Few sportscars can emulate the ease which the supercharged V8 BMW ALPINA B6 S fuses seemingly incompatible qualities together. Enormous speed and power blend with luxury, comfort and relaxed control, creating a single harmonious entity.
The B6 S unifies the elegant appearance of a Gran Tourismo with the performance of a super-sportscar. Numbers are not enough to communicate the Coupé's acceleration accurately – in 4.5 seconds from 0-100km/h (0-62mph) from a standing start. The 300km/h (186mph) mark passes by in less than 60 seconds, an experience that has to be experienced to be believed.
To satisfy our most sport-oriented customers, the BMW ALPINA B6 S comes with a torque-sensing limited-slip differential as standard, developed in cooperation with Drexler Motorsport. The locking effect amounts to 30% under acceleration and 20% on a trailing throttle. This concept improves directional stability and vehicle control under weight transfer during cornering, especially during load changes.
Developed in co-operation with SACHS Race Engineering, the electronically-controlled adjustable damping, called EDC, comes as standard on the B6 S. The dampers automatically increase their resistance in a fraction of a second to help ensure safe driving. The more sport-oriented driver can also manually select firmer damper settings in advance, using the EDC button located on the centre console.
I am a BMW Lover. Everytime I see BMW, new or old (does not matter) I stare at it. I just have passion for BMWs. Seeing that car, it looks amazing and I wish I had one in my garage. Awhile ago, when I visited the Chicago Auto Show (back in February). You can check the site of the auto show http://www.chicagoautoshow.com I had the opportunity to sit in 2009 BMW M6 Alpina. Since then I fall in love with the Alpina tuning company. http://www.alpina-automobiles.com - Here you can find out more about the tuning company. It is truly amazing.
So what do you think? Doesnt it look good? What do you think, all of you BMW lovers?
