This is the 2028 BMW Alpina 7 Series with a V8 engine, reaching over 300 km/h at Nardò
A camouflaged BMW Alpina 7 Series prototype with a V8 engine has already exceeded 300 km/h at the Nardò test track. Sales of the model are expected in 2027.
The BMW Alpina 7 Series is focused on comfort, precision, and stability during long journeys, not just top speed. The prototype is equipped with the S68 engine—a V8 with twin turbochargers—and its weight with this engine is expected to exceed two metric tons.
The sedan features Alpina’s signature 20-spoke wheels and special tires with a foam layer. The prototype also has production-ready headlights and bumpers, while four oval exhaust pipes distinguish it from the standard BMW 7 Series.
The vehicle will include navigation-oriented Level 2 driver assistance functions: the system will assist with urban lane changes, turns, roundabout navigation, and right-of-way situations. The driver must continuously monitor the road and be prepared to take control.
The model’s internal designation is G72. Production is planned to begin in July 2027 for the 2028 model year. The lineup is expected to include the six-cylinder 740 xDrive, the V8-powered 760 xDrive, and the zero-emissions i7 70 xDrive.
