An astonishing new generation of ultra-high-performance diesel saloons and estates has been launched by Alpina, one of the world’s most highly-regarded manufacturers of bespoke luxury cars. With 350 hp and a remarkable 700 Nm of torque, the new D3 Bi-Turbo will catapult its occupants from zero to 100 kph in just 4.6 seconds and on to 278 kph, yet has combined cycle fuel economy of 18.8 km/liter and CO2emissions of just 139 g/km.
“What makes these figures even more remarkable is that the D3 Bi-Turbo is also a luxury car that delivers its world-beating performance alongside uncompromising comfort and refinement,” comments Matthew Stripling, Sales Manager at Alpina GB. “The new six cylinder D3 has a wonderful bespoke feel that touches all the senses to make every journey a pleasure, whether commuting to work or powering through the mountains.”
Based on BMW’s latest generation 3-Series, the D3 Bi-Turbo is the result of a two year development program during which every aspect of the vehicle was analyzed and refined to increase performance, comfort and style. Using design and validation processes identical to those implemented by BMW, Alpina’s team of 50 development engineers worked with specialist suppliers to enhance the engine, gearbox, cooling system, body structure, wheels, tyres, aerodynamics, suspension and interior.
