The 2011 BMW Alpina B5 Biturbo Touring made its debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. The station wagon version of the B5 Biturbo will be equipped with the same powertrain as the sedan. This means that it will be offered with a 507 hp and 700 Nm twin-turbocharged 4.4 liter V8 unit, which is mated to an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox. The sedan can go from zero to 62mph in 4.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 191 mph (307.5 km/h).
Meanwhile, the “family man” version’s acceleration time is 4.8 seconds and offers a top speed of 187 mph (301 km/h). According to a statement from the company, the BMW ALPINA B5 Bi-Turbo offers a new dimension from the “finely honed balance between athleticism, comfort and every-day luxury” that ALPINA automobiles have been known for in the past decades.
The company also said that in the last 35 years, five different generations of 5 Series-based ALPINA automobiles were developed. It stated that the sixth generation takes the “finest ingredients” of the older generations to use on its high performance luxury cars.
