News of ALPINA registering for future BMW X7 models trademarks such as the “XD7†has been going on in the interwebs. There has been no official word from the tuner yet but an ALPINA variant of the X7 flagship model may just be triggered by Mercedes-Maybach’s work.
Top Gear recently interviewed Mercedes Chief of Global Sales Matthias Luhrs and he said that Mercedes and Maybach are looking at creating an SUV, especially since this vehicle type has risen to popularity in recent years.
Bentley already has this in the form of the Bantayga. Both Rolls Royce and Lamborghini are also working on their SUVs. If Mercedes-Maybach will join the party, BMW will likely have no choice but to follow suit. The best way to attack the competitors is to let ALPINA develop a variant of the X7. ALPINA definitely has what it takes to compete with Mayback in terms of luxury and quality.
