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 guiding principle behind the development of a bodystyling kit for the 8-series coupé was to achieve a functional design which complemented the overall appearance of the standard model.

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

A special rear wing was also developed to reduce lift on the rear.

The side skirts have air inlets underneath, directing extra cooling air to the rear brakes.

The 8-series BMW with progressive suspension and the extra-large 18-inch wheels is a car that even looks as if it has perfect road grip.

The elegance of the purist wheel design displays the perfect compromise between the need to express both technical competence and sportiness.
