The new Alpina’s D5 Biturbo is the car with the most powerful 3.0 turbodiesel engine in the world. Based on the 535d model and powered by BMW’s famous in line 6 twin turbo diesel engine, this car boasts a maximum output of 350hp, which is significantly more than the 313hp of the original version. This result has been achieved thanks to the fine work done on cooling system and intercooler (which now features 2 oil-water heat exchangers). Moreover, the electronics of the 8 speed ZF gearbox have been revised as well.
Despite all this power, D5’s average fuel consumption is claimed to be only 6.2l/100km (6.5 for the Touring version), which is a pretty impressive figure considering that the car accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 5.2 seconds (5.3 for the wagon version), has a top speed of 270km/h (266) and CO2 emission of 165g/kgm (172 for the wagon). Also the tyres fitted on the 20′ alloy wheels are quite impressive: 255/35 on the front and 285/30 on the rear.
