In-game description[]
"The new generation Alpine that made its shift from a motorsports vehicle to a grand tourer."
The Alpine A310 replaced the A110 in 1971 in the French car-builder's lineup. Because the A110 was a pure sports car with some success in motorsports, the new A310 didn't appeal to hardcore performance enthusiasts like its predecessor, instead making its mark as a luxury grand tourer.
This was all by design, as evidenced by Alpine's decision to make the A310 a 2+2. Alpine was no stranger in the 4-passenger segment, producing several versions previously, such as the A108 Coupe 2+2 in 1961. The A108 Coupe GT4S in 1963, and even a limited number of special-edition A110s. Still, the A310 was the biggest and heaviest (930kg) Alpine to date.
Mounted behind the seats was the 1600VE based on Renault's 1605-cc water-cooled DOHC inline-4, the same power plant found in the A110 1600. It achieved 123 BHP/6,250 rpm. The engine features two Weber 45DCOE carburetors. The power plant came mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Top speed was rated at 134 mph.
In 1974, the A310's 1600VE engine was replaced by a 1600VF, which featured Bosch electronic fuel injection. The 1600VG, with improved economy and reduced power output, made its debut in 1976. By the time, a total of 2,340 units had been produced.
In 1977, the A310 received a 2.7-liter V6 that was developed jointly by Peugeot, Renault and Volvo.
