Video: Refreshed Alpina B6 Hits the Nurburgring - GTspirit
While the Alpina B6 is far from a track-tuned or track-focused monster, testing at ‘Green Hell’ should help shake out any potential niggles or small faults with the car. The body of the Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe is manufactured in the BMW 6-Series factory and hand-finished with Alpina components in Buchloe, Germany. With that in mind, the four-door Gran Coupe gets a new front spoiler and fascia with a subtly-revised BMW kidney grill. A new Alpina hood also adds to the unique style while NACA air channels at the front of the underbody suck cold air into the braking system. All this is delivered through an Alpina improved xDrive system for a 0 – 96 km/h acceleration time of just 3. 6 seconds and a maximum speed of 320 km/h. The performance is turned to the road through an Alpina Switch-Tronic 8-Speed automatic transmission provided by ZF. In ‘D’ mode the torque converter provides for smooth changes.
