BMW Alpina B7: Enhanced Performance
Since 1965, car manufacturer Alpina Burkard Bovensiepen has crafted rare and distinctive BMWs, including models now built alongside standard Bimmers before being finished at Alpina’s factory near Munich. The B7 is a stealthy beauty—a 600-horsepower flagship sedan that can cruise to a startling 205 mph on the autobahn or 193 mph for the U.S. version. Power comes from a twin-turbo V-8, while the “plush” takes the form of a beautiful interior with all the toys: massaging seats, sparkling Bowers & Wilkins audio, perfumed ambient air and “Gesture Control” that lets drivers manage functions with midair hand signals.
