The only Barbera Red Metallic Alpina B7 built?

Most as you would expect are black or silver with a few Alpina Blue mixed in.

I LOVE this car!!!

Sold a few toys (including the P4S) and replaced them with allegedly the only Barbera Red Metallic Alpina B7. Fantastic driving car and with 516 lb-ft torque the power is quite impressive. Overall the car is in really good shape having survived its PO (former NFL player) who thankfully only had it for a couple months...... Damage was cosmetic and the dent guy and the wheel repair guy were both able to repair 99% of the damage.

What a better way to get to learn the car's condition than to rub on it...... Here's a couple pics from yesterday after the first wash and interior cleaning - I was pleasantly surprised how nice the paint is!:











Here's a couple more:

Looks good. Unlike the states, in Europe/Asia you're more likely to see many interesting exterior/interior colour combinations

Muuuuuuch better looking car than the P4S, imo. Very nice. Enjoy in good health.

Guys, I don't want this to be a debate about which is better looking or if the B7 is an upgrade over the Panamera. I know there are very strong feelings about the Panamera..... Personally, I think both are great looking cars and if it weren't necessary thin the herd I would still have the P4S. Absolutely awesome machine. If I have to compromise, this is not a bad alternative at less than half the cost of the P4S.

You can get a Pan any day of the week. This particular B7 is very special.

That color is outstanding.
