BMW doesn’t plan to offer an M division performance version of its all-new 7-Series, so Alpina, the German tuner with very close ties to BMW, decided to offer its own take on a high-performance 7-Series, the Alpina B7. The thoroughly massaged B7 Bi-Turbo made its debut today at the Geneva Motor Show.
The B7 sports a revised front fascia, including a front lip spoiler, designed to increase downforce. Updated rocker panels run the length of the car with a small ducktail spoiler finishing off the rear of the B7. Alpina-specific wheels, an updated version of the style the tuner has used for more than 30 years, are also be part of the package.
Underhood, the B7 Bi-Turbo will feature a twin-turbocharged 4.4L V8, cranking out 507 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Despite the 7-Series’ rather hefty curb weight, that power should be capable of propelling the B7 from 0-60 in 4.7 seconds, on its way to a terminal velocity of 173 mph.
Inside, the B7 gets some unique bits, including an Alpina badge on the steering wheel.
