They're basically matching the output of the N74 V12 now. It seems to me that BMW needs to update that engine to make at least 100hp/L like the rest of its lineup is capable of. Of course people buy the 760Li for prestige more than anything else, but still, there's clearly a lot of untapped potential in a turbocharged V12 that only makes 544hp and 553ft-lb. And frankly at that pricepoint, I would be looking at the exclusivity and added performance features of the Alpina.
