FactAfter 1993 Alpine built only 80 more A610s total, the last of a run that never beat the GTA it replaced.
The Alpine A610 was produced by the Renault-owned French manufacturer Alpine from 1991 to 1995 as the successor to the Alpine GTA. Due to a limited budget at the start of the project its appearance does not differ much from the GTA, and it looks quite similar to the US-market GTA with its pop-up headlights, but it is a completely different car sharing only the windows with the GTA; the basic Alpine concepts remain, with the rear engine and steel backbone chassis every Alpine since the A110 has had. The car was branded solely as an Alpine, since linking Alpine and Renault together seemed to detract from the marque's sporty image. The PRV engine was enlarged to 3.0 litres (2,975 cc) and turbocharged to produce 250 PS at 5,750 rpm and 350 N·m at 2,900 rpm, and was downsized to 2,963 cc in March 1993 to fit the Swiss taxation system. The A610 Albertville 92 was presented in 1991 for the Olympic Games, and the A610 Magny-Cours (31 cars) marked the Williams-Renault Formula One victory at the 1991 French Grand Prix. It did not improve on the commercially disappointing GTA in sales and was discontinued in 1995, despite acclaim from the motoring press and Top Gear; 818 were built, 67 of them right-hand drive, and from 1993 until the end of production a mere 80 cars were built. It was the last car to carry the Alpine name until the 2017 A110, and the Dieppe factory then produced the Renault Spider.

The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
