Alpina B12 Coupe 5.7

The Alpina B12 Coupe 5.7 reaches 60 mph in 5.58 s (100 km/h in 5.83 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 13.76 s, tripping the lights at 109.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.47 s and the eighth mile in 9.13 s, reaching 100 mph in 11.93 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the B12 Coupe 5.7

The 1992 Alpina B12 Coupe 5.7 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,975 kg with 410 bhp, which works out at 208 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 208 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.47 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,767th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 48th quickest of the 55 Alpinas here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 109.0 mph, the 1,480th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Alpina B12 Coupe 5.7 0-60 time?
The Alpina B12 Coupe 5.7 reaches 60 mph in 5.58 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,767th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alpina B12 Coupe 5.7 quarter mile time?
13.76 s at 109.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.13 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.47 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alpina B12 Coupe 5.7 have?
410 bhp and 1,975 kg, which is 208 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 300 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alpina B12 Coupe 5.7?
Closest here on pace: Bristol 411 Series 6 5.9 V8 390 (5.58 s), Audi S4 B6 (5.63 s), Infiniti M Sedan 37 V6 320 (5.62 s). Each one can be raced against the Alpina B12 Coupe 5.7 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Alpina B12 Coupe 5.7 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
