First look at Alpina’s upcoming B3 Biturbo

These images reveal Alpina’s new twin-turbo B3 coupe, ahead of its expected unveiling at next week’s Geneva Motor Show. The car is based on the already potent twin-turbo 335i coupe from BMW and is said to develop close to 360hp and 500Nm of torque from its force-fed 3.0L straight-six engine. That’s an extra 60hp and 100Nm over the official ratings for the standard E92 335i.

With its electronic speed limiter removed, the Alpina B3 should reach up to 285km/h and complete the 0-100km/h sprint in less than 5 seconds, a significant improvement over its sedan-based D3 cousin. Another highly tuned model based on the 5-series sedan is also rumored to be making a showing in Geneva. The car will be an upgraded version of the twin-turbo B5 model, and is expected to deliver even more than the current car’s output of 500hp and 700Nm of torque.

Automobile Magazine dyno'd a factory 335i, and it was pumping out 350 hp and 360 lb/ft of torque. Car and Driver got the 0-60 in 4.8 sec out of the sedan.

I would think Alpina would get around 400 hp out of the 335i, and a more siginificant speed increase.

Bad stuff?

Yeah, BMW's really understating the times. I bet the new M3 will be rated at 4.8ish seconds but will actually do low-4s.
