With the neon-green B6 GT3 you see here, Alpina plans to make a very green comeback to the racing game this year. The company hopes to race the car against GT3 class competition from the likes of Ferrari and Porsche. The best bit? You can buy one.

Based off the B6 S --- which, in turn, is based off of the BMW 6 Series --- the B6 GT3 uses a supercharged 4.4-liter V-8 to produce 523 hp 535 lb-ft of torque. Weighing less than 1.5 tons, the B6S is capable of accelerating to 62 mph in a claimed 3.9 seconds and to a top speed of 177 mph.

Alpina looks to champion the B6 in the 2009 FIA GT3 championship, but will make the car available to privateers and collectors alike. We can't wait to see how it performs.
