With Geneva just around the corner,next week is going to be awesome. And to prove my point check out the 2009 BMW Alpina B7 Bi-Turbo. Based on an BMW M7, the car is a great mix of power and lux. With a powerful twin-turbocharged, 4.4-liter V8 engine that sports 507 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, it’s supposed to reach 60mph in 4.7 seconds and peaks (electronically) at 173 mph (that’s 280km/h). Although we don’t have all the details, we’re expecting it to hit the floors with an aggressive design, uprated brakes, suspension components and a reworked interior for a comfortable ride.
Celebrating their amazing heritage with over 100 years of experience in building supercars, Bugatti is expected to continue the legend and bring in a new concept for the next week’s Auto Show in Geneva. Dubbed Bugatti Centenaire (great name isn’t it?) it’s not a pimped or facelifted Veyron, but actually a new design that uses a crazy 8.0 liter, 16 cylinder (W16) quad-turbo Bugatti engine that is rumored to output a stunning 1350 hp. None of these have been confirmed yet, but we’re pretty sure the Bugatti stall will be on fire this year. The Frenc definitely know how to make the most of the ultra-luxury brand’s birthday.
