Specs:
ON SALE: March 2003
BASE PRICE: $137,595
POWERTRAIN: 4.8-liter, 375-hp, 383-lb-ft V8; rwd, five-speed Switchtronic automanual
CURB WEIGHT: n/a
0-60 MPH: 5.0 seconds (mfr.)
Moins puissante que la Z8 standart, mais avec plus de couple
Instead of the 4.9-liter M62 version of the BMW V8 located in all Z8s and M5s, this Roadster V8 carries a dedicated 4.8-liter version (codename F5/1) whose pieces are created by BMW based on Alpina parameters and then sent to Alpina for grinding, smoothing, polishing and assembly. It’s 90 pounds lighter than the 4.9-liter and tolerances are one-third those of BMW, which are already one-third of industry norms. This motor shares a lot with the 4.6-liter V8 found in the X5—an engine also developed in large part by Alpina. In between the 340 horsepower at 5700 revs of the X5 4.6is and the 394 at 6600 revs of the M5 and Z8 comes the 375 at 5800 of the Roadster V8. Torque hits 383 lb-ft at 3800 rpm as opposed to the “normal” Z8 at 368 lb-ft at same. Redline is 6500 vs. the M62’s 7200.
