Alpina Roadster V8 (BMW Z8)

 
Quite a rare car to see around, the Alpina prepared Z8 from 2003. Last Z8 to be produced, only 555 rolled out of the German production line, and just 8 were sold on the British market, most of the others being shipped off to the USA. So yes, it is a rare sighting!!!
The Alpina version of the BMW Z8 had a 4.8l V8 engine with 381 bhp. 0-62 takes 5.3 seconds and the top speed was electronically limited not to 155mph (250km/h) as usual but 161mph (260km/h)
After the Aston Martin DBS and the DB5, this is the 3rd Bond car to make it on DreamCarSpotter! (I know, the Bond one wasn't the Alpina version but the regular BMW Z8!)
