  • Bmw Alpina B6 Coupé & Convertible
    BMW ALPINA B6 COUPÉ & CONVERTIBLE MANUFACTURER OF EXCLUSIVE AUTOMOBILES GRAND TOURERS... ...have a long tradition at ALPINA. It began with the legendary BMW ALPINA 3.0 CSL lightweight Coupé in the early 1970s, a car that caused a great furore, both as a race car and a road car. It was with this car that ALPINA won the European Touring Car Championship in 1973 and 1977. Since it débuted in 1978, friends of BMW 6 Series Coupés have awarded the 300 horsepower BMW ALPINA B7 Turbo Coupé – 330hp/512Nm-strong in the S-Version – cult status, making it a desired collector’s car. The elegant BMW 8 Series was the basis for the BMW ALPINA B12 5.7 Coupé, noticeable at a glance due to its carbon-fibre bonnet with NACA ducts. And with its top speed of 186mph, ALPINA was a leader in this regard, as well The maxim then as now was to offer performance on the level of exotic sports cars, coupled with high quality and the everyday “useability” only available from a volume manufacturer – such as BMW – on whose excellent basis we deliver GRAND TOURERS... FFIRSTI R S T CCLASS...L A S S . The BMW ALPINA B6 Coupé, yet another true Grand Tourisme, is a long-distance automobile par excellence. It is amply powered by 500 horsepower and 700Nm. The V8’s beguiling sound and opulent torque beg one to drive in a completely relaxed manner, any and all red-line orgies far afield, with more torque at tickover than most cars have in total.
