Following it’s unveiling at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show earlier this year; this high performance model from Alpina will be in the market from July this year, with deliveries available through Sytner.

Along with its unique style and high performance engine, it also comes with a switchable six-speed automatic transmission staying faithful to the Alpina ethos that the sporting nature of its cars should not compromise luxury, comfort and everyday usability.
