Alpine A210 (1966 to 1969)

The Apline A210 was a prototype race car built from 1966 to 1969 by the French manufacturer. The vehicle was a derivative of the company's "M" prototype cars. The car's peak success was in 1966 and 1967 at LeMans and other venues. Alpine used a variety of motors in the A210, including a 1 liter inline four cylinder, 1.3 liter, and a 1.5 liter engine. The fiberglass body was fitted to a tubular steel frame, making it rigid and light, and the addition of a mid-mounted engine combined for a great-performing car. The A210 was quickly updated and ultimately succeeded by the A211 and A220.
