I like it! :D

Check out the brakes! And its got and Akrapovic exhaust!

Its clearly based around the livery of their old E63 GT race car.

I would understand if it was a stripped out track car. But its just a B3s with a few trinkets.

I was thinking the options were a bit tasty..

I laughed when I read:
The brake callipers are painted in blue with discrete ALPINA writing in silver
I think Alpina did well keeping the caliper lettering low key..

Don't worry, it comes in Black, white or Alpina Blue Matt Metallic as standard.

The racing scheme is an optional vinyl wrap.

I bet this drives well

This certainly has some gear on it!! Probably great to drive although I agree there should have been some effort to reduce the weight 8)

The only thing that I really like are the seats.

Do they mention a price of the car?

I think it's pretty nasty. Perhaps bring back some of the old decals kits (gold on a black car), but that thing looks terrible and it's not what Alpenis are about.
