Despite being a well-respected outfit for decades, <a href="https://www.autoblog.com/tag/alpina/">Alpina</a> remains something of a mystery to many stateside <a href="https://www.autoblog.com/tag/bmw/">BMW</a> fans. In Europe, Alpina has established itself as a first-rate source for breathed-upon high-performance Bimmers, and it's looking to continue picking up traction on our shores. The US has received a handful of Alpina models through BMW factory channels, namely the 7-Series-based <a href="https://www.autoblog.com/bmw/alpina+b7/">B7</a>, and now we're getting another fast four-door with the debut of the <a href="https://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/05/2015-bmw-alpina-b6-xdrive-gran-coupe-new-york-official-poll/">BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe</a> at today's <a href="https://www.autoblog.com/new-york-auto-show/">2014 New York Auto Show</a>.<br />
<br />
The B6 Gran Coupe stands as an interesting sibling to the factory's <a href="https://www.autoblog.com/bmw/m6+gran+coupe/">M6 Grand Coupe</a>. Both are propelled by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, but the tunes are quite different. The Alpina produces 540 horsepower and 540 pound-feet of torque, which is 20 hp <em>less </em>than the M6, but with 40 lb-ft <em>more </em>torque. An eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive mean that the B6 is about half a second quicker to 60 miles per hour than BMW's own creation. Plus, the B6 has an unrestricted top speed of 198 mph, making it one seriously rapid <a href="https://www.autoblog.com/bmw/6+series+gran+coupe/">6 Series Gran Coupe</a>.<br />
<br />
The sport sedan also wears other Alpina goodies like 20-inch versions of the brand's 21-spoke wheels and exclusive color options. The B6 Gran Coupe goes for $118,225 (including destination), and will be available through BMW dealers immediately after the auto show ends.
