RACING CARS FROM THE SIXTIES
Alpine Renault 220 (1968-9)
France
Alpine Renault 220
Quote:
The chassis of the A220 of 1969 is basically similar to that of the A210 prototype designed by Len Terry in 1964 which shows how slowly development moves at the Alpine factory, changes mainly being aimed at improving the weight distribution..................
Alpine have their own wind tunnel and although their glassfibre bodywork is seldom attractive to look at the cars do not run into the aerodynamic problems of some of their competitors despite a claimed top speed of over 190mph.
