A leather lined cruise missile with room for seven
Look, Alpina can only work with what it’s given. While we all coo over the B3 and B5 Tourings, since 2020 there have been 2,880 reasons for your favourite automotive tuner to continue bejewelling a great big lug of an SUV.
So welcome to the latest Alpina XB7 – the ‘Manufaktur’ – which finishes BMW’s hulking great SUV in an Incredible Hulk paintjob and gives it the power to match.Meet the Lamborghini Temerario in all its 900+hp electrified gloryTaking the M60i as its base, Alpina has once again turned up the venerable 4.4-liter biturbo V8 from the not-at-all-standard car’s 523bhp to a heady 613hp and 800Nm of torque. That’s then channelled to all four wheels via an eight-speed auto, allowing for 0-100kph in 4.
There’s air suspension, with the dampers and kinematics treated to Alpina’s own setup and depending on your chosen setup – via drive modes – the ability to lower the car by up to 40mm. The torsion- and dome-bulkhead struts have been reinforced, as have the rear axle bushings. Be honest, you’re all here for reinforced dome-bulkhead struts.
The green you see here is available alongside the classic Alpina blue at no extra cost, but other, more incorrect colours are available. There’s a new “more prominent” rear diffuser on board, capping off the Alpina-specific bodykit.There’s yet more Alpina-ness inside the cabin, like 427 individual pieces of leather that have been cut, split and stitched together to form the ‘Lavalina’ interior. It’s apparently Alpina’s most elaborate leather interior in its nearly 60 years.
Worth it for Alpina, of course. As we noted at the top, it’s built 2,880 XB7s since the car’s 2020 launch, with around 550 of those residing in Europe. Prices for this new 2.7-ton Manufaktur start at €190,500 , which is a lot to work with.See Also Read Next Meet the Lamborghini Temerario in all its 900+hp electrified glory View other articles about:
