The final incarnation of the Alpine was this Renault Alpine A610 Turbo. It still featured the characteristic Alpine backbone chassis and the engine mounted behind the rear wheels. That rear mounted engine is a 3 litre V6 engine equipped with a Garrett turbocharger. The end of the production run of the A610 in 1995 meant the end of the Alpine marque. The factory was used to build the Renault Sport Spider.

I really like this car but where to find it North America. I know it came in USA. Would like to try to buy one. I like Renault's. I own lots of them in the 70's and 80's. I had a 1971 R16TS, 1976 Renault 17 Gordini, 1984 Renault Fuego 2.2 and a Sport wagon 2.2. I really enjoy driving them and have lot of fun and I impress lot of people.
