The new BMW Alpina B6 Bi-Turbo Gran Coupe features some awareness-raising attributes, breaking new ground and exciting the senses in a special way.

The stainless steel exhaust system with trademark elliptical twin tailpipes returns a deep exhaust note which is prominent but not intrusive - while an optional titanium exhaust system from Akrapovic is also available

Bundled with BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive technology, the B6 Gran Coupe blasts to the century mark from nought in a dizzying 3.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 318km/h - making it the fastest accelerating BMW Alpina to date.

Advanced electronic suspension technologies such as Dynamic Damper Control and Adaptive Drive work in unison with the fully variable torque distribution of the xDrive to achieve neutral, agile driving dynamics.

Direct injection and valvetronic contribute to the B6 Bi-Turbo Gran Coupe's low consumption and emission figures of just 9.6km/L and CO₂ emissions of 242g/km in the combined cycle.

Typical design features of Alpina blend seamlessly and elegantly into the contours of the Gran Coupe and accentuate its sporty, powerful appearance. In particular, the 20-inch Alpina Classic light alloy wheels complement the long, smooth proportions of the Gran Coupe.

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 systems.

Special NACA air channels at the front of the underbody suck cold air towards the high performance brake system measuring 374mm and 345mm, front and rear respectively.

The Blue Alpina instruments, hand stitched steering wheel in Lavalina leather and illuminated door sills are just some of the exclusive features of the Gran Coupe's interior. However Alpina is willing to accommodate any custom request from customers - ranging from paintwork and interior trim to the colour and detailing of the upholstery.

The 4.4-litre V8 engine in the Alpina B6 Bi-Turbo Gran Coupe develops 540bhp and a high 730Nm of torque available between 2,800 and 5,000rpm. The bi-turbo lump is linked to a capable ZF eight-speed transmission with Alpina Switch-Tronic for a creamy power delivery.
