The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class will be joined by two new super-luxury variants in the fourth quarter of this year, after the order books for the S 580L 4MATIC and the even longer-wheelbase Mercedes-Maybach S 680 open in the third quarter.

For over 50 years, Germany s Alpina has been making some of BMW s best cars even better. Back in March, we were introduced to Alpina s latest project. Based on the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe M850i, the Alpina B8 Gran Coupe boasts sportier styling, M8-rivaling performance, and a more luxurious interior than the regular 8 Series Gran Coupe.
Whereas the M850i Gran Coupe s 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 pumps out 523 hp and 553 lb-ft, Alpina has increased the output to 612 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. With US deliveries starting soon, BMW has launched an online configurator for the Alpina B8 so we can find out how much a fully loaded model costs with all the options ticked.
