Bovensiepen 05 GT

The Bovensiepen 05 GT - the latest creation from the Bühl-based car manufacturer - combines sophisticated engineering with timeless design, capturing the art of fine driving in every detail and creating a Gran Turismo with a truly unique automotive character.

"Following the Bovensiepen Zagat, the Bovensiepen 05 GT also embodies timeless and elegant design from every angle; we are collaborating with top designers in the industry," says Andreas Bovensiepen, CEO of the Bühl-based car manufacturer.

Renowned automotive designer Frank Stevenson created Bovensiepen's new design language for the 05 GT. Fine driving refers to the fusion of outstanding design with a powerful drivetrain and precise handling, combined with exceptional ride and interior comfort. At the Bühl plant, automotive dreams are brought to life by hand with great dedication, which is particularly appealing to car enthusiasts. Bovensiepen 05 GT: “A treat for all the senses,” explains Andreas Bovensiepen.

The exterior design bears the signature of designer Frank Stevenson, a leading figure in contemporary automotive design. A name inextricably linked to automotive icons such as the first BMW X5 and the relaunch of the modern MINI Cooper at the turn of the millennium. Some of the world’s most famous sports car manufacturers, including Ferrari, Maserati and McLaren, have already relied on Stevenson’s design expertise.

A striking design element runs along the entire lower part of the body: a design line connects the front bumper, side sills and rear end into a harmonious whole. As with the design line that encompasses the Bovensiepen Zagato, the eye is led around the entire vehicle to discover every detail of this automotive work of art. The color of the design line can be selected to match the exterior color.

The core component of the new Bovensiepen design language is the powerful front end, with a laser-cut grille made of high-quality stainless steel and large air intakes that reveal the Bovensiepen 05 GT's affinity with Zagato.

At the rear, an Akrapovič titanium exhaust system with four oval tailpipes in typical Bovensiepen design highlights the high performance potential of the Bovensiepen 05 GT.

A horizontal design line on the side sills elongates the side view, resulting in a visually lower, sportier appearance in combination with the wide front and rear.

The wheels are much more than just a functional element: they are an integral part of the Bovensiepen design language and an expression of profound engineering art. The Bovensiepen 05 GT is equipped with lightweight 21-inch forged wheels that radiate a commitment to perfection through their symmetrical design. The color scheme can be freely chosen; for example, a newly developed satin aluminum finish is available as standard. Both the brake calipers with the Bovensipen logo and the wheels can be finished in a number of colour options to match the car's colour and the surrounding design line.

Inside, the high standards of the Fine Driving philosophy are evident in every detail. In keeping with the tradition of small-series production, each vehicle bears a numbered production plate - an unmistakable commitment to uniqueness. The hand-crafted Lavalina steering wheel with high-quality aluminum gearshift paddles sets new standards in feel and appearance at the most central point of contact for the driver.

The design of the front end follows the principle of "form follows function" and ensures the necessary airflow for intake and cooling. The optimised air intake with a special intake funnel, together with the generously dimensioned Akrapovič exhaust system, allows the engine to "breathe" more easily. Both create the conditions for optimising the engine software - confirmed by extensive testing in summer and winter, as well as at top speed test sites such as Papenburg and Nardo. The result is a system output of 589 kW (800 hp), which, combined with a maximum torque of 1100 Nm, ensures a particularly confident driving experience.

The lightweight titanium exhaust system, developed in collaboration with renowned technology partner Akrapovič, produces an emotionally appealing sound with strong bass and saves 7.8 kg in weight.

In line with the extensive customization options, all of these elements can be ordered in a freely selectable contrasting color. The seat back covers can be painted in any desired color at no additional charge; the insert itself is covered in leather and bears the 05 GT model designation. In this way, the modern interior creates a warm atmosphere that invites you to travel in comfort and style. Those who appreciate luxury and exclusivity the most will choose one of the full-leather interiors - made from the famous Lavalina leather, considered by connoisseurs to be the highest quality in the entire automotive industry.

Delivery of the first vehicles to customers is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026. The recommended retail price with 19% German tax is 198,900 euros.
