Description
1985 ALPINE GTA V6 GT Chassis number VFAD50005F0000041 French vehicle registration document • Very early in production: 41st chassis of the 1985 model year • Only 70,000 km on the odometer • Record-breaking aerodynamics for its time (Cd of 0.28) and a 2.8-litre PRV V6 engine • The first Alpine developed entirely under Renault’s auspices Unveiled at the end of 1984 as the successor to the A310, the Alpine GTA (Grand Tourisme Alpine) ushered in a new era of modernity for the Dieppe-based manufacturer. Designed by Yves Legal, its bodywork, made from polyester and injection-moulded resin, is characterised by its large, wraparound rear windscreen and exceptional aerodynamic efficiency. In its naturally aspirated V6 GT version (type D500), it boasted a record drag coefficient of 0.28. Built on the traditional beam chassis so dear to the brand, it is powered by the 2,849 cm³ PRV V6 engine mounted in a rear cantilever configuration and developing 160 chevaux, which gives it top-class performance with a top speed of 235 km/h whilst offering a high level of ride comfort. The example we are presenting, identified by chassis number VFAD50005F0000041 and accompanied by its French registration document, is of particular historical interest as it is the 41st car assembled for the 1985 model year, right at the very start of the model’s production run. Finished in a shade of red that emphasises its taut lines and wedge-shaped profile, this GTA currently has 70,000 km on the odometer. A rare testament to the very earliest days of the GTA, this chassis number 41 embodies the revival of French grand touring in the 1980s and represents a particularly interesting opportunity for enthusiasts of Dieppe’s history. 1985 ALPINE GTA V6 GT Chassis No. VFAD50005F0000041 French registration document • Very early production model: 41st chassis built for the 1985 model year • Low mileage: showing just 70,000 km • Class-leading aerodynamics for its era (Cd of 0.28) and 2.8-litre PRV V6 engine • First Alpine developed entirely under Renault ownership Introduced in late 1984 to succeed the A310, the Alpine GTA (Grand Tourisme Alpine) heralded a new era of modernity for the Dieppe-based manufacturer. Designed by Yves Legal, its composite polyester bodywork was distinguished by a wide, sweeping rear glass canopy and exceptional aerodynamic efficiency. In the naturally aspirated V6 GT specification (type D500), it achieved a record-breaking drag coefficient of 0.28. Built around Alpine’s signature backbone chassis, it was powered by a rear-mounted 2,849 cc PRV V6 engine producing 160 hp, delivering top-tier performance with a top speed of 235 km/h alongside refined high-speed touring comfort. The example presented here, chassis number VFAD50005F0000041, holds exceptional historical significance as the 41st car assembled for the 1985 model year, right at the start of production. Finished in red paintwork that accentuates its sharp lines and wedge-shaped silhouette, this GTA has just 70,000 km on the odometer. A rare artefact from the very dawn of GTA production, chassis number 41 embodies the revival of 1980s French grand touring and represents a compelling opportunity for enthusiasts of Dieppe’s heritage.
