2017 Alpina B7 xDrive
The closest BMW that can get directly
rivaling the AMG-powered S-Class or the Audi S8 is by letting Alpina go to town
on their all-new 7-Series.
The 2017 Alpina B7 xDrive, a car that's
powered by a 4.4-liter twin turbo V8, putting down 608 PS between
5,750 and 6,250 rpm, as well as 800 Nm of torque from 3,000 rpm.
Those types of figures allow it to hit 96
km/h in just 3.6 seconds before maxing out at around 311 km/h. In
other words, if not slightly faster than the Audi S8 plus in
terms of acceleration.
The one on display here at BMW's Abu Dhabi
dealership is wearing Java Green Metallic on the outside and a special wooden
trim on the inside (dash, doors, center console), making this cabin slightly
more stylish (and less sporty) than the one in the official Alpina B7 press
images.
This color by the way has made its way into the Abu
Dhabi showroom on several occasions, as this Java Green M4 instantly comes to
mind thanks to its flashy looks and M-Performance bits.
