BMW ALPINA B8 GRAN COUPÉ

Chassis

Precision dynamics and comfort

The BMW ALPINA B8 offers a very refined suspension and chassis set-up that combines first-class long-distance ride comfort with precise handling characteristics. The BMW ALPINA B8 impresses in a myriad of driving situations with its harmonious, balanced chassis and a high sense of safety.

Integral Active Steering

The Integral Active Steering offers direct steering response with exceptional feedback and improves overall agility. The Active Kinematics Control System from ZF enables the wheels of the rear axle to pivot a maximum of 2.3° left or right. At low speeds, the rear axle steers opposed to the front axle for increased agility and dynamic handling. Conversely, at higher speeds the rear axle steers “with” (congruent to) the front axle for maximum directional stability.

High safety reserves

Four-piston fixed brake callipers from Brembo with 395 mm (15.6") diameter brake discs on the front axle and floating brake callipers with 398 mm (15.7") diameter brake discs on the rear axle provide high safety reserves and thermodynamic stability, even under high loads. ALPINA’s high-performance brake system with drilled brake discs and high-temperature resistant brake pads offers even more direct pedal feedback and excellent fading stability.*

* Please note that drilled bake discs may lead to a loss of acoustic comfort.

Limited-slip differential

A rear axle limited-slip differential lets the BMW ALPINA B8 tap into its full dynamic capabilities, especially when cornering: a traction-dependent torque distribution increases vehicle stability when entering the corner and enables a more agile vehicle behaviour when exiting the corner.

 

The stated values were determined in accordance with the prescribed in accordance with Regulation (EU) 715/2007 as amended.

Only the CO2 emissions caused by the operation of the car are stated here. CO2 emissions caused by the production and provision of the car and the fuel or energy source are not taken into account when determining CO2 emissions in accordance with the WLTP (Worldwide harmonised Light-duty vehicles Test Procedure).

The fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of a car are not only dependent on the efficient the efficient utilisation of the fuel by the car, but also the driving style and other driving style and other non-technical factors. CO2 is the main is the main greenhouse gas responsible for global warming.

A guide to the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of all new car models models offered in Germany is available free of charge at every point of sale in Germany where new point of sale in Germany where new cars are displayed or offered for sale. The guide is also available here: https//dat.de/co2/.
