The harmony and skillfully made fine set-up of the car as a seamless whole -
which has always defined the Alpina signature - emboss the B6 Bi-Turbo in a very
special proportion. Sovereign power and torque guarantee excellent driving
performance coupled with excellent fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Neutral driveability, agile handling and versatile adjustable suspension satisfy
the highest demands on sport and comfort. Warm ambience, noble materials and
realization of personal desires guarantee the sense of wellbeing in the cockpit.
Exciting details, modern aerodynamics, great sound, dynamics and elegance
perfectly matched.
Alpina gives the B6 Bi-Turbo an independent and forceful appearance that
discreet stages the sporty character of this elegant automobile. The Coupe
appears concentrated and muscular and shines an irrepressible joie de vivre and
energy. According to the tradition of large coupes from Buchloe, it illustrates
the zenith in the Alpina universe in terms of sportsmanship and performance.
540-Horsepower Engine
The all-aluminum V8 power plant produces
540 hp at a moderate 5500 rpm, with a maximum torque of 516 lb-ft (700
Nm) between 3000 rpm - 4750 rpm. Two turbo-chargers configured in parallel, each
feeding one of the two cylinder banks, with specially developed large diameter
exhaust-turbines allow this engine configuration to provide both exceptional
power output and an abundance of torque over an especially broad rpm range while
maintaining excellent throttle response at low rpm.
