Brakes will only slow you down. Somebody forgot to put calipers on the car. Oh hell while I’m at it… race cars don’t have that tinted looking glass or glass for that matter. The steering wheel is too far forward. Trademark 20 spoke Alpina wheels, you’re kidding right? Chrome window trim, not likely on a race car… I don’t see any sponsor decals or sanctioning/organizing body decals which would implicate some sort of approval of this photoshop for racing use. I’m probably missing all sorts of other things too.
no BBS decal
Alpina only does automatics…
Why is the car in a room intended to break up sound waves and silence noise?
Whats wrong with this picture is that this horrible, awful modification still makes the 6-series look better.
As a I often say to my son as we roll down the road behind some ridiculous car with a giant wing on it:
“inappropriate customization”
(of course, the car in question is usually a clapped-out ’92 Civic with a coffee-can muffler, liberal body damage, and the driver’s seat in the fully-reclined position)
maybe they are inboard brakes at least at the rear?
It’s got a wing more appropriate to a Boeing.
No design has yet approached the beauty/brutality of the racing M635.
What isn’t wrong?
Where’s the parachutes to stop it at the end of the 1/4 mile?
There is no car in that picture…its a computer rendering.
It must be built for drag racing, because there is no way that car can turn left or right as the front wheel well covers the top lip of the tire.
IT would go a lot faster with a VTEC sticker on the windshield.
It looks like the starboard side of the Chance-Vought wing is cantered forward so that one can see that it is a wing, rather than just having a large blue five-sided shape hovering strangely over the the boot. In doing so, they also had to set the starboard side wings strut akimbo so that the wing could be repositioned.
Don’t try this at home, and then drive.
Nothing. Just like there’s nothing wrong with this picture.
It isn’t high enough resolution to see the faint glimmer of the tiny calipers at the leading edge of each brake rotor.
That and there’s side-view mirrors. This looks like it is intended to be a track-only design; how many track cars have exterior side view mirrors? I thought they would break/vibrate off…get a Wink instead.
Why both the gigantor wing AND the decklid extension spoiler? Plus the trailing edge of the front wheel arch bothers me. That’s a very aerodynamically dirty part of vehicles that racing cars typically address with some gap-closing fairing (as was done on the leading edge of the front wheel arch).
p00ch,
that’s is not true, that Alpina builds only automatics.
regarding picture
I’d like to quote BMW CAR magazine, October 2008, from UK:
‘… for 2009 Alpina will be returning to the race tracks fielding a factory team in 2009 FIA GT3 European Championship with a race version of its B6 Coupe.’
Looks like that’s what it is on a picture.
@p00ch :
Alpina only does automatics…
No they don’t. The D3 Biturbo is available with a 6-speed manual.

Big wing? No brakes? I want one.

I stand corrected. I thought their previous models were all automatic.
Alpina tesed its aerodynimic appendaged on a North Corean sound chamber and its sound insulation was performed on a Somali wind tunnel (not pictured).
But pictured is the new rear wing design directkly inspired by Chris Bangle grandmother’s chicken coup in a farm in Ohio.
There’s something on the trunk.
@p00ch :
I stand corrected. I thought their previous models were all automatic.
If you go through their history, you will find more manual-only than auto-only models.
“Oh yeah? How much will it cost me to put it back to stock?”
