Renault Alpine V6 Turbo GTA with Rothmanns Optik alloy wheels from Renault collection (1985)

Vehicle description

Model history:

The Alpine V6 GTA succeeded the Alpine A310 in 1984 and was produced until 1991. The 2+2 seater with plastic body was designed by the then Renault chief designer Robert Opron. With a V6 engine in the rear, rear-wheel drive and 5-speed manual transmission, it was clear that this Alpine was again a real sports car. From 1985, a turbocharged variant with 200 hp was also offered, which reached a top speed of up to 250 kilometers per hour.

Exterior colour/varnish/body:

The most striking feature of this Alpine is undoubtedly the foiling in the classic Rothmanns motorsport design. This flatters the lines of the plastic body and underlines the sporty character of this car. According to the seller, the vehicle is accident-free and rust on the body is also not an issue thanks to the material used. Apart from a door, the Alpine is also in its original paint. Further modifications to the exterior apart from the foiling are not detectable.
