This Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo Touring goes faster than the AMG GT R, 911 GT2 RS

If you are looking for a car that combines sports-grade acceleration with large passenger capacity, look no further than this B5 Bi-Turbo Touring by Alpina. A BMW 5 Series estate/wagon at heart, it packs a superb 4.4-liter V8 twin-turbo rated as high as 608 hp / 453 kW!

Thanks to its impressive powertrain, the AWD car blazes from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds and may ultimately exceed 322 km/h (200 mph). The tuner claims this makes it the fastest-going production estate/wagon on the planet.

Other notable features of the Alpina B5 Bi-Turbo Touring are an eight-speed automatic transmission with torque distribution control, understated looks, and a highly comfortable interior replete with premium trim materials.

The video here shows the tuned-up car easily overtaking a Porsche 911 GT2 RS and a Mercedes-AMG GT R on a straight highway.
