The history of Alpina: do you know that...?

1. The company was established in 1965 by Burkard Bovensiepen who started his automotive career with the development of a double carburettor for BMW.
2. In 1968, the Alpina team debuted in motorsports. In 1970, 1973 and 1977, the cars of the brand won the European Touring Car Championship.
3. The high-tech Alpina parts are famous all over the world. In 1985, the company started to produce exclusive metal catalytic converters implementing the technologies of the German company Emitec. Ten years later, the world saw a new car, the B12 5.7 E-KAT fitted with a revolutionary electro catalytic converter called Super-Cat with the innovative technology of exhaust emission control. This part was a joint development of the company with BMW and Emitec companies.
4. One more pioneering invention belongs to the company. In 1992, there was launched a car that was the first on to be fitted with a clutch electronic control system called Shift-Tronic. It was the B12 5.7 Coupé with a six-speed transmission.
5. The most famous and best-selling model of the make was the B10 Bi-Turbo based on the BMW 535i E34 of 1989. With the maximum speed of over 290 km/h, this car became the fastest mass production saloon of that time.

Specific features of the Alpina vehicles

The Alpina vehicles mean a high quality of hand assembly and customization of every single car unit. All models of the brand are equipped with modern high-tech and eco-friendly petrol or diesel engines Bi Turbo. The D5 S saloon is fitted with a 3 l, six-cylinder engine with three turbochargers and direct injection system, which has the output of 388 horsepower.

A distinctive feature of the cars from that brand are innovative control systems. The special Sport+ mode of the new Alpina B7 BiTurbo adjusts the transmission and suspension settings, increasing manoeuvrability and stability at a high speed. When driving at the speed over 220 km/h, the clearance of the B7 becomes 2 cm smaller, providing a lower centre of gravity. The all-wheel-drive system by BMW called xDrive distributes the torque between the front and rear axles in a second, providing the best traction and steering response. The Alpina vehicles are distinguished by their exclusive design and high-quality leather and wood used for the interior trim.
