Enlarge PhotoAs for the engine, the unit has been developed completely new from the ground up and is rated at 536hp (400kW) and 553lb-ft (750Nm) of torque. Importantly, this peak torque is available from a low 1,500rpm. This achieved with the full gamut of BMW’s latest engine technology, including twin-turbocharging, direct-injection and double-VANOS camshaft adjustment.
No independent testing has been completed but according to BMW’s own numbers the V12 powers the 7-series from 0-62mph in less than 4.6 seconds, while also returning a respectable 18mpg (13L/100km) fuel economy for the European cycle.
In determining the cars’ fuel consumption, BMW engineers already took the stricter EU5 emission standard into account, meaning fuel consumption is down by approximately 4.5% versus the former model.
Standard features include damping control and roll stability, as well as self-leveling air suspension on the long-wheelbase model, and optional active steering. Other safety features include lane-change and lane-departure warning systems, active cruise control, night vision, heads-up-display, reversing camera, and adaptive headlights.

thats extremly impressive!
We are talking about a super luxary car here. My dad has the 2005 750li and thats just super quik of the lights, beats most cars and its just great because you dont compremise on safety, luxary etc....
But this new 760LI,
4.5 secounds!!!! thats M teritory!
Good question NoNameDenton, i think it may be
the roller is on the same platform, a bit of skin changes, and the engine is tuned down for more low end torque and a lower redline... Rollers arent supposed to scream after all.
Alpina mods look really good though. Also you are forgetting they do more mods for the lower end cars in the BMW lineup. Their diesel 3-series sounds like a cracker.
