Cars Showroom: BMW Alpina

For those who appreciate the luxury and refinement of the 7 Series but crave more power, a sports tuned suspension, and driving excitement, the 2008 BMW Alpina may have the ingredients to satisfy all appetites. The Alpina does not disappoint when it comes to power: its 500hp 4.4 Liter V8 creates 516 ft-lbs of torque @ 4250 rpm. To throw a 4-door sedan from 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds takes phenomenal power and a car body that has been engineered to run fast. Alpina has many key structural and mechanical components which are machined out of lightweight aluminum. The Alpina of today offers a number of performance options that can enhance its handling and stability including the aforementioned sports tuned suspension with Active Roll Stabilization. To minimize roll when cornering, sensors activate servos that twist the front and rear anti-roll bars in the Alpina to counter the roll force caused by the turn. A specially designed Alpina body kit is available with spoiler and other aerodynamic skirts to decrease wind resistance. Look for special 21 inch Alpina wheels which are especially light and exhibit incredibly low rolling resistance. Alpina interior appointments span an array of materials and textures including lustrous alloys, natural wood grains, and premium fabrics such as Alcantara synthetic hide. Combining the mesmerizing premium sound system and the other marvelous technological features in the Alpina elevates this luxury sedan to a class by itself. For BMW aficionados, the 2008 BMW Alpina answers the question of how to improve the hands-down favorite luxury sedan: you make it fly.
