Alpina's 6.0-litre take on BMW's V12 made 424hp with no turbo in sight — still the largest, most powerful naturally aspirated engine Alpina has ever built.
Just 32 Alpina B12 5.7 coupés were built with the automated Shift-Tronic clutch — a rare option on an already rare, 850CSi-based grand tourer.
The B12 5.0 was Alpina's first V12 ever — every Alpina before it, including the B11 it replaced, had made do with a V8.
