Semi-official BMW tuner Alpina has given the world some
fantastically tweaked cars over the years, the latest of which is the 600-horsepower
B7 based on the 7-Series.
As you may have noticed, Alpina tends to step where BMW's
own tuner, the M division, doesn't dare tread, and it looks like the next
offering will be based on the X7.
The B7 packs a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V-8
conservatively rated at 600 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. It also
features a sport exhaust, a reworked 8-speed automatic transmission, and
track-tuned suspension. All of these features installed in the X7 would make
for an impressive SUV, and don't forget that Alpina offers tuned versions of
the X3 and X4 overseas, so the company has some experience working on SUVs.
