The 2011 BMW Alpina B6 Bi-Turbo Convertible provides a perfect match between driving dynamics and

ALPINA revealed the new BMW ALPINA B3 Bi-Turbo. This is a model that combines the Bi-Turbo charging with the compact dimensions of the BMW 3 Series. It has very low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The model is powered by a 3.0-liter straight-six cylinder petrol engine that is capable of delivering 400 horsepower and 540 Nm of torque. The high levels of output are the results of many years of testing and permanent development. It is able of accelerating from 0 to 62 mph in 4.7 seconds and can reach a top speed of 300 km/h. The model combines quality materials, brilliant ergonomics and excellent safety and so it is a perfect car for long journeys. As standard it comes with high levels of safety and light-footed, agile handling. The driving precision of the suspension during quick changes in direction is increased by the firm rear sub-frame bushings.

At the 41st Tokyo Motor Show, ALPINA and NICOLE Automobiles will have their own exhibit. The first car, a BMW ALPINA B7 Turbo, is a model that was delivered to Japan back in 1979 and is still being driven these days. The new ALPINA flagship, the long-wheelbase version of the BMW ALPINA B7 Bi-Turbo will be officially shown to the public for the very first time. Apparently, the carmaker already delivered 330 units of the 7-series to Japan. The other model that will be presented at the stand is the BMW ALPINA D3 Bi-Turbo. This is the first clean performance diesel that is available in the Japanese market. This are the two reasons ALPINA will be present at the Tokyo Motor Show.

ALPINA presents the new BMW ALPINA D3 Bi-Turbo, a model that is powered by a BMW 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbo-charged diesel engine with an aluminum block. It can produce 214 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. After a lot of testing and extensive development work, the turbo charger was improved. The smooth power delivery can be further enhanced with the optional ALPINA SWITCH-TRONIC automatic transmission that sends the power to the wheels. The model uses a suspension technology that has received rave reviews from the press. It features excellent rigidity and five-arm rear suspension that help a lot improve the driving dynamics. The ALPINA CLASSIC tires and wheels were weight-optimized to provide exact steering and great feedback.

ALPINA celebrates the return to racing and for this it developed the BMW ALPINA B6 GT3, a model that will compete in the FIA European GT3 championship. It has as base the BMW 6-series and it is powered by a 4.4-liter V8 engine with radial compressor. The engine is able of delivering 530 horsepower and 725 Nm of torque. The new race car had its debut at very low temperatures, but managed to complete its first 300 km in a brilliant way. The next tests are scheduled for this week in France before the B6 GT3 makes its first public appearance in early March, in Geneva. ALPINA will introduce two race cars in the FIA GT3 European Championship and are planned for customer race teams. They will compete in Belgium, England, Germany, Brazil, Italy and France.

The new BMW ALPINA B3 Bi-Turbo continues the tradition ALPINA started back in 1989 with the B10 Bi-Turbo that will be presented to the world at the 2007 Geneva Salon de Automobile. The engine offers a maximum torque of 500 Nm and 360 horsepower. The allure of the new BMW ALPINA B3 is found in its V8 like performance, but better having lighter and thriftier 3.0-liter straight-six with an aluminum block and twin-turbo charging. It is able of acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and can reach a top speed of 285 km/h. It can achieve low Euro4 emissions as standard. Because it uses special materials and superior ergonomics, the driving experience is improved. The handling is incredible thanks to the 50/50 weight balance between front and rear axles in combination with the neutral and supple suspension of ALPINA. Its new creation reduces aerodynamic lift, especially approaching top speed. ...

An automobile from Alpina – and cognoscenti know it – is always something special. Packaging is the magic word – to present a car that the informed, sporty and quite emotional ALPINA clientele will appreciate

The largest model BMW ALPINA ever created is the B10 V8 S model. It is powered by a 4.8-liter 8-cylinder engine that is able to develop 375 BHP. But power is not the only thing the car inspires, but also the kind of refinement expected from a luxury saloon. The model is capable of speeding up to 284 km/h and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds. For ALPINA, the superior unfolding of engine performance is a decisive requirement for deploying the vast potential of its automobiles. The model is safe and performs easy so that the driver will be not taxed, not even over a long drive. The power is being sent to the wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. To drive in a sporty manner, you need the SWITCH-TROMIC, developed by ALPINA which enables the driver to manually shift the gear of the automatic transmission.

ALPINA decided to modify the Z8 using a lot of dramatic and some subtle refinements. This model replaces the Z8 BMW M engine that had 5.0-liter and was able to deliver 394 horsepower, with a performance-variant of the V8. So now, the model is powered by a 4.8-liter ALPINA engine that is able to deliver 375 horsepower and 383 lb. ft. of torque. The power is being sent to the wheels through a 6-speed automatic transmission. The exterior modifications have been kept to a minimum. The model now features 20-inch wheels with five clusters of four spokes each are 9.0-inches wide at the front and 10.0-inches at the rear. The performance tires are 225/35R-20 at the front and 285/30R-20 at the rear. The BMW ALPINA roadster V8 adopts a different steering wheel, with three finished in leather and metal spokes. In the cockpit was used Soft Nappa upholstery with special piping and ...
