OUR ICONS
Lightweight agility and has been core throughout Alpine history, every one of our models feeling at home on the enthralling mountain roads where Jean Rédélé forged his legendary vision. The constant evolution of Alpine cars reflects the world around them and pays tribute to Rédélé’s passionate pursuit of innovation.
A106 | 1955
In 1955 – Alpine’s founding year – three A106s were painted in the blue, white and red of the French tricolours to mark the debut of our first production model. Boosting 4CV mechanicals with the benefits of a slender new glassfibre body and an exotic five-speed gearbox, it took the motorsport world by storm and a more potent A106 Mille Miglia edition followed.
A108 | 1958
Three years later, the A108 arrived as a glamourous berlinette and cabriolet with a more powerful engine, namely our first crafted by the genius hands of Amédée Gordini – a man nicknamed ‘the mechanical wizard’ thanks to his efficient tuning skills. The car linked Alpine’s early coachbuilding to its more mainstream manufacturing, paving the way for production of our most iconic model of all.
A110 | 1962
The 1962 Paris Motor Show saw the true heart of Alpine beat for the first time as the covers were pulled from our beautiful new A110 berlinette. An evolution of the A108, its larger glass and improved components showcased our increasing engineering maturity. Power increased across its 14-year life while competition versions scored abundant trophies on the world’s rally stages.
INTERLAGOS
Alpine’s worldwide appeal was proven when A108 production was licenced to Brazil, where three different body styles were sold by Willys-Overland under the Interlagos name, a reference to the São Paulo racetrack. In total 822 cars were built between 1962 and ’66, taking the artistic beauty of European coachbuilders to a new market.
DINALPIN
This global mentality only grew with the licencing of Alpine A110 production in Mexico under the Dinalpin badge. In total 693 cars were sold, split between berlinette, coupe and cabriolet body styles.
A310 | 1971
Alpine revolutionised its range in 1971 with the jaw-dropping A310, putting the same rear-engine layout of its A110 sibling beneath a completely different body, one sketched by famous illustrator Marcel Béligond. A trusted Renault engine was elevated by our agile expertise and styling fit for a baby supercar. An even more exciting V6 version allowed the car to hit its full potential – on rally stages and the road.
Alpine GTA | 1985
We improved the recipe in 1984 with the launch of the Alpine GTA – a longer, wider and more aerodynamic rethink of the angular A310 that preceded it. Passenger room increased and our Dieppe production process was streamlined to make this a truly modern sports car, one whose lightweight body gave it an edge against more traditional rivals. We also introduced a V6 Turbo engine, which starred under the hood of the iconic GTA Le Mans edition.
A610 | 1991
The concept evolved again in 1991 with the launch of our A610. While its shape echoed the GTA before it, there were improvements all round, only the windows carried over from its predecessor. Power was boosted to 250hp and 0-62mph (0-100km/h) was completed in under six seconds to make this the quickest Alpine of its time. One which also possessed a true 1990s supercar party piece – retractable headlights.
