Alpine have a really unique style, which is their greatest strength, and it is once again emphasized in this futuristic, almost space-age sports car, that has been designed as if it had travelled from the future to the past. It is the first Alpine to be fully built under Renault’s supervision, the goal was clear: to provide French competition to Porsche's 911 and 944, not an easy task. In an era when Porsche's immense success intimidated, even threatened all car manufacturers, Alpine were the brave to directly challenge it. In 1984, they introduced the GTA, a four-seater coupe with a futuristic look and a sleek design. Its futuristic design made it able to be aerodynamic, and not just a little bit – objectively. It was actually ‘one of the most aerodynamic cars available’. on top of that, it was incredibly fast. Additionally, it was the first Alpine built under the complete control of Renault; previously, Alpine had been merely a subsidiary of Renault that mostly used Renault components. Under the hood of this time-travelled machine resides the well-known 2.9-litre PRV engine, a V6 that was developed in a collaboration between Renault, Peugeot, and Volvo, which had previously earned its place in other equally futuristic cars like the DMC DeLorean. The futuristic theme continues inside as well. The center console continues to the back seat and the ‘interactive’ dashboard features gauges and meters that enhance the driving experience even further. The gear stick is uniquely positioned to the left on the center console, the stalwart steering wheel hints at sportiness, and the door panels are pragmatically equipped with ‘Alpine’-branded speakers. Undoubtedly, the racetrack is this car’s hometown, nevertheless, it is very fit to daily traffic. Over the years, various variants appear, including a turbocharged model with a smaller 2.4-litre engine and a few limited-edition versions. Due to changes in regulations, the car was equipped with a catalytic converter from 1987 onwards. In 1991, production stops and the GTA is succeeded by the A610. Alpine GTA V6 Turbo The Alpine GTA V6 Turbo, or 'D501 05' for Europe and 'D50 A' for the United States, was built shortly after the first anniversary of Alpine and their GTA. It featured a smaller 2.4-liter engine but was equipped with a turbocharger that avoided power loss, eventually power was even increased adding this turbo. The Alpine GTA V6 Turbo is a rare car, not too many people have heard of it, making it special. It is the perfect vintage car for enthusiasts who adore French temperament in a sporty package.

About Renault
Ah, Renault, a name that's as French as a croissant and as ingrained in automotive history as a baguette in a Parisian café. Let's take a leisurely drive through the annals of this storied manufacturer, shall we?Our story begins in the late 19th century when the Renault brothers, Louis, Marcel, and Fernand, decided to put their inventive minds to work. In 1898, they introduced their very first car, the Renault Voiturette. It was a petite, rear-engined contraption that looked like something Jules Verne might have designed. This pint-sized pioneer laid the foundation for Renault's automotive legacy.
Now, if we're talking about influential Renault models, we mustn't overlook the Renault 4. Launched in 1961, it was the French answer to the Volkswagen Beetle. The Renault 4 was practical, versatile, and designed to handle the rough and tumble of rural France. It was as much at home in the city as it was on a farm, a true embodiment of French pragmatism.
But let's not forget the Renault 5, or "Le Supercinq" as it was known in France. Introduced in the mid-'70s, this little hatchback was a design sensation. Its quirky, angular lines and cheeky personality made it an instant hit. It was economical, fun to drive, and became an icon of French urban life.
Then came the Renault Espace in 1984. It was one of the pioneers of the MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) segment. The Espace was designed for families who wanted the practicality of a van without sacrificing the comfort of a car. It was the beginning of a new era in family transport.
And let's not forget the Renault Twingo, introduced in 1992. It was a small city car that broke the mold with its innovative design and rear-engine layout. The Twingo was proof that small cars could be stylish and practical, and it was a hit with urban dwellers across Europe.
Now, if you want to talk about a true game-changer, it's the Renault Clio. First introduced in 1990, the Clio became a European favorite. It combined style, performance, and affordability in a way that few cars could match. It's the kind of car that's as comfortable on the Champs-Élysées as it is navigating the narrow streets of a French village.
But, of course, we can't forget the Renault Megane. It's been a stalwart of the compact car segment since its debut in 1995. With its distinctive rear-end design and a range of engines to suit every taste, the Megane has remained a strong contender in a competitive market.
So there you have it, a leisurely tour through the history of Renault, a company that has always managed to infuse a touch of French flair into the automotive world. Renault has given us cars that are as diverse as the French countryside itself, from practical workhorses to stylish city slickers. It's a brand that's as much a part of France's cultural tapestry as a bottle of Bordeaux or a game of pétanque. Vive la Renault!
