StarLight presents another Alpina, this time the latest version of the Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo with 540 horsepower.
It evolves typical Alpina virtues and design cues in a new and convincing fashion, with a refreshing and dynamic appearance.
This Alpina can look a BMW M5 square in the eyes!
Alpina automobiles are defined by their finely balanced mix of driving dynamics, comfort and everyday luxury. Add to that exceptional functionality and the result is the Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo.
In Touring form, the B5 Bi-Turbo smartly combines the exclusive sophistication of the Saloon with pronounced functionality and versatility. Make no mistake, the Touring offers up to 1670 litres of storage space and an ingenious luggage compartment concept, despite its luxury high performance genes.
A finely honed suspension and chassis configuration combined with variable dampers makes for an exemplary ride comfort while simultaneously providing sharp handling and excellent high-speed stability.
The V8 Bi-Turbo accelerates the Saloon from 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds while 730 Nm of torque paired with the exceptional 8-speed sport automatic transmission with switch-tronic means power is always readily available. Modern, dynamic and well toned in appearance – the B5 Bi-Turbo has all the right visual qualities to make it the perfect companion for business and leisure.
Two Honeywell-Garrett turbochargers sit inside the V of the two cylinder banks, working in parallel to force-feed the 4.4l all-aluminium V8 engine producing 540 horsepower.
