About the Alpina B8 Gran Coupe G16
Launched in 2021 as the flagship of the Alpina range, the B8 Gran Coupé is a masterclass in understated high-performance luxury. Based on the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupé (G16), it features a bespoke version of the 4.4-litre V8 with Alpina-specific turbochargers and cooling systems, prioritising effortless low-end torque over the raw aggression of the BMW M8. The chassis is extensively reworked with Eibach springs and a unique 'Comfort+' mode, delivering a ride quality that remains composed even at its 201 mph top speed. It is distinguished by the iconic 20-spoke 'Classic' forged wheels and subtle aerodynamic enhancements that define the Buchloe brand's aesthetic.
