    B10 BiTurbo vs Ferrari Testarossa

     

    TitleP1P2

     

    "Wenn der Alpina-BiTurbo im Rückspiegel auftaucht gibt es kein Entrinnen."
    "When the Alpina-BiTurbo appears in the rearview mirror there is no escaping."

     

    The test between the B10 BiTurbo and the Testarossa was not supported by Ferrari so in the end the author rented a Testarossa. The Ferrari is described as a racecar for the street and the appeal is very apparent. However the BiTurbo is very enjoyable because it's as fast - or faster - than the Ferrari with the added advantage of being easy to drive at slower speeds. The fact that it's unassuming and looks like a standard BMW is one of its main attractions.
