BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe 2022.

The 2022 BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe is as powerful as the M8.

BMW is usually careful to ensure that its M-badged models are the most powerful of any lineup. But he often lets the tuning BMW Alpina build them a car that rivals his M models in every way, and that goes for the 2022 BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe.

Like the M8, the B8 uses a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8, but it produces 612 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. That’s an increase of 12 horsepower and 37 lb-ft over the M car.

The 617 horsepower M8 Competition barely outperforms the Alpina, but it has the same less torque as a non-competitive car.

The B8’s top speed is also higher, with a V-max of 201 mph compared to the 190 for the M8. But the M8 still boasts a faster 0-60 mph sprint in 3 seconds compared to the 3.3 B8.

This may have something to do with the fact that the Alpina’s curb weight of 4,831 pounds is 351 pounds more than the M8’s.

The Alpina B8 also features improved performance over the M850i ​​Gran Coupe, but they are not nearly as aggressive as the M8.

It got four-piston front brake calipers, four-wheel steering, a rear limited slip differential, a stiffer shock absorber and lower wishbones, and reinforced anti-roll bars.

That should make the Alpina quite sporty, but the M8 gets six-piston front brake calipers and an electronically controlled mechanical limited slip differential for even more impressive handling and braking.

But if you consider the Alpina, you’re not just getting it for speed and handling. You also get it for style and luxury.

The exterior is complemented by a unique front spoiler with the tuner’s name, slim side skirts, an aggressive rear bumper and a modest trunk spoiler.

It also features signature 21-inch multi-spoke wheels wrapped in high-performance summer tires. Smaller 20-inch versions are available if you need a kit with all-season or winter tires.

Inside, the standard leather seats are heated and cooled in natural colors, black Alcantara headlining and walnut trim.

The coloration can be changed using the options. The instrument display features a unique Alpina layout, while the standard gear knob and steering wheel are laser-engraved with the Alpina and B8 logos.

Other standard features include a Harmon Kardon audio system, heated steering wheel, panoramic sunroof, power window blinds and soft-close doors.

For the V8 engine, a stainless steel sports exhaust system has been specially developed for the bright, natural sound of a powerful engine. The driver can also influence the sound by switching between Comfort and Sport modes.

The Harman Kardon surround sound system delivers premium sound. Icon adaptive LED headlights with laser light provide better performance than conventional light sources.BMW’s leading navigation, communications, infotainment and driver assistance systems are also standard on the BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe.

The eight-cylinder BMW Alpina B8 engine is characterized by dynamic and smooth power transmission and excellent responsiveness throughout the entire rev range.

The coupe comes standard with Brembo brakes with 395 mm discs with four-piston calipers at the front and 398 mm discs with single-piston mechanisms at the rear.

Carbon ceramic discs are available as an option. Adaptive air suspension with Eibach springs is responsible for passenger comfort.

The front bumper has a firm-imposed pad in the center, and the rear bumper is complemented by a diffuser.

The coupe was installed on branded 20-inch Alpina Classic rims «shod» in Pirelli P Zero tires at the front with dimensions 245/35 ZR21, and at the rear with 285/30 ZR21. For painting the body, 13 shades of enamel are provided.

The interior of the BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe can be trimmed with classic Alpina B8 genuine Lavalina leather (this is one of 14 design options), and the digital dashboard has received original graphics.

Standard equipment includes multifunction seats, ventilated front seats, heated seats and steering wheel, BMW Individual Merino extended leather upholstery, instrument panel leather and headlining in anthracite Alcantara.

The standard panoramic glass sunroof creates a light and airy ambience in the cabin.
