The Alpine A610 launched in 1991 was basically an extensive
revision of the Alpine
GTA V6. Many minor changes were made to the exterior, most
notably the replacement of the original large headlights with
more up to date pop-up headlights. The rear-mounted PRV engine
remained, but it was enlarged to 3 litres and equipped with
a Garrett turbocharger
which enabled it to produce a respectable 250 hp.
The cosmetic and engineering improvements made to the Alpine
A610 did not however result in an improvement in sales and the
car was discontinued in 1995, despite great reviews from many
motoring journalists. The Alpine A610 was to be the last car
to carry the Alpine name, after production of the A610 ceased,
the Alpine factory in Dieppe began producing the Renault
Sport Spider.
During its short career, the A610 underwent few changes.
- 1993: Engine cc rises from 2975 to 2963
- 1994: New wheels with a more modern design
