So it’s official, the BMW 8 Series is here, if you can’t quite afford an Aston Martin DB11 then the 8 Series is the cheaper alternative. Cheap is always defined by affordability, whether you have enough cash to splash. To those able to afford a car costing £76k – for the entry-level diesel model – such an amount should be no problem to cough up.

But going for the £150k Aston Martin DB11 over a BMW 8 Series might just stretch your budget, it’s like the difference between those who shop at Walmarts (somewhere in jerk-water USA) compared to those who can afford to shop in Rodeo Drive, LA. So the BMW 8 Series is an expensive quarter of ‘Walmarts’ and the Aston Martin DB11 is ‘Rodeo Drive, LA’. Two alternatives offering the same experience. But if you are after a real alternative? then why not go for a BMW 8 Series Pickup Truck, Pickup Trucks and SUV’s are popular right now, so a Pickup 8 Series is fully justified. But it will never get built because this is a fan made concept. Aksyonov Nikita, a digital artist based in Pavlosk, Russia imagined and rendered an 8 Series Pickup concept.
