About the B3 3.3 Limousine

The 1999 Alpina B3 3.3 Limousine is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,495 kg with 276 bhp, which works out at 185 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 185 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.14 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 2,451st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 47th quickest of the 55 Alpinas here. Its 104.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Alpina B3 3.3 Limousine 0-60 time?
The Alpina B3 3.3 Limousine reaches 60 mph in 5.28 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 2,451st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alpina B3 3.3 Limousine quarter mile time?
13.60 s at 104.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.80 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.14 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alpina B3 3.3 Limousine have?
276 bhp and 1,495 kg, which is 185 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 266 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alpina B3 3.3 Limousine?
Closest here on pace: Bentley Arnage Blue Train Series 6.75 V8 457 (5.23 s), Infiniti G35 Sedan 3.5 V6 298 (5.34 s), Jaguar XJ 3.0 V6 LWB 340 (5.19 s). Each one can be raced against the Alpina B3 3.3 Limousine 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 B3 3.3 Limousine is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 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.
