Like the last-generation ALPINA B7, the new model will likely be powered by a modified version of the BMW 750i sedan’s twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine. The current twin-turbo 4.4-liter engine makes 445 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque and it’s expected that the B7 engine will be boosted to 600 horsepower and 501 lb-ft of torque.

The 2016 BMW 750i xDrive heaves itself from 0-60 mph in just 4.3 seconds with merely 445 hp, so it’s all but certain the new B7 will knock that number down below 4 seconds.

ALPINA’s new B7 Biturbo will be offered with a short or long wheelbase, and with rear and all-wheel drive available. Externally, the sedan from Buchloe will go through the typical ALPINA design process – a new set of wheels, a slightly redesigned front and rear bumper, a discrete boot lid and a custom exhaust system with two oval tailpipes.

Bespoke leather, wood trim, gauges, color options and an ultra high-end sound system are likely to appear as well.
