Alpina 600hp from 4,4l V8 800Nm
BMW 600hp from 6.6l V12 800Nm

Pretty similar except for the engine displacement.
And that's the deal breaker here. V12 = smooth , silent compared to V8 , V12 should deliver higher torque at lower rpm , it should go without any fuss..I don't have all the technical data in front of me but the B7 should be lighter , which means better track performance which again makes no sense here. And the Alpina B7 looks lower , meaner , just better imo , in fact it looks stunning compared to stock BMW , even this M760il.
The main rivals? the top spec Audi A8 (whichever is these days Plus , UberSterk or SuperSUUUUPER ++, The Merc S600 , 63, 65 AMG and what else? Not sure , but what I am 99% sure is that the claimed engine output of 600hp is underrated and is probably more close to mid 700's and the torque is also well above 800Nm..I wonder why BMW does that?
