to achieve this power.
