Of course: blue, obligatory thick front bumper and the oh so typical Alpina alloy wheels. The Alpina B7 is a little surprising, but makes up for that with old-fashioned tasty specs.

During the auto show from Geneva will be the new Alpina B7 xDrive for the first time in real life to behold, today we get, however, a thick envelope with a stack of great photos and an impressive specsheet from the German Buchloe. Under the hood is a 4.4 V8 with two turbo’s with 600 hp and 800 Nm of torque. For comparison, the strongest 7 that BMW offers, the 750i xDrive (driving test), with 450 hp and 650 Nm.

Alpina calls itself the manufacturer, so they came from with some software updates. They tackled the in – and uitlaattraject, intercooler, the turbo and pistons. Gründlich, of course, so you can be sure that you 600 hp strong sedan just very remains.

In the interior, we see not only a fun Alpina-steering wheel, also the digital klokkenwinkel is taken in hand, with a number of different layouts for the tellertjes as a result. The appearance is a little predictable, with the famous blue paint and the veelspaaks Alpina rims. Remarkably enough, is missing the classic Alpina striping, all this undoubtedly on the list of options.

You need from the ‘back seat’ just ‘full Throttle!’ to call and 3.7 seconds later, have you, your driver and your Alpina a speed of 100 kilometers per hour achieved. Depending on the asphalt and the nerves of the same driver, and a top speed of 310 kilometers per hour.
