Since our revelations of Thursday, January 28 the information is carefully distilled by Renault after the presentation of F1 2016, on Wednesday at the Renault Technocentre in Guyancourt, there will be a big crowd Tuesday, February 16th in the Principality of Monaco, in the Top Land of Nice and the Col du Turini. This is the day chosen by the Renault Group for the presentation of the life-size show car to the one we gladly called the Alpine A120 in the presence of President Carlos Ghosn and Bernard Ollivier president of Alpine, 120 owners (expected) Alpine Berlinetta with their beautiful, representatives of 200 international media and guests a passionate pack.
Updated Monday, February 1: the information was kept confidential until we have been kindly sent Thursday, January 28 evening: Tuesday, February 16, there will be the world and beautiful people between the Principality of Monaco and the col de Turini, around Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Renault and Nissan and the Renault-Nissan Alliance - the last two being the parent company of Alpine - where shone, the century last, the Alpine, Berlinettes and other Renault 5 hit the famous "A" in the Monte Carlo rally still exceptionally organized by the Automobile Club de Monaco.
Initially 120 "Berlinetta" were hoped for, but the organization now expects 80 to the finish ...
By leveraging the AAA (Association des Anciens d’Alpine,
https://fr.renaultclassic.com/les-c...e-detail/club-association-des-anciens-alpine/) wished to join in this day of 16 February, particularly through Renault Classic, he was asked the President André Désaubry and the Alpine Club to provide support.
And Bernard Ollivier, President of Alpine, and his aspired to receive 120 proud owners of Alpine Berlinette, selected on records, expected only because so many guests, journalists, international personalities and VIP were moved to their sides. Pilots who have written beautiful pages in the history of Alpine is also the party. But to date, the difficulty of finding so many cars that the organization more table on the presence of 80 Berlinetta.
Given the season and weather conditions on the side of the platform that will be the Hôtel des Trois Vallées in l'Escarène on the heights of the Principality in the upper regions of Nice, each "climber" has a budget tires snow, studded or not according to individual choices, in order to ride safely on snowy and icy portions.
35000 Alpine sold from 1955 to 1995 - including 7500 Berlinetta - and that of the twenty-first century play l’Arlésienne since 2012
Obviously the star of the day was to be the much desired and long awaited Alpine A120, where at least those that we name that could ultimately be countered by another title, the project was initiated under the leadership of Carlos Tavarès - current CEO of PSA Peugeot-Citroën - when he was project manager of the return of Alpine and compete in the world of the automotive industry. This is at least what was hoped.
But the Berlinetta twenty-first century play l’Arlésienne since 2012. It is indeed at the Monaco Grand Prix F1 Carlos Tavarès appeared behind the wheel of the first Alpine Concept, and last year, for the 60th anniversary of Alpine Concept Celebration appeared in the opening 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Meanwhile, collaboration with Alpine Caterham to reduce industrialization costs went from life to death. And not to leave too feathers in collaboration with Lotus F1, Renault has just bought the team. Short.
The show car Alpine expected in Monaco: "A car results in 80/90% from the final version"
Consequently, on 16 February in Monaco, says one at Renault, "is not a concept car but a show car, ie a finished car in 80/90% over the final version to be presented with the cockpit "of the Alpine play l’Arlésienne since 2012 which is expected.
Looking very closely, experts will notice that this is an extremely masked and disguised version of the version of preproduction.
Under a huge tent on Port Hercule of Monaco, two hundred international media including 40 French - and many people - attend the event.
An informed opinion at Renault confirmed that this international selection was quite logical if we consider that Alpine addresses a global trading bend.
35000 Alpine sold from 1955 to 1995 - including 7500 Berlinetta - the brand into globalization and will tackle the nations and hitherto unknown markets, like China, Russia and the Middle East . With sales figures ambitions far more consistent than in the past.
The first success in the Monte Carlo 1964 European Le Mans Series title in 2013 Signatech-Alpine
While it is extremely difficult if not impossible to evoke a few lines the heyday of Alpine, have can still recall some historical corners: the creation of Alpine in 1955 in Dieppe by Jean Rédélé ; the first victory (in class 1000cm3) of an Alpine A108, the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964; Title 1973 Rally constructors champion with 1800cm3 A110 assigned to Mousquetaires: Jean-Claude Andruet, Bernard Darniche, Jean-Pierre Nicolas, Jean-François Piot and Jean-Luc Thérier.
But Berlinettes, Renault Clio and 5 were not the only ones to forge the legend Alpine and Alpine-Renault: Formula Renault, Formula 3, F2 and F1 for cars but also sport-Protos 2 liters Protoypes and endurance, and even an A310 rallycross have swept the laurels and enthusiastic crowds.
I remember like it was yesterday the victory of A442B Didier-Pironi and Jean-Pierre Jaussaud the 1978 24 Hours of Le Mans ...
