So, what is required for an Alpina supersaloon vehicle to become the most powerful yet? I’ll tell you. All you need is an ALPINA-optimized 4.4-liter V8 power unit, capable of producing 600hp (441kW) and 800Nm of torque. Still not impressed?
What is also special about this unit is that it is further upgraded and fine-tuned and offers high response and is geared with two especially created twin-scroll turbochargers that deliver up to 1.2-bar with minimum inertia. Furthermore, the engineering team also paid special attention to the airflow optimization with short intake paths and the near-instant throttle response. The intercooler system also deserved some attention and now offers increased power and better responsiveness with main intercooler that feeds two large-volume close-coupled intercoolers. Sweet.
Further improvements have been made on the weight optimization, along with high-strength, yet lightweight materials as carbon-fiber and special aluminum components. Also, there is this new Carbon Core fabric, incorporated in vehicle’s drivetrain system, along with advanced Rear Wheel Drive system.

Downsizing, one of the most important feature and keyword when it comes to engine construction has been Karl-Otto Noelle’s passion for decades. Back in 1980s the started to improve the way of achieving maximum performance on small engine sizes with simultaneous turbo-charging. In later years, in the early 90s, he makes a noticeable achievement: Noelle is already the Alpina engine boss, thanks to the double forced ventilation, 360hp (264kW) and 520 Nm produced from the Alpina B10 Biturbo’s 3.4-liter unit, geared in BMW 5 series. So, let’s see what made this man special and what made this machine special.
