Alpina has fazed its fans by putting images of the new B6 convertible on its own webpage. A BMW M6 convertible in the body of F12 is not ready to launch in a series-prototypes, wrapped up in camouflage tape, while only rolling test kilometers across Europe. That is, those who lack 407 "horses" of version 650i will have to either wait for "an air-pole" or buy the aforementioned car and turn to the tuners. But it will soon be possible to pay attention to the model of Alpina B6, built on the basis of the top version of "Bavkis". Her debut will take place in less than two weeks. The cat's been crying. There are only photographs that clearly show that the "B-6" front bumper is decorated with a familiar Alpina-plate with two unpainted carbohydrates and a pair of horizontal slicers from the same material adjoining the diabeam running lamps. In the profile, the car, converted by specialists from the town of Buchloré, will help the traditional for Alpina 21-of-wheelers. There are no stern pictures, but the Germans polished to the glare of the Akkrapovic exhaust system decided to show them. Although the automaker does not rush to the official premier to disclose all the technical details, it is easy to understand what will be under the hood of the sports card. There is no doubt that a highly developed supercharged V8 4 engine will be available. 4 with direct injection of petrol, which will be replaced by pistons, turbochargers, intercullers and will reduce the compression ratio from 10: 1 to 9.2: 1 ("snails"-what is known as turbochargers in the case). The aggregate will be 507 forces at 5,500 rpm and 700 Newton metres in the range 3000-4750 rpm. How do we all know that? It's just that the G-8 is equipped with a modification of B5 (sedan and station wagon) and B7. B6 won't be an exception. The pair with the DSC will work "Switch-Tronic" with eight steps. The transmission, by the way, is a system of stopping the fuel feed into the combustion chamber during the change of gear. What for? To reduce the torque on the flywheel for a moment, and thus ensure smooth and fast switching. Authors of Auto Motor und Sport report: The maximum speed of B6 is 311 kilometers per hour, and the acceleration to 100 will take at least 4.8 seconds. For 650i, these values are 250 km/h and 5 respectively. The average cost is 10.9 l/100 km, and the CO2 emission is 255 g/km. Be sure to check the details of your colleagues next week.
