New Alpina D5 Biturbo Unveiled - PistonHeads Headlines

The headline stats are that Alpina has squeezed 345bhp from the BMW 3.0-litre twin-turbo diesel. This equates to a top speed of 168mph and 0-62mph in 5.2secs.

Perhaps more impressive, however, is the fact that Alpina has managed to do so while maintain the same fuel economy rating (45.6mpg) as the 241bhp 530d.

You can't beat German tech.

A Ferrari 348 from the early nineties:

Engine: DOHC, 32 Valve V8, 3405 cc
Power: 300 bhp (224 kW) @ 7200 rpm
Transmission: 5-speed manual
Chassis: Steel platform & sub-frame
Suspension: Independent all round
Brakes: 4 wheel Disk ABS
Max. Speed: 275 km/h (171+ mph)
Acceleration: 0–100 km/h (62 mph): 5.4 s (as stated in owners manual)
0–161 km/h (100 mph): 12.2 s

Less power, slower to 62 mph, only 3 MPH faster.

That's progress.
