Alpina B12 5.7

The B12 5,7 Coupé is the fastest car Alpina have ever made.
It is based on the BMW 850CSi which came in fall 1992 and the B12 came about a half year later.
Alpina have admitted that with the 850 CSi, BMW and BMW Motorsport have done a terrific job so their idea with the B12 5,7 was just to enchance a few things on the CSi.

The functional feature of the front spoiler and rear skirt with its wing-like profile is improved downforce.
