B7 Evo car reviews : Alpina B7

[Bartek S.]

Porsche Panamera too fugly? There are alternatives. Try Alpina’s big gun.

Porsche claims there are no direct rivals to the Panamera. It has, apparently, started its own class. However there are always alternatives and if you want to transport four executives across Europe and have £100K to spend to get the job done, then Alpina’s version of the BMW 750i should loom large on your radar.

For a start, it trumps the Panamera Turbo’s power. The addition of a pair of turbochargers and both air-to-water and water-to-air intercoolers to the 750i’s 4.4-litre V8 lifts its output to a mighty 507bhp. And despite weighing in at over two tons, the first time you pull the trigger that power claim feels conservative. Torque is at play here, for the B7 has oodles of the stuff - 516lb ft all the way from 3000 to 4750rpm.
