In case you want to compete against an extremely powerful version from AMG – like the new S-Class – or the likes from Audi S8, then you will have to buy the all-new 2017 Alpina B7 xDrive, recently unveiled and coming with a lot of performance and high-end features, that would leave a stock 7-Series from BMW out in dust.

More than that, in case you are not impressed by the new B7 then you should check out an exquisite model wearing the exotic Java Green Metallic and being displayed for a short period of time at BMW Abu Dhabi.

I personally have to admit that it comes with an exquisite treatment at the exterior, the model being adorned with high-end components from BMW` M Performance division. The model seen here mainly comes with luxury highlights inside the cabin.

We are looking here at an extremely high-class interior, thanks to the Individual package, consisting of special wooden trim on the dashboard, doors, center console, all of them complementing the car`s exterior body wrap.

Since we are looking here at a model which is based on a luxury package rather than a performance kit, we have reasons to believe that this Java Green Metallic 2017 Alpina B7 comes with the stock yet high-performance engine.

Underneath, the model brags with a 4.4-liter twin turbo V8 engine, developing a staggering 608 horsepower, available between 5,750 rpm and 6,250 rpm, and a massive 800 horsepower, available at 3,000 rpm.

This also means that the model is capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in a staggering 3.6 seconds, at a top speed of 311 km/h. So we have got a complete car, with both luxury cabin, exquisite exterior and impressive performance, all-in-one. The model can be also admired in the amazing media gallery below.

There are a lot of attributes that makes an Alpina so visibly different than a BMW model, and that would be a more aggressive attitude, higher-end styling elements and much more performance engines under the hood.

And the latest 2017 Alpina B7 in the xDrive version is the best example that it can successfully replace a BMW model when it comes to fighting back against an S63 or S65 hardcore version from AMG.

The aforementioned model was recently seen online in a smashing photo gallery, which showcases the car`s exquisite design, fine interior and high-class road attitude.

The styling of the new 2017 Alpina B7 xDrive is extremely appealing, aggressive yet attractive, thanks to the Alpina Blue Metallic exterior, highlighted as well by bespoke front and end, front lip spoiler, stainless steel and the 20-inch Alpina Classic wheels with Micheln Pilot Sport tires.

Inside, you feel cozy with the plethora of luxurious features, including Nappa leather on the seats, leather dashboard, ceramic controls, Piano Black or Myrtle Luxury Wood trim, sport steering with blue and contrast stitching, illuminated door sill plates, brand-new digital instrument cluster, head-up display and so on.

The 2017 Alpina B7 xDrive cannot be complete without the impressive powertrain that it comes with under the hood. We are looking here at a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, which is rather the same one found on the 750i, only that it comes with a higher power. This means no less than 600 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque, allowing a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a mind-blowing 3.6 seconds, which makes it way too faster than the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG, its direct rival.
