In 1985, Renault redesigned the 310 series. This GTA is larger and more rounded.  It has a 6 cylinder engine.  This car is very light (1800 pounds) and quite fast.  In this respect, it is very similar to its contemporary Lotus–light fiberglass bodies with a taut, sophisticated chassis, small lively engines, and beautiful coachwork.  Though the Alpine-series automobiles were never officially sold in America by Renault, a few have made it to the United States.  The Alpine Club of America currently knows of 21 cars in the U.S.
