If you’re a chauffer and your boss wants an Alpina, be happy. It is stupendously fast, this. With 540 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque, the Alpina is every bit the sports sedan it purports to be. Power is up from 445 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque over the standard 750i/Li.
If you have any doubt that the Chinese market is big on luxury, than here’s your proof. Rolls-Royce has debuted an extended-wheelbase version of its already huge Phantom at Auto China 2012.
Although it looks all but the same as the current Phantom, the majority of the fascia seems to be hiding under quite a bit of camouflage.
