In the Simulator Feel

The Alpina B7 is a luxury missile with exceptional composure, delivering huge midrange torque and surprising stability for a full-size executive sedan. It does not feel like a track car in the traditional sense; instead, it excels in fast road driving, high-speed sweepers, and smooth corner exits where its xDrive system can put the power down cleanly. The chassis is tuned for refinement first, but it still has the kind of rolling urgency and relentless acceleration that makes it feel far quicker than its size suggests.

Engine & Sound: The twin-turbo V8 has a deep, cultured burble at idle and a heavy, muscular surge under load. It is less aggressive than a pure M car, but the Alpina tune gives it a smooth, elastic power delivery with strong pull from low revs and a satisfying growl as the turbos build boost. In sim, it feels refined, urgent, and perfectly suited to relaxed fast driving.

Handling Characteristics:

  • Cornering: Stable and predictable, with mild understeer if pushed hard into tight bends.

  • Traction: Excellent grip off the line and on corner exit thanks to AWD and wide road tires.

  • Braking: Strong for a car of this size, though weight transfer is always present and must be managed.

  • Top Speed: Extremely strong high-speed performance, especially in long straights and autobahn-style sections.

Driving Style Tip: Drive it smoothly and let the torque do the work. It rewards tidy inputs, early throttle application, and confidence at speed more than aggressive late-braking or heavy trail braking. It shines on fast road circuits, touring-style events, and any layout where momentum matters.

Livery & Aesthetics: The B7 looks understated but unmistakably special, with Alpina’s signature wheels, subtle aero details, elegant badging, and a tailored executive presence. The Exclusive Edition treatment gives it a more bespoke, high-end look that fits the car’s grand-touring character perfectly.

Whether you're cruising, hot lapping, or chasing top-end speed, the Alpina B7 Exclusive Edition Bi-Turbo xDrive G12 delivers effortless performance with true German luxury flair.
