Alpina B5 S

The Alpina B5 S reaches 60 mph in 4.25 s (100 km/h in 4.43 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.53 s, tripping the lights at 116.0 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.05 s and the eighth mile in 8.21 s, reaching 100 mph in 9.82 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 B5 S

The 2007 Alpina B5 S is a rear-drive turbocharged car of 1,720 kg with 523 bhp, which works out at 304 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 304 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.05 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 1,353rd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 26th quickest of the 55 Alpinas here. Its 116.0 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 11 of 11 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 B5 S 0-60 time?
The Alpina B5 S reaches 60 mph in 4.25 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 1,353rd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Alpina B5 S quarter mile time?
12.53 s at 116.0 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 8.21 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.05 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Alpina B5 S have?
523 bhp and 1,720 kg, which is 304 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbocharged, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 322 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Alpina B5 S?
Closest here on pace: Ferrari 550 Maranello (4.18 s), TVR Chimaera 5.0 (4.17 s), BMW i8 (4.27 s). Each one can be raced against the Alpina B5 S 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 S is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 11 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.
