The Alpine A310: An Exceptional Sports Coupé
Launched in 1971, the Alpine A310 represents the culmination of Alpine's sports car expertise. Designed to succeed the legendary A110, this new generation features more modern, angular lines, characteristic of 1970s automotive design. The 1979 Politecnic version is distinguished by its spectacular tricolor livery , emphasizing its sporty character and French heritage.
Powered by a 2.7-liter V6 PRV engine developing 150 horsepower, the A310 offered remarkable performance for its time. Its lightweight construction, with a fiberglass body mounted on a tubular chassis, gave it an exceptional power-to-weight ratio. This technical architecture, inherited from racing experience, made the A310 a true sports car accessible to the general public.
The A310's commercial success was immediate, with more than 9,000 units produced by 1985. This longevity is a testament to the relevance of its concept and its appeal to sports driving enthusiasts. The Politecnic version, with its unique livery, remains one of the most sought-after versions among collectors today.
Alpine: The Art of the French Sports Car
Founded in 1955 by Jean Rédélé , Alpine was born from the passion of a Dieppe Renault dealer for motor racing. At the end of the 1970s, when the A310 Politecnic was created, the brand already enjoyed a worldwide reputation thanks to its successes in rallying and racing. The gradual integration into the Renault fold, which began in 1973, allowed Alpine to have considerable technical resources while retaining its sporting spirit.
This period corresponds to Alpine's golden age, where the brand juggled commercial successes with sporting exploits . Victories at Le Mans, World Rally Championship titles and a presence in Formula 1 forged the Alpine legend. The tricolor livery of this A310 Politecnic is part of this tradition of celebrating French colors, often displayed by Alpine racing cars.
Alpine's technical expertise is constantly informed by experience gained in competition. Each production model benefits from innovations developed on the racetrack, making Alpine a brand where cutting-edge technology meets the French art of living. This philosophy is clearly reflected in the A310, a true synthesis of performance and elegance.
A Livery Inspired by French Excellence
The Politecnic tricolor livery of this 1979 Alpine A310 has its origins in the world of French motor racing. This spectacular decoration is not just a simple stylistic exercise: it symbolizes Alpine's patriotic commitment and its desire to fly the French colors high on all the circuits of the world. At this time, Alpine dominated the World Rally Championship and this livery became the emblem of this supremacy.
The year 1979 marked a particular turning point for Alpine with the preparation for its return to Formula 1. This Politecnic version in some ways anticipated this Grand Prix adventure, where Alpine cars would proudly display the national colors. The livery of this A310 foreshadowed the liveries that would later be found on the French team's single-seaters.
This focus on French colors is part of a French tradition dating back to the beginnings of motor racing. French blue, combined with white and red, became Alpine's visual signature, allowing its cars to be immediately identified on international circuits. This strong color identity greatly contributed to the global reputation of the Dieppe brand.
Even today, this tricolor livery immediately evokes French excellence in motorsport. It recalls a time when Alpine perfectly embodied the French sporting spirit, combining technical innovation, aesthetic audacity, and national pride. This A310 Politecnic remains a timeless symbol of this golden era of French motoring.
