The Alpina B6 is a 2-door coupé / 2-door convertible / 4-door sedan (car) / saloon (gran coupé) from Alpina, built from 2011 to 2019, as electrification stopped being an experiment and the crossover took every market. Under the bonnet: 4.4 .
The story
The Alpina B6 (F12) is the third generation of the high performance grand tourer manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Alpina. Introduced at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, the B6 was based on the BMW 6 Series and was available in coupé and convertible body styles, with the latter being introduced at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. A third saloon bodystyle called the gran coupé was introduced in 2014. The Alpina B6 gran coupé was replaced by the Alpina B8 gran coupe (G16) in 2021.
What is underneath
Power comes from 4.4 . It weighs 1945 kg. It shifts through a 8-speed ZF 8HP70 automatic. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Alpina B6 (E63); assembly was at Buchloe, Germany. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Lamborghini Aventador, the Lexus LFA, the Mazda CX-5 — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Alpina catalogue sit the Alpina B10 and the Alpina B10 (E39).
