=== 1980s === Alpine Renault continued to develop their range of models all through the 1980s. The A310 was the next modern interpretation of the A110. The Alpine A310 was a sports car with a rear-mounted engine and was initially powered by a four-cylinder 1.6 L sourced Renault 17 TS/Gordini engine. In 1976 the A310 was restyled by [[Robert Opron]] and fitted with the more powerful and newly developed V6 PRV engine. The 2.6 L motor was modified by Alpine with a four-speed manual gearbox. Later they would use a Five-speed manual gearbox and with the group 4 model get a higher tune with more cubic capacity and 3 twin barrel [[Weber carburetors]].{{cn|date=May 2025}} [[File:Renault Alpine A310.jpg|thumb|[[Alpine A310]] V6 GT Pack (1983β1984)]] [[File:H904FLB Renault GTA V6.jpg|thumb|[[Renault Alpine GTA/A610|Alpine GTA]]]] After the A310, Alpine transformed into the new [[Renault Alpine GTA/A610|Renault Alpine GTA]] range, produced from plastic and polyester components, commencing with normally aspirated [[PRV engine|PRV]] V6 engines. In 1985 the V6 turbo was introduced to complete the range. This car was faster and more powerful than the normally aspirated version. In 1986 polyester parts were cut for the first time by robot using a high pressure (3500 bar) water jet, {{convert|0.15|mm|in|2|abbr=on}} in diameter at three times the speed of sound. In the same year the American specification V6 turbo was developed.{{cn|date=May 2025}} In 1987 the installation of anti-pollution systems allowed the V6 turbo to be distributed to Switzerland, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. 1989 saw the launch of the limited edition GTA ''Mille Miles'' to celebrate Alpine's 35th anniversary. Production was limited to 100 cars, all fitted with ABS braking, polished wheels, special leather interior and paintwork. This version was not available in right hand drive.{{cn|date=May 2025}}
