Ahead of the Geneva Auto Show, Alpina decided to unveil their latest B6 GT3 model. Based on the BMW 6 Series Coupe, Alpina returns to FIA GT3 European Championships. with their GT3 race car.
Delivering 530 hp and 720 Nm of torque from a supercharged 4.4 liter V8 engine, the Alpina B6 GT3 will be offered to both individual customers and race teams. It uses a 6-speed sequential gearbox and only weighs 2,976 lbs.
Top speed? 177 mph and accelerates from 0-62 mph in 3.9 seconds.
Geneva Auto Show seems to be quite interesting this year and especially, very important for BMW. From what I was told, a couple of concepts will be unveiled there. Oh, did I mention that next week we will finally see the BMW Progressive Activity Sedan?

Need wallpapers please!!
The color leaves me speechless. heh heh.
Glad to see Alpina back in racing but man thsi thing is ugly as shit!
Hey, you guys got mentioned on edmunds.com about Bangle leaving BMW design.
@Gil: Cool, thanks!
I wish BMW took that car, added 100lbs of sound insulation, and sold it. maybe less bodywork, but you get my point
This thing weighs like 200lbs less than a Z4 M Coupe – seems awfully heavy for a racecar?
Same top speed as my 645ci.
Comparing it to the Audi R8 LMS GT3 and the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, it is the heaviest:
1350kg vs. 1250kg vs. 1225kg
It is also the most powerful:
390 kW vs. 372 kW vs. 361 kW
And it also has mountains of torque:
725 Nm vs. 500 Nm vs. 435 Nm
That much torque is going to launch it up Eau Rouge like a missle!!
It does have a face only a mother could love but, it’s a 6 series, it’s an Alpina, and it’s a Race Car…. technically it’s my dream car! So, I love it, rancid livery and all!!
thanks for the wallpapers, Horatiu!
