Luxury performance convertible is no longer just the domain of the work of British and Italian custom-made​​. Alpina B6 Cabrio – the alternative combination of performance and luxury with a high level of practicality

500 hp, 700 Nm – absurd in an open sports car? Far from it. V8 sound and torque of luxury attractive bamboozle drivers slide with a relaxed manner, carrying out any orgies red-line distance, such as cruising on a Harley Davidson. This provides time for a drink at the top to mix the wind, smell and sound. Leather, wood and matchless ergonomics caress the population, immediate sense of comfort and prosperity.

The acceleration suggests a super-sports car: 100 km / h from the start stand at 4.9 seconds is achieved with speeds exceeding 300 km / h less than one minute – just a brief interruption of the 6-speed ZF automatic’s smooth gear changes are made. Gran Tourismo is just as good noble in a loud voice communication V8 directly into the cockpit, both derived from the top down, or just the rear window

Alpina B5 BMW Alpina presented at the Geneva Salon in March 2005, a car with 500 hp and maximum torque of 700 Nm and a top speed of 314km / h – the fastest production sedan in the world. But performance is not only characteristic, it alpina BMW, an automobile which enriches Buchloe offers gourmet both Touring and Saloon form

Ultimately, the key is not absolute horsepower, but the way in which this performance unfold. At this point, the youngest member of the family Alpina position at the head of the class – like its predecessors in the history of Alpina. The legendary B10 Bi-Turbo enjoy as cars, cult status today.

In principle, the B5 uses the same engine found in BMW Alpina B7 familiar, with eight cylinders and 4.4 liters of displacement. Engine forced induction differs from conventional solutions: it’s not turbo, not from the nature of super chargers that drain a lot of power from the engine, especially at high speed

A radial or “Nautilus-type” compressor provides pressure Alpina V8 costs: it can be seen as a combination of a super charger and turbocharger. It is not driven by exhaust gases, such as going turbo, but with a belt drive from the crankshaft. compare the inner workings of a centrifugal compressor to the suction side of the turbo: a small turbine to produce up to 0.8 atmospheres to increase the cylinder. Before reaching the engine, cooling air passes through the inter-generously-dimensioned, capable of sinking up to the inlet air temperature of 70 ° C

“This interesting phenomenon,” is the first impression that Andreas Bovensiepen of diesel BMW 320d race that he had been running along with Hans Stuck, Marc Duez and Christian Menzel. Together they took the overall victory was not more than 1998 24-hour race at Nurburgring, the track that the North Loop was and is, like the “green hell” means. This remains the biggest race is diesel-fired vehicle to date, is with thanks to smart package for high torque, high fuel consumption and aerodynamics honed

A car from Alpina – and the experts know it – always something special. packaging is the magic word – the current car information, sporty and clients appreciate Alpina very emotional.

At the heart of the matter is a diesel 2.0-liter, with so much potential that has the BMW engineers in Steyr that only reaches more than 100 hp per liter in the BMW Alpina D3. It will be good results for high-performance gasoline engines, and this is the sensation of diesel. Garrett, the glory of the turbocharger is able to provide a new charger that simultaneously achieve high air mass by-position with a very good response. Alpina engineers performed intensive development work on the injection system, burn pattern, inter-cooling and exhaust emissions (particulate filter). The result: min 200 hp (147 kW) at 4,000 rpm

What makes this car special? First of all – works well on the way out-the price of fuel-hand. Torque: in 410Nm/302lbs-ft as much as a V8 engine. Performance: 0-100km / h in 7.4 seconds with a top speed of 238kph, such as six-cylinder. Fuel consumption: at 6-7 liters per 100 km, more like a small commuter car. A car that is really a dynamic that does not create false hopes by shooting first and the rest at low speed with Peter at higher speeds. Conversely, 2.0litre who like to rev, with the hope the owners work together and be happy with both it and the buttery-smooth ZF transmission-shifting 6-speed manual

Innovative, turbo cars have always played a central role in the Alpina more than 45-year history as a producer – 1989 BMW Alpina B10 Bi-Turbo is a good example to achieve cult status.

In 2008 BMW Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo revive this tradition and combines bi-turbo charging with compact dimensions of the BMW 3 Series.

New BMW Alpina B3 Bi-Turbo S couples increased power and torque with fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions – it is the logical result of technical development is underway at the highest level.

During the construction of the Z4, BMW has provided a vehicle with an unparalleled driving pleasure. Excellent suspension, steering and agile silky smooth six-cylinder – hence why the BMW Z4 Alpina Roadster S based?

Very simple: if the M version of BMW Z3, Z4 are not planned for – just based on the number of projects has become a major manufacturer such as BMW, can not serve any time niche market.

40-year collaboration with Alpina, BMW is a good opportunity to develop top-line version of the reliable and friendly hand is provided. This means that certain liabilities, of course – but we have the appropriate experience.

Based on the BMW Z8, BMW Alpina Roadster V8 was built as a limited edition of 555 cars, buy and sell quickly because of special qualities. This is definitely going to be a collector car – but for the purpose of the BMW Alpina Roadster S, we want to just produce a few more.
