Experience the full fast lap of the 2017 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive on the 4.1-mile Grand West course at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) during Lightning Lap 2017.

This luxury sedan, driven by Eric Tingwall (Technical Director), is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 engine producing 600 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. It weighs 4901 lb (8.2 lb/hp) and features an 8-speed automatic all-wheel-drive system. The car is equipped with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires (F: 255/40ZR-20, R: 295/35ZR-20).

Eric notes that "All of the transporters are smooth, quiet players. Engine noise is minimal." He also observes that "Body roll is well controlled in the B7. Driver head roll? Not so much." and emphasizes that "Being tidy through here is important in the big sedans."
