Alpina"s take on the BMW Z8 is called the Alpina V8 Roadster. Only 555 were reportedly built, and this rather delectable 2003-registered black und red version is being offered up for auction at RM Sotheby"s Monterey sale in August. We would now like to give you a moment so that you may scroll through the pictures at the top of this story. Because it"s gorgeous. Go on. We"ll wait. Ready to continue? Good. The Z8 remains the BMW roadster that most closely embodies the spirit of the classic 507. Indeed, the concept Z8 was even dubbed Z07". It arrived in Y2K with a 5.0-litre V8 up front pinched from the E39 M5, good for 400bhp, matched to a six-speed manual and rear-wheel-drive.
