2009 Alpina B6 GT3 news, pictures, and information

Making its debut at the 2009 Geneva Auto Show, this supercharged coupe is intended for the race track and not the show circuit. This BMW Alpina B6 GT3 was created to compete in the FIA GT3 European Championship series. This vehicle is very important as it is Alpina's first FIA GT3 racer in two decades. The car is based on BMW's 6 Series and fitted with a supercharged 4.4-liter V8 engine that produces 530PS and 725NM of torque. This power is sent to the 18-inch Michelin wheels via a six-speed sequential gearbox. 0-100KM/h should take about 3.9 seconds for this lightweight, 1350KG race car. It has a recorded top speed of 285km/h. More details should be released once its official debut at the 2009 Geneva Auto Show.
