In 1962, the A108 began to be produced also in Brazil, by Willys-Overland, being renamed the [[Willys]] Interlagos (berlineta, coupé and convertible).{{cn|date=May 2025}}

By now the car's mechanicals were beginning to show their age in Europe. Alpine was already working closely with Renault and when the [[Renault R8]] saloon was introduced in 1962, Alpine redeveloped their chassis and made a number of minor body changes to allow the use of R8 mechanicals.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

This new car was the [[Alpine A110|A110 Berlinette]] [[Tour de France automobile|Tour de France]], named after a successful run with the [[Alpine A108]] in the 1962 event. Starting with a 956 cc engine of {{convert|51|bhp|kW|0|abbr=on}}, the same chassis and body developed with relatively minor changes over the years to the stage where, by 1974, the little cars were handling 1800 cc engines developing {{convert|180|bhp|kW|0|abbr=on}}+. With a competition weight for the car of around {{convert|620|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}, the performance was excellent.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

Alpine achieved increasing success in rallying, and by 1968 had been allocated the whole Renault competition budget. This close collaboration with Renault allowed Alpines to be sold and maintained in France by normal Renault dealerships. Real top level success started in 1968 with outright wins in the ''Coupe des Alpes'' and other international events. By this time the competition cars were fitted with 1440 cc engines derived from the Renault R8 [[Gordini]]. Competition successes became numerous, helped by the fact that Alpine was the first company fully to exploit the competitions homologation rules.{{cn|date=May 2025}}
