Alpina latest B3 sedan and touring wagon versions have been unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show today.
Sharing the same twin-turbo 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine and a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, both of them have a whooping 410 HP under the bonnet and 442 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 rpm.

As we already told you before Geneva, the B3 can achieve a 0 to 62 mph sprint in just 4.0 seconds and a top speed of 190 mph (306 km/h), while fuel economy is quoted at 30.9 miles per gallon (7.6 liters / 100 km).

The new Alpinas can be ordered with optional all-wheel-drive for more traction and active safety (coming from BMW's xDrive), but the system is not available in right hand drive markets. Leather upholstery, electrically adjustable heated sports seats, automatic climate control and xenon headlights come as standard features.

The car's exclusivity seems complete once we take a look at the hand-stitched lavalina leather that wraps the sports steering wheel, or the refined materials found in the cabin.
