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.
The BMW ALPINA B8 GT is a tribute to Burkard Bovensiepen. The Gran Coupé is limited to 99 units worldwide.
Bi-colour paintwork
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.
Design Sportive Quality
Carbon parts
The air ducts in the front apron, the side dive planes, the AirBreather trims and the newly designed and more pronounced diffuser are finished in carbon fibre. They emphasise the sporty side of the B8 GT without detracting from the elegant appearance of a Gran Turismo.
ALPINA CLASSIC 21″ forged wheel in Aluminium Satin
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 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!

Travel Comfort and driving Dynamics
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. A typical ALPINA feature is the choice between three steering modes: COMFORT, SPORT and SPORT+.
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.
Craft- and Hand-Work
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. 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 ALPINA Walnut Anthracite fine wood trim – complemented by a metal insert in the cup holder lid bearing the signature of company founder Burkard Bovensiepen – is part of every B8 GT interior.
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.
