2016 BMW Alpina B3 BiTurbo

Bavarian Alpina pulled out all the stops during this year's Tokyo Motor Show, putting some of their most important models on display.
It all starts with the 410 PS B3 BiTurbo sedan and the 600 PS B6 BiTurbo Cabrio Edition 50, which are making their Asian debuts, and world debuts respectively. The B3 BiTurbo features a 3.0-liter straight six bi-turbo engine, good for not just 410 PS but also 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque.
The more powerful B6 Edition 50 model has 600 PS, 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque and is available in Cabriolet form. In a straight line, it can achieve a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph) and hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds, compared to the all-wheel driven B6 BiTurbo Gran Coupe's 3.8 seconds.
The B3 BiTurbo itself is capable of hitting the 100 km/h mark in 4.3 seconds, before maxing out at 303 km/h (188 mph) - comparable to the BMW M3 in terms of sprint time.
