Don't feel bad if you've never seen one of these...there aren't too many of them out there. And probably none in the USA. Alpine is a French brand, currently owned by Renault, and currently out of production. Plans to revive the brand were recently scuttled unfortunately, but they made some rather nice cars over the years, the A310 and the GTA in particular. This is a rare GTA Le Mans edition, which roving photographer Josh Brown captured when he was in Paris last week. With its turbocharged rear mounted V6 motor cranking out a tad under 200hp, 16x8" front / 17x10" ACT 3-piece wheels and widened fenders it's got a lot of presence, and a lot of class. Don't think you'll find one very easily however, they only made 349 of these beauties and the narrow body cars aren't nearly as handsome.
