  • 2014 BMW Alpina B4 Bi-Turbo – 410HP and 600Nm

    Alpina has presented the all-new 2014 B4 Bi-Turbo based on the recently announced BMW 4-Series Coupe 335i.

    The sports coupe comes with a lot of unique features like an aerodynamics package from Alpina, new wheels and improved interior.

    The exterior boasts a new front apron and rear spoiler. There is also a set of 20” ALPINA Classic wheels fitted with ultra-low profile tires. At the rear we can see ALPINA lettering and signature twin tailpipes.

    The engine is the well-known 3.0 liter straight-six – 410HP (301 kW) at 5,500RPM and 600Nm (444 lb-ft) at 3,000RPM. The engine is connected to a ZF 8-Speed Sport-Automatic transmission. 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 305 km/h (188 mph). Furthermore, the new B4 Bi-Turbo Coupe achieves a class-leading combined fuel economy of just 7.6l/100km and 177g/km CO2.

    The suspension set-up of the new B4 Bi-Turbo provides great ride-quality and comfort while simultaneously offering sharp and dynamic handling. The adaptive ALPINA sport suspension solves this conflict of interest by means of electronically adjustable dampers in collaboration with performance springs, bump stops and stabilisers. The system allows the driver to use the Drive Performance Control (Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport, Sport+) to select the suspension setting and driving dynamics to match his mood.

    Last, but not least is the high-performance brake system – 370mm discs at the front and 345mm discs at the rear with 4- and 2-piston calipers, respectively.

  • BMW Alpina B6 vs Lamborghini LP-560-4, BMW M6 G-Power, BMW X6 M and GT-R 1200

    A stock BMW Alpina B6 F13 made some drag starts versus some powerful vehicles – BMW M6 G-Power SK III with 750HP, BMW X6 M PP-Performance Stage 4 – 760HP, a stock Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 and a superfast Nissan GT-R Mk.1 DT 1200 R with 1200HP. The Alpina B6 F12 has only 540HP and it is not exactly the perfect car for 1 mile race.

    The first start is versus the M6 G-Power, which did 30.499 seconds and a terminal speed of 283 km/h. The Alpina B6 finished in 31.168 seconds with 272 km/h.

    The second start is against X6 M PP-Performance, which is winner of 3rd place in SUV Class 2013. The big SAC finished in 28.837 seconds with 279 km/h.

    Versus the Gallardo, the Alpina lost again. The Lamborghini finished in 30.095 seconds with speed of 275 km/h.

    The last start is doomed, because the GT-R has more than twice power compared to the B6 F12. The DT 1200 R finished in 25.362 seconds with 321 km/h.

  • 2012 BMW Alpina B6 Bi-Turbo

    Alpina has announced 2012 B6 Bi-Turbo featuring all-aluminium V8 power plant with two turbochargers delivering stunning amount of power.

    2012 Alpina B6 Bi-Turbo has a twin-turbo 4.4 liter V8 with 540PS (397 kW) at 5500RPM and 700Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque at just 3000RPM. 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.

    High-performance MAHLE pistons are designed specifically to deal with temperatures and pressures associated with up to 1.0 bar charging and the engine’s 9.2:1 nominal compression ratio. Altogether this results in an impressive specific output of 122.7hp (90kW) per litre and a mean total compression of 20.1 bar. Direct injection and Double-VANOS contribute to the B6 Bi-Turbo’s class-leading consumption and emission figures: 10.5 l/100km and 244 g/km CO2, Combined cycle, measured according to ECE Norm.

    The performance is simply astonishing – 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, which is exactly the same as the latest M5 F10 and a top speed of 320 km/h.

    The engine is mated to SWITCH-TRONIC 8-speed Sport Automatic Transmission by ZF. It offers Sport Shift Mode (S) and Manual Shift Mode (M).

    2012 BMW Alpina B6 Bi-Turbo

    The suspension comes with specific springs, increased front wheel camber and a subtle adjustment of the toe-in in conjunction with a 20″ wheel-tyre combination all serve to produce a very agile chassis set-up. The lightweight 20″ Alpina CLASSIC wheels, with MICHELIN PILOT SUPER SPORT tyres in the dimensions 255/35 ZR20 front and 285/30 ZR20 rear, contribute significantly to the direct handling and precise steering. Conventional tyres are used to promote ride comfort. There are also Drive Performance Control (electronically adjustable dampers) and Dynamic Drive (active roll stabilization) as standard.

    The exterior boasts aerodynamics body kit including a new front spoiler with carbon fiber splitter and a rear spoiler with a rear wing, which is available as an option.
