Alpina has just released an intriguing teaser image
previewing its upcoming D5 S performance sedan. The D5 S will essentially be a
tricked-out BMW 5-Series diesel but equipped with all the performance gains and
trimmings which Alpina is synonymous for. The teaser itself shows off the blue
gauge cluster of the car featuring a speedometer stretching to 330 km/h and a
5,500 rpm redline.
The D5 S will receive sports
suspension from Alpina, new 20-inch forged wheels, Active Steering, all-wheel
drive as standard and P Zero tires specially developed by Pirelli.
The left-hand drive D5 S offered
in sedan and touring guises will deliver 382 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque from
its 3.0-liter diesel straight-six engine, allowing it to reach 100
km/h in a brisk 4.4 seconds and a 286 km/h top speed. As for the right-hand drive model, available solely
as a sedan, its 3.0-liter straight-six will be capped at 321 hp and 516 lb-ft.
