bmw Alpina B7

By selecting as the basis for the B7 the BMW 750i, with its V-8 engine and regular-wheelbase platform, Alpina could achieve a vehicle weight some 400 pounds lighter than that of the 760Li – a benefit in terms of agility and maneuverability. Then, to attain a power target of 500 hp, Alpina added a supercharger to the V-8 engine, which adds little weight but lots of horses.
