BMW Series 8 E31 Convertible (one-off) 

 The roots of the current BMW 8 Series Convertible can be traced back to the 1990s when BMW mulled over the option of offering an E31-based convertible and produced a one-off model as part of the project. Very little is known about this project as BMW tried to keep it behind closed doors as much as possible. What can be said for sure is that work on the E31 8 Series Convertible began in 1989 and continued towards the end of 1990.

The fate of the open-top 8 Series was concealed due to a mix of factors. The early 1990s saw Europe’s economies in quite an eventful geopolitical situations. Upon fear that the 8 Series Convertible would not be successful enough in terms of sales to justify its high development and production costs, the project never got the approval from the BMW top management for series production.

What is known for sure is that, if greenlighted, an E31 8 Series Convertible would have been a drop-dead gorgeous vehicle, with a mind-blowing silhouette and epic proportions. The Convertible managed to accentuate the sheer beauty and elegance of the 8 Series Coupe one step further.

Likely, the Convertible would have been offered with all the engine variants available for the 8 Series Coupe. The test bed for the project was the 850i version, powered by the 5.0-liter M70 V12 petrol engine, developing a peak output of 300 PS / 296 hp.Imagine what a great collectors car would have been the 850CSi Convertible, for example. Powered by the heavily reworked S70 12-cylinder aggregate, the range-topping open-top 8 Series would have benefitted from a substantially enhanced powertrain and would have been capable of reaching a maximum output of 280 kW / 381 PS (375 hp). I can only imagine how bloody sensational and exclusive an ALPINA B12 5.7 Convertible would have been. Packed with 416 PS (410 hp), a manual gearbox, add in a sunny day and some gentle wind in your hair and there you could have had the recipe for a ride in pure style. During the project, the BMW 850i Convertible prototype has been subjected to both in-door testing in the aerodynamic wind tunnel and outdoor, on-street proofing, in camouflaged outfit like every future model.

Probably, as the rigid roof was replaced by a retractable soft-top, the E31 8 Series Convertible needed additional torsional rigidity measures to be taken, which meant extra weight was added to the car in the body reinforcement process. In the end, it was concluded that, even though it could have been an attractive proposition in the segment and for the 8 Series lineup as well, the Convertible variant would have been a slow seller given the market context of those years.

Daily Forza Car #5: Back to Italy

BACK TO ITALY WE GO, to a brand that isn't one of the big 3 or Fiat. Alfa Romeo makes its debut, with the limited production SZ.

This car was made as a return to the sporting, and somewhat the racing, heritage that Alfa had back before they were owned by FIAT, who had recently acquired them at the time (There is no escape, all roads lead to FIAT). The Z stands for Zagato, a company whose designs we are going to see very often, as they've got hands almost everywhere in Europe. Although, they only built the body for this.

As for the design itself, well, it's very 90s. Blocky, not much of an ass on it, and a front end that looks, and Italians will hate me for this, very German. It gives me the same vibes as the 850CSi from BMW, which also has a very similar body shape to it, though longer and more flat. I think it's the iconic triangular grille that Alfa insists on putting on every car they make. The grille that is probably the worst thing on most of their cars, mind you. Especially the modern ones.

Of the 1000 built, 13 were actually turned into race cars, though not much was changed in them. Mostly just adjustments to make them fit to regulations and race ready. As for the rest, about 100 were sent to Japan, and the rest are scattered around the world on various bidding sites. It's an iconic car for Alfa, though definitely not one of the best looking, and handles about as well as you'd expect. We'll get to that "best looking" one eventually.

I forgot to do this on time.

Top 5 cars? 💫

#1 is easy that’s this:

1967 Chevrolet Impala SS 427 Coupe.

Manual, A/C, buckets, console, no vinyl top. Absolute dream car. Almost singlehandedly makes Matthew 6:19 my least favorite Bible verse. My materialistic heart is making all sorts of grabby-hands gestures.

After that it’s less clear, there’s a lot of neat cars out there. So here’s four of my favorites:

Porsche Cayman GT4 (RS)

The Cayman is not the most shockingly gorgeous exotic sports car around, but I think it’s very tastefully not-overstyled, and it’s supposedly one of the best driver’s cars at any price. I like it better than the 911, and in GT4 trim it has incredible performance. I’m torn between the standard GT4 and the RS version, because the RS has the amazing, long-awaited 9000rpm 500hp 4.0L flat-six from the 911 GT3, but it’s also a bit too track-focused (ie stiff and uncomfortable) for my tastes. Also the RS doesn’t have a manual, which is lame.

The Aston Martin Rapide is a favorite of mine. This era of Aston is just gorgeous, though on the Rapide they messed up the styling after the first version. They should have given it the DBS grill and bumper. It’s not as popular as the coupes but to me there’s just something about a gorgeous four door hatchback that’s RWD with a big V12 under the hood. I want to get one someday and swap in the 7sp dogleg manual from the Vantage S.

Another V12 car, the BMW 850csi. I’ll never forget the first time I saw an 8-series parked outside the JW church across the street from school. Definitely one of the coolest cars of the 90s. And it’s manual.

What’s next? You guessed it, another V12 car.

The Gordon Murray Automotive t.50

The styling is… just okay. It’s an MR2 Spyder at 11/10. But the mechanicals are incredible. Three seats, in a delta format. A 3.9L 654hp 12,100rpm V12 with electric assist. A manual transmission. 2174lb curb weight. A fan that sucks air into the rear diffuser for more downforce with less drag.
