Get the Latest from the Frankfurt Show While in Tokyo
Latest information from the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany will be available in Tokyo's Roppongi for two days, September 21st (Sat) to 22nd (Sun), bridging a distance of 6,000 miles.
ALPINA's history began in 1962 in Kaufbeuren, Bavaria, Germany, when founder Burkard Bovensiepen enhanced the performance of the BMW 1500's four-cylinder engine. It didn't take long for those unsatisfied with existing vehicle performance to take notice of this car.
This was because ALPINA, boasting legendary F1 drivers like James Hunt and Niki Lauda, dominated the European Touring Car Championship and endurance races, showcasing its high performance to the world with overwhelming strength.
For the past 50 years, skilled master craftsmen have meticulously, by hand, producedBMWbased complete cars. As an exclusive luxury car manufacturer producing only about 1,000 units annually, ALPINA has achieved its own unique evolution.
The event, titled "ALPINA Style - Experience the ALPINA way of Life -," will feature the domestic premiere of video and specifications for the latest model, the "D3 BiTurbo" equipped with an ALPINA Sport Diesel engine, which had its world premiere at the ALPINA booth at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Additionally, the facelifted model of the "D5 Turbo," also featuring an ALPINA Sport Diesel engine, will have its Japan premiere. The event will also include an exhibition of the latest lineup and sales of accessory goods, consolidating the world of ALPINA here.
Furthermore, a collaboration with "ROLF BENZ," a German luxury furniture brand with over 40 years of history and tradition, much like ALPINA, is another highlight. The venue, "Roppongi Studio umu," will be transformed into a luxurious space coordinated with ROLF BENZ interiors, evoking the "ALPINA Style."
This event offers a hot experience packed with the latest information, much like visiting the ALPINA booth at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and is a must-see two-day event not only for car enthusiasts but also for those interested in German design.
