Alpina, the automobile manufacturing company based in Buchloe, unveiled earlier this week their latest model based on the BMW 7 Series. The Alpina B7 BiTurbo long wheelbase version is similar to the shorter B7 which debuted at Geneva Motor Show in March.

Powered by a V8 4.4 liter twin-turbo engine, Alpina manages to squeeze out 507 horsepower and an impressive 516 lb-ft of torque. Official numbers show the Alpina B7 LWB running from 0 to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds.

The speed limit has also been raised to 173 mph (280km/h). The B7 uses the automatic “SwitchTronic” gearbox, of course, rear-wheel-drive transmission. All that power and balance needs to be kept in place, so Alpina packs the B7 with 245 and 285 tires, and sitting on custom 21″ wheels branded now with the famous Alpina logo.

Now all of these technical terms sound impressive on paper, but how about we take a look at some of the latest wallpapers and enjoy the amazing design from Alpina.
