"Officially, the car you see here is called the Alpina Roadster S, but it's clearly based on the BMW Z4. As with other Alpina models, BMW assembles the car from a combination of its own components and those supplied by Alpina, and a BMW two-year warranty applies.
The Roadster S weighs just 1320kg and produces 300bhp - enough to create performance figures of a 165mph top speed and 0-62mph in 5.3 seconds. Standard equipment includes climate control air-conditioning, leather upholstery, 19" Alpina Dynamic wheels, a 6-CD changer, cruise control, park distance control and a multi-function steering wheel.
Fuel consumption is officially described as "commensurate with the performance level", which means there's no point in even thinking of the Roadster as an economical car. In fact the figures are reasonable enough, combined fuel consumption being 28.5mpg and the CO2 rating 238g/km.
Prices start at £37,850 on the road. It will certainly be exclusive, since the total Alpina production for 2005 - including the German tuning company's versions of the 3-Series Coupé and Convertible and 5-Series and 7-Series saloons - amount to just 120 vehicles."
