Take for instance the leading spoiler using the integrated graphite front splitter. It causes more air circulation over and round the vehicle, concurrently lowering the air public which flow underneath by a lot more than 10%. This can lead to an obvious stabilisation from the front-finish at high speeds and plays a part in reducing any habits to understeer. The leading spoiler, with the rear spoiler, guarantees the B6 Bi-Turbo is extremely well ‘tethered’ overall. Uplift around the front axle is reduced by 14% and tends towards something of zero around the rear axle from the speed of 150 km/h.

The engineers from ALPINA and Akrapovic have accomplished a significant task, controlling to retain a diameter of two x 70mm through the entire entire exhaust system, regardless of the tricky ‘packaging’.
