About the B5 Biturbo Touring 540 PS

The 2012 Alpina B5 Biturbo Touring 540 PS is a rear-drive turbocharged estate of 1,990 kg with 532 bhp, which works out at 268 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 268 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.98 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,089th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 19th quickest of the 55 Alpinas here. Its 116.9 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 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Alpina B5 Biturbo Touring 540 PS 0-60 time?
The Alpina B5 Biturbo Touring 540 PS reaches 60 mph in 4.02 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,089th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alpina B5 Biturbo Touring 540 PS quarter mile time?
12.35 s at 116.9 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.05 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.98 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alpina B5 Biturbo Touring 540 PS have?
532 bhp and 1,990 kg, which is 268 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 316 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alpina B5 Biturbo Touring 540 PS?
Closest here on pace: Audi RS6 Avant C6 (3.77 s), Audi S6 (2019) (4.00 s), Ferrari 612 Scaglietti (4.01 s). Each one can be raced against the Alpina B5 Biturbo Touring 540 PS 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 B5 Biturbo Touring 540 PS is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
