To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Paris event, 6 February
2019.
- Offered from the Youngtimer Collection
- One of only 60 examples built
Replacing what was then the fastest four-door saloon in the world,
the B7 Turbo S certainly had big shoes to fill. Now graced with a
3.5-litre inline-six cylinder engine, boost on the turbos was
increased and with a new ignition system, output was increased to
330 bhp and 500 nm of torque . . . the same amount of torque
produced by BMW's E39 M5, a car that would not go into production
for another 17 years.
First registered in January of 1982 and delivered new in Germany,
this is the 36th B7 Turbo S built of a total production run of just
60 examples. Finished in Dark Sapphire Blue metallic over an
interior swath in Alpina cloth, the car resided in Germany prior to
being purchased by the consignor in 2015. Invoices on file show
that the car was serviced at a cost of over 8,500 CHF in October of
2016 and has been driven roughly 100 km since. More recently, it
was shown at the 2018 Concours d'Elegance Suisse.
Today, the B7 Turbo S presents in excellent, well-preserved
condition, showing 57,861 km at the time of cataloguing. For the
family of four looking for an exciting and modern classic, this
would be a blast to drive and enjoy. To view this car and others
currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at
