IAA 2011: Alpina Charges into Frankfurt with the B6 Bi-Turbo Cabrio

The pride and joy of the Alpina stand in Frankfurt is the new B6 Bi-Turbo Cabrio based on the new BMW 650i Convertible.

The German tuning house has beaten its factory support to the punch with a high-performance version of the roofless 6-Series that boasts an uprated 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine generating 507-horsepower and 700Nm (516.3 lb-ft) of peak torque between 3,000 and 4,750 rpm.

No comments

For more than four decades now, German tuning house Alpina has been modifying BMWs cars. The Bavarian luxury carmaker has a tight relationship with the tuner going as far distributing the high-performance models through its official network.

Alpina's newest creation is the B6 Bi-Turbo Cabrio based on the latest 6-Series Convertible, which will make its world premiere at the rapidly approaching Frankfurt auto show on September 13.

The spectators at last weekend’s ADAC GT Masters championship at the Nürburgring witnessed a horrific crash involving Alex Plenagl and his BMW Alpina B6 GT3 racecar when the driver lost control of the vehicle and strayed off the course at a high speed.

Plenagl’s Alpina flew over the safety barriers, passed through a BMW sign and crashed onto the concrete wall.

U Spy: Is this the New Alpina B6 Based on the 2012 BMW 6-Series Coupe?

No comments

Back in April, BMW lifted the covers off its spanking new 2012 6-Series Coupe at the Shanghai Auto Show in China. Having already shown the Convertible version, the only model left to complete the series is the presentation of the M6 in both coupe and open top forms. Well, at least in absolute terms, as we’ve yet to hear from BMW’s longtime tuner, Alpina, which is considered a manufacturer in its own right.

And that’s where Carscoop reader Michael from Germany steps in. Michael spotted this partially camouflaged 2012 BMW 6-Series Coupe parked somewhere in Munich. And while the lack of any aero parts such as the typical M-style front bumper with larger air vents minimize the possibility of it being the new M6, there are two elements that make us believe it could be the upcoming Alpina B6.
