So, there will be a new Alpina diesel model: get it form m5board.com - to be named D3 BiTurbo - based on the new 123d engine - 214hp/450Nm - Switchtronic optional - to be launched at Geneve motorshow 2008 - initially only available as Coupe, later as Limousine and Touring edit: some data form auto-news: Top Speed: 244 km/h 0-100 km/h: 6,4 sec price: should start at about 41.000 €  <--if this is right, this is going to be a wonderful alternative...       |

ree this is the english press release off the alpinaregister. apparently there was apress embargo on until the ther germans broke the rules  - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER Other Key points Brakes up from the D3 to D3 Bi-Turbo 300mm/300mm fr/rr to 330mm/336mm The engine`s radiator has been increased in size for greater cooling, D3 to D3 Bi-Turbo The manual gearbox is up from the ZF SG6 - 37 to the ZF SG6 - 53 ( the `37` and `53` refering to kg*m of torque) The SWITCH-TRONIC box is straight out of the B3, and loosely based on the 6HP19 TU, with an extra planetary plate and different flywheel for the 100millisec up-shifts in spite of the torque. All driveshafts, the prop-shaft and two half-shafts, have been up-rated for more torque through-put All software is new, with no take-over from D3 to D3 Bi-Turbo Straight exhaust with no rear box, akin to a race exhaust. Meaning better sound and increased throughput, allowing the new D3 to rev to 5,200 rpm. this is all good stuff |
