BMW ALPINA B7 (2010-)
Alpina Burkard Bovensiepen GmbH has produced the ALPINA B7 Bi-Turbo performance variant, also known as the BMW 750i Alpina B7, for the F01/02 7 Series commencing with the 2011 model year. The Alpina B7s engine is assembled by hand at Alpinas facility in Buchloe, Germany, before being shipped to BMW for installation, and the assembled vehicle is then sent back to Alpina for finishing touches.
Alpinas variant of the N63 twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 makes 507 PS (373 kW; 500 hp) / 700 N·m (516 lb·ft), while retaining the same fuel economy as the regular N63. This is the first time that BMW M and Alpina are using the same type of forced-induction for their powerplants; Alpinas engine has less horsepower but more torque than the BMW M5 (F10).
Alpinas modifications to the standard N63 include high-performance pistons and reinforced cylinder heads to withstand the additional stress from a higher compression ratio. A larger intercooler, with a 35-percent increase in surface area, is fitted to lower intake temperatures. An additional radiator lowers coolant temperatures, and external coolers are added for the engine and transmission oil. The electric fan is also upgraded to increase airflow through the new high-performance components. To move more oxygen through the engine, larger and lighter turbochargers (the vanes measure 44 mm in diameter) are fitted to keep the whole package running smoothly and Alpina engine management software increases boost to 14.5 psi (1.0 bar vs. the standard engines 0.8 bar) and recalibrates both stability- and traction-control with more aggressive settings. The blowers exhale into three air-to-liquid intercoolers, an arrangement that helps maintain maximum airflow even during long lapping sessions at a racetrack. There is also a bigger (2.7-inch) dual exhaust system that vents gasses out the back through the rear apron.
A ZF six-speed automatic sport transmission with heavy-duty gears (taken from ZFs transmissions for trucks) is found in the B7. The B7 also features a choice of regular or long-wheelbase and/or rear-wheel drive or xDrive.
The 2011 Alpina B7 undercuts competitors such as BMWs own 2010 760Li (powered by a 6.0L biturbo V12 engine) and the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG (initially powered by a 6.2L V8 from 2007–10, updated for 2011 with a 5.5L biturbo V8). Although the S63 AMGs new engine is more powerful, the B7 still has better performance overall and is more track-oriented; indeed Autoblog found that the B7 could keep pace with a much smaller BMW M3 E92 Coupe.
The vehicle was unveiled in 2010 Chicago Auto Show, and went on sale in Spring of 2010. Production version went on sale as 2011 model year vehicle, which includes standard- and long-wheelbase editions.
BMW Alpina B7 xDrive (2010-)
The vehicle was announced in 2010 Chicago Auto Show, and unveiled in 2010 New York International Auto Show. Production version went on sale as 2011 model year vehicle, which includes standard- and long-wheelbase editions.

The N63 twin turbo 4.4L V8 engine of the F01 BMW 750i/Li matches the performance of the previous-generation E65 760i/Li, powered by the naturally aspirated N73 6.0L V12 engine, while also having similar torque to the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG, equipped with a naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 engine.
The V12 engine for the F01 760i/Li was redesigned as a twin turbo 6.0L (BMW N74) in order to maintain its status as the flagship of the range. The 2010 BMW 760Li is priced similarly and has matching performance with the 2010 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG, however the 760Li is positioned more as a cruising limo while the S63 is a hardcore sports sedan. The BMW 760Li is also less expensive and faster than the 2010 Mercedes-Benz S600 (equipped with a 5.5L biturbo V12 engine). Unlike previous generations of the 7 Series, the V12 engine is now only available in the long-wheelbase model.

Subaru New Midnight Cowboy Subaru XV
 |
| Subaru introduces the XV before a new all-terrain SUV. The Beosnderheit: According to the manufacturer, it is the lightest in its class. |
The new Subaru XV has been how many SUV rather well developed for the urban jungle as the expedition. Although standard-wheel drive, lush ground clearance, prominent wheel arches with attractively designed 17-inch wheels and skirts are typical off-road features front and rear. With a curb weight 1370-1435 kg, the 4.45 meter long SUV, according to the manufacturer is the lightest car in its class - in some cases by a wide margin. Flowing lines with a high structure are typical features of the exterior design. The silhouette emphasizes the spacious passenger compartment during various attachments emphasize the recreational nature. With brand-typical features such as the hexagonal radiator grille and headlamps, the XV is recognizable at first glance as a Subaru.
Practical interior
By far forward placed A-pillar give the passenger compartment a very spacious feel. The relative length of the vehicle very long wheelbase of 2,635 millimeters gives the passengers in the rear lot of legroom. Specifically shaped doors provide extra usable width of shoulders and elbows. The elevated seating position, and seamless transitions from the sills to the floor facilitate entry and exit. Under the boot floor there is a compartment with 15 liters for smaller items which are thus protected from prying eyes and not slide around on the floor. Some other features are tailored to the assumed life of the XV-driver. Examples include the completely new and numerous Informations-/Entertainmentsystem located within reach practical storage compartments for keys, wallets, cell phones, MP3 players and other travel paraphernalia.
Three engines to choose from
For the new XV Two Boxer petrol engines with 1.6 and 2.0 liter engine available, which provide 84 and 110 kilowatts. They come equipped with a start-stop system. On request they can be combined with a CVT transmission. The petrol engines are designed as long-stroke engine, which has a positive effect on the torque curve in the low to mid-speed range as well as on the quality of combustion. Changes to the engine block and cylinder heads compact ensure that the overall width not yet increasing. The cylinder heads are on the inlet and outlet provided with a variable valve control, so that the gas flows can affect accuracy. Roller bearing rocker arms are only one of many steps to reduce the internal friction in the engine. A positive effect on combustion and friction has improved lubrication and cooling system. The 1.6-liter entry-level version and the 2.0-liter engine are identical except for some minor details.

The common rail engine (injection pressure up to 1,800 bar) developed at 3,600 rpm, a maximum power output of 108 kilowatts. The maximum torque of 350 Nm is available from 1,600 rpm. With 9.3 seconds for the sprint to 100 kilometers per hour and a top speed of 198, the diesel is currently the most potent yet fuel-efficient engine for the Subaru XV. The average fuel consumption is 5.6 liters per 100 Kilomter (146 grams of CO2). In conjunction with the 60-liter fuel tank means it provides an economic driving range of more than 1,000 kilometers.
