More images and details of Alpina's B6 GT3 racer have hit the web, and it looks like despite spending two decades away from motorsports, there are no flies on the leading Bimmer tuning haus.

Based
on BMW's 6-Series coupe, the B6 weighs under 3,000 pounds and gets a
supercharged 4.4-liter V8 that gives more than 520 horsepower and 535
pound-feet of torque. Backed by a six-speed X-Trac sequential gearbox,
the car is reportedly capable of hitting 62 miles-per-hour in 3.9
seconds en route to a top whack of at least 177 mph (a speed it has
already reached in testing on the N�rburgring).

The B6 GT3 will debut at next month's Geneva Motor Show
before going on to scrap with Aston Martin, Porsche, and Ferrari on
circuits around the world. Alpina will field its own team (it is
reportedly considering a number of pro drivers), but privateers will
also be able to buy their own B6 if they fancy going it alone.
