As for what that statement entails, it would make sense for some of the concept coupe\u2019s design elements to carry over to the production sedan. In fact, the Vision BMW Alpina largely adopts the 2027 7 Series<\/a> dashboard layout, complete with a passenger screen. Even the show car\u2019s massive footprint of 5200 millimeters (nearly 205 inches) suggests it could easily pass as a 7 Series Coupe or something to that effect.<\/p>\n 2026 Vision BMW Alpina concept<\/p>\n Photos by: BMW<\/p>\n 2026 Vision BMW Alpina concept<\/p>\n Photos by: BMW<\/p>\n The New Alpina 7 Series Will Have A V8 With Over 500 HP<\/p>\n The updated 7 Series<\/a> currently lacks a V8 engine because the 760i has yet to receive a direct replacement. However, BMW has already confirmed that an eight-cylinder M Performance model is coming in 2027. It would make sense for the Alpina variant to be closely related to what insiders claim will be an M760.<\/p>\n Alpina models from the pre-BMW era featured uniquely tuned engines, and the upcoming model will likely continue that tradition. The Vision concept featured a \u201cV8 powertrain tuned to produce the characteristic notes of the Alpina exhaust: rich and deep at low speed, sonorous at high revs.\u201d As for power, expect a big boost over the\u00a0536 hp delivered by the turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 in the old 760i.<\/p>\n 2026 Vision BMW Alpina concept<\/p>\n Photos by: BMW<\/p>\n 2026 Vision BMW Alpina concept<\/p>\n The Alpina 7 Series Will Be Even More Comfortable<\/p>\n But the new Alpina 7 Series won\u2019t focus on outright performance, since that role will belong to the M760. Instead, it will prioritize a sumptuous ride, as hinted by the concept\u2019s Comfort+ setting. While details remain scarce, this mode appears to be an exclusive feature for buyers looking to step beyond a standard BMW: \u201ca setting beyond the standard BMW comfort calibration that delivers a more supple, refined character.\u201d<\/p>\n The biggest missing piece of the puzzle is how the future Alpina 7 Series will differentiate itself from the regular BMW<\/a>. Past models delivered understated elegance and catered to the if-you-know-you-know crowd. However, the Vision concept\u2019s massive kidney grilles make the large coupe far less discreet than the old B7. Some elements of the one-off coupe will likely carry over to the sedan, since it wouldn\u2019t make much sense to unveil a concept so far removed from an upcoming production model.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n 42 <\/p>\n \n Source: BMW <\/p>\n Motor1’s Take:\u00a0BMW appears to have identified a niche we honestly didn\u2019t even know existed. Alpina will likely slot somewhere between a fully loaded 7 Series and a base Rolls-Royce Ghost<\/a>. Regardless of where it lands within the BMW Group hierarchy, we\u2019re glad to see the first new-era Alpina will be a sedan rather than an SUV.<\/p>\n But an SUV will likely follow not long after. With a second-generation X7 due in 2027, don\u2019t be surprised if BMW Alpina launches a replacement for the XB7<\/a> before the end of the decade. Hopefully, a coupe as large and lavish as the Vision concept will eventually reach production and fill the void left by the demise of the 8 Series Coupe.<\/p>\n \n \t\tWe want your opinion!\n\t<\/p>\n What would you like to see on Motor1.com?<\/p>\n![\"<p>2026](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/16x9-tr.png\")
