When the Alpina folks take a BMW 7-series and turn it into the feisty Alpina B7, they extract 500 hp from the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 engine. That’s a lot of power for just two drive wheels, so BMW will introduce an xDrive all-wheel-drive version of the B7 at the New York auto show.
As before, you can pick from standard- or extended-wheelbase models, and now between rear and all-wheel drive. Other specs will probably match those of the rear-drive model; click here for the full rundown on that car. We wonder whether the extra traction will improve on the B7’s quoted 4.7-second 0-to-62-mph time. Details to follow once the New York show gets underway next week.
