Alpina has such close ties to BMW that it has
almost become an extension of the German brand and offers vehicles to suit all
needs and among the very finest is the B7, based around the 7-Series.
Alpina’s take on the range-topping BMW is a true AMG rival and the
following example recently delivered in Abu Dhabi is surely one of the most
spectacular.
For starters, it is the only one painted in this
unique shade dubbed Chestnut Brown and complemented by a Tartufo interior.
Typically, brown cars look horrendous. This Alpina manages to pull it
off thanks to the golden tinge the paint has and the bright gold accents found
on the custom pinstriping and badging. A set of tightly-spoked silver wheels
then complete the exterior looks.
Inside, the seats have been bathed in a sophisticated
shade of brown and complemented by wooden accents and black leather across the
upper half of the dashboard and the steering wheel.
Power comes from a
twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine delivering 600 hp and 580 lb-ft of torque,
enabling the model to accelerate to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds before
topping out at a 330 km/h top speed.
