The Henrik Fisker-designed Z8 drew inspiration from the 507 roadster of the 1950s and features aluminum body panels over an aluminum spaceframe. The Alpina Roadster was produced for the 2003 model year after standard Z8 production ended. This example is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic with a color-matched removable hardtop and a black soft top. Additional equipment includes xenon headlights with washers, front fender air extractors with BMW roundels, painted mirror caps, dual exhaust outlets, and neon taillights and turn indicators. The headlamps were replaced by the selling dealer.
Staggered-width 20″ Ronal wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires that were reportedly installed by the selling dealer. The four-wheel disc brake system is equipped with Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), and the Alpina model received a softer suspension as compared to the standard Z8. Additional features include Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and All-Season Traction (ASC).
The cabin features Sport Red and black Nappa leather upholstery that extends from the heated power-adjustable seats to the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include navigation, a Harman Kardon sound system, leather-wrapped roll hoops, air conditioning, and cruise control. A plaque mounted between the seats denotes this Alpina Roadster as chassis #184 of 555 in the series.
The leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel features Switch-Tronic shift buttons and frames an Alpina-branded gear indicator ahead of the driver. Centrally mounted instrumentation includes a 170-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer with an integrated analog clock, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 55k miles.
The 4.8-liter M62 V8 was shared with the contemporary B10 V8 S and features double-VANOS variable valve timing, individual throttle bodies, a double-row timing chain, and hollow camshafts. Factory-rated output was 375 horsepower and 396 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed Switch-Tronic automatic transmission. Additional photographs of the underside are shown in the gallery below.
