Dubbed ‘GTA’ for Grand Tourismo Alpine, the new car stunned the crowds at the 1985 Geneva Motorshow. The GTA shared its basic design with the A310, but technically it was quite a departure from the previous design. Both the changes to the design and the powerful engines offered were well received and the GTA proved equally successful as the A310. At the end of the production run, two limited edition models were launched, the Mille Miles and Le Mans in 1989 and 1990 respectively. The GTA’s replacement, the 3 litre, 250 bhp A610 Turbo entered production in 1990.
Featured is a GTA Le Mans, easily recognisable by its revised nose and larger wheels compared to the standard Turbo. It is pictured here at the Zolder, Belgium track, where it took part in a world record attempt to get as many Renault Sport cars on track as possible. Well over 650 Renaults and Alpines were entered.
