Leaked: 2010 Alpina B7 Bi-turbo image
The 2009 BMW Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo will join the B6 GT3 race car on the stand in Geneva, and thanks to AutoZeitung, we've got a singular photo and some preliminary specs on the uber-sedan from Alpina. The B7 Bi-Turbo is essentially the M7 BMW forgot to build, packing a twin-turbocharged, 4.4-liter V8 putting out 507 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. Alpina claims the B7 can run to 60 in 4.7 seconds and on to an electronically-limited 173 mph. We'll have more details from the Geneva Motor Show next week, but expect a host of upgrades to join the engine mods, including uprated brakes, suspension components and a reworked interior to compliment the B7's new body kit. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/27/g...bo-sneaks-out/

haha ur sig is a lil misleading. A 911 Turbo (997) gets to 60 in 3.4s, hell even the 996 did it in 4.1
Should be a 911 Carrera instead

I was expecting more power....besides that the car looks great....
M5 and M6 ,two same engines have 507....now the 4.4 has 507....again u can get more power than that , at least 570....however if thats true the Alpina B7 is still some 100hp short of S65 AMG......WOW...that sucks

Second, I wouldn't compare it to the S65. Smaller engine, 4 cylinders less. Of course it has less power. But I guess it'll be much sportier than a S65. Compare it to a S63. Both V8 (okay not both naturally aspirated), but nearlly the same hp (you won't feel the 10hp missing) but the Alpian has way more torque! And that counts in heavyweight class. |

and second....it could match S63 if not even better.....well see.... and third.....why isnt there an Alpina B7 with over 600hp?? and torque like AMG?.....and the answer ladies is because we still dont have a 760i.....when that happens Alpina will have an S65 Killer...V12 vs V12......B7 R vs S65 , B7 vs S63 and 760 vs S600....

a need for showing off....like who needs Q7 V12 Diesel..?.... nothing special about it except for huge power and huge torque..there will always be someone who will buy it...just like the S65.....and 760 and Alpina and S8 on and on

WOW, Looks very nice!
I'm not so sure on the mod Alpina did to the bottom front. From the image above, it appears to extends past the fenders in front of the tires. Wonder how long that stays on until it gets ripped off by a curb or something else ...

I find it highly amusing that those people that complain that the 750, 760 or Alpina versions (or any other BMW model for that fact) don't have 'MORE' hp, 'MORE' torque, don't have 'MORE... MORE... MORE' because such and such car has this or that much MORE... you get the point, those same people never seem to buy these kind of cars anyway, so why are they complaining ???
I'm not trying to offend anybody (and if you feel that I offended you, please accept my apology) and I'm also not trying to steer anything up, it's an observation I made in a couple of threads here and I just find it interesting, that's all
