VIVE LA DIFFERENCE

摘要

This agile, rear-engined V6 French coupe was distinctive and rare even when new, never mind today. And, as John Evans says, it's now a real performance bargain. Only those of a certain age are likely to recognise the Renault Alpine GTA and its successor, the A610. Although they were well reviewed, Alpine was an obscure brand, and when production of the A610 ceased in 1995, it slipped away quietly. It resurfaced only in 2017 with the arrival of the Alpine A110 and now it's also the name of the rebranded Renault Formula 1 team. In short, things are at last looking up for Alpine and people are beginning to talk about its old performance coupes again.
