Bovensiepens announce eponymous brand with Zagato-designed GT
The Bovensiepen family, founders of legendary German BMW tuner Alpina, has launched a new coachbuilding business with the unveiling of a new 600bhp super-GT styled by Italian design house Zagato.
With Alpina now owned by BMW itself, the family is shifting its focus to become “a manufacturer of outstanding automobiles that embody the ambition of fine driving”.
The first project from the new outfit is an imposing, BMW M4-based grand tourer named simply the Bovensiepen Zagato.
