Summary

In 1985, the Renault-Alpine V6 GT replaced the A310, which had been built for 14 years. In 1991, Régie Renault added the final performance level, the A 610, which was also able to hold its own in the guild of the fastest sports cars at an affordable price. This report looks back on the development of the model and shows the A 610 and the V6 GT in many contemporary and historical pictures, supplemented by sales documents, press material and a price list (coming soon).

Preview (beginning of the article)

When the Renault Group presented its new Alpine model in 1985, they obviously didn't want to know so much about the tradition of the Alpine brand. In any case, the new car was not called the A 410 or A 510, as one might have expected after its predecessors, the A 110 and A 310 . It was simply called the V6 GT and inherited much from its predecessors, despite the distance that was sought with the new name. The Alpine was best known for the Berlinette, as the A 110 was also known, which was built until 1977. In the hands of talented cross-country drivers, it won the Monte Carlo Rally several times and was crowned World Rally Champion.
