The B8 GT represents Alpina’s most powerful automotive creation to date because it emerges from the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe framework. The B8 GT stands as Alpina’s ultimate performance creation and features an optimized 4.4-liter V8 engine while remaining Alpina’s last independent tuner model. The company reaches this development at a time when it has incorporated into BMW after signing the 2022 deal.
