The new Alpina B4 Gran Coupé has been presented in society. The new sports car signed by the specialist Alpina hits the market with the aim of positioning itself as an alternative to the model that BMW M does not want to make, the long-awaited BMW M4 Gran Coupé. In addition, it will offer a plus of practicality compared to the BMW M3.
The wait is over. The new and long-awaited model of Alpina has been presented in society. The new Alpina B4 Gran Coupe 2022 bursts into society with a clear objective, to capture the attention of the public that would traditionally have opted for a BMW M4 Gran Coupé. A model that BMW M rules out developing because the sports brand understands that its gap is occupied by the BMW M3 and the i4.
It is also important to take into account the fact that we are dealing with the first model presented by alpine since it was acquired by the BMW Group. The well-known BMW brand car preparation specialist becomes part of one of the most important automobile conglomerates worldwide. The new B4 Gran Coupé takes as its starting point the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé that we can find in our dealerships.
The keys to the new Alpina B4 Gran Coupé 2022
Just take a quick look at the images that accompany this article to discover the subtle changes the Alpina team has made to the exterior design. The new B4 Gran Coupé is equipped with a body kit that includes such interesting components as a rear spoiler and a new front lip. To this must be added some 20-inch forged alloy wheels with the Alpina badge and wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires.
Leaving aside the outside, if we go into the interior of the new B4 Gran Coupe we will quickly be enveloped by a warm and elegant atmosphere. The seats and the multifunction steering wheel are upholstered in Lavalina leather and have contrast stitching. The badge of the German specialist also makes an appearance on the steering wheel. Another detail to note is the identification plate with the unit number next to the gear lever.
The engine of the new Alpina B4 Gran Coupé 2022
Beyond the changes that have occurred visually or in interior finishes, what is truly important is under the hood. The new B4 Gran Coupé is powered by a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder petrol engine which develops a power of 495 hp and 730 Nm of maximum torque. A block associated with an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox and an xDrive all-wheel drive system.
These figures place it well above the current BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupé, the top-of-the-range model that has 374 hp. And what is equally relevant, it is dangerously close to the 510 hp that the current BMW M3 Competition develops.
Alpina’s new model can be catapulted from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. The maximum speed reaches 301 km/h since it does not have any type of electronic limitation. Recall that, for example, the M3 Competition has a maximum speed limited to 250 km / h.
Release date and price of the new Alpina B4 Gran Coupe 2022
When will it hit the market? Alpina has indicated that the order book for the new B4 Gran Coupé is now open in Europe. The first deliveries are scheduled for the summer of 2022. And more specifically for the month of July. The starting price in Germany is set at €91,800. Its arrival in North America and other markets far from European territory will take place before the end of the year.
