2014 Alpina BMW B6 Bi-Turbo Gran Coupe - EXTERIOR and DESIGN

2014 Alpina BMW B6 Bi-Turbo Gran Coupe - EXTERIOR and DESIGN. Once again the latest creation from Alpina sets new standards in terms of driving dynamics, aesthetics and exclusivity. Furthermore, the new BMW Alpina B6 Bi-Turbo Gran Coupé features some awareness raising attributes, breaking new ground and exciting the senses in a special way.

The powerful 4.4 liter V8 Bi-Turbo engine develops 397 kW (540 hp), a mighty 730 Nm of torque and is mated to the excellent ZF 8-Speed Sport Automatic Transmission with Alpina Switch-Tronic for super smooth and harmonious power delivery. Coupled with BMW's xDrive technology and a performance-oriented layout of the all-wheel drive system, this drivetrain delivers exceptional performance. With a 0 - 100 km/h acceleration time of only 3.9 seconds, the new B6 Bi-Turbo Gran Coupé is the fastest accelerating BMW Alpina to date!

Advanced electronic suspension technologies such as Dynamic Damper Control (electronically adjustable dampers) and Adaptive Drive (active roll stabilisation) work together with the fully variable torque distribution of the all-wheel drive system to achieve very neutral, agile driving dynamics which meet the highest demands on comfort and sportiness. Maximum traction, especially on slick road surfaces or in wintery weather make the B6 Bi-Turbo Gran Coupé a perfect companion in all conditions.

The first 'four-door Coupé' in the Alpina model line-up presents itself as an elegantly stretched athlete with powerful lines. The BMW designers have accomplished a masterpiece with perfect proportions. A in comparison to the 6 Series Coupé 113 mm longer wheelbase connects short overhangs with an elegantly flowing roof line. The Alpina typical design features blend seamlessly and elegantly into the contours of the Gran Coupé and accentuate its sporty, powerful appearance.

The Alpina typical design features blend seamlessly and stylishly into the surfaces and lines of the Gran Coupé, accentuating its dynamic, powerful appearance. In particular the delicate, elegant design of the 20'' Alpina CLASSIC light alloy wheels complement the long, smooth proportions of the Gran Coupé.

Although aesthetics play a central role, the design and shape of the exterior components is also subject to strict aerodynamics premises. The front spoiler with integrated, slightly forward positioned splitter directs more air over and around rather than underneath the vehicle thereby stabilising the front-end at high speeds. The design of the front spoiler ensures the effective flow of sufficient air to various radiator modules of the performance cooling-system, including inter-cooler, water and oil. Special NACA air channels at the front of the underbody suck cold air towards the high-performance brake system measuring 374 mm front and 345 mm rear. Together the front and rear spoiler significantly reduce uplift to almost zero.

The B6 Bi-Turbo Gran Coupé features a very comprehensive, comfort-orientated range of standard equipment. This includes but is not limited to leather upholstery, electrically adjusted comfort seats with seat heating, navigation system with Bluetooth mobile phone preparation and ConnectedDrive technology, xenon headlights and LED fog lights.

The Blue Alpina instruments, the hand-stitched steering wheel in Lavalina leather, the door sill trims with blue illuminated Alpina logo or the classic Alpina luxury wood trim in Myrtle or Piano lacquer and production plaque - these are just some of the exclusive features of the B6 Bi-Turbo Gran Coupé's interior.
