BMW Group expanded earlier this year by officially acquiring Alpina, the company that has been tuning and refining the automaker’s vehicles since 1965. With that, the automaker debuted its Vision BMW Alpina concept, a large luxury coupe previewing Alpina’s future design direction as the two prepare to launch Alpina’s first new model later next year.
The production version will likely borrow cues from the concept, but applied to a four-door sedan. BMW said it will base the production version on the latest 7 Series, with BMW and Alpina likely sharing platforms and powertrains.
