    But Gordini was reintroduced with a little bit of blue paint and a few graphics on the car’s exterior. Alpine is treated with much more respect because of its records and performance in the market. The concept of the car is not like the earlier version and it is much more reliable than the previous version. The car is already into production. A person working with the development of the car said that if the company is not able to bring out the car now, it will never be able to do it again. The company wants to make a proper race car without a Renault tag on it. The concept of the Alpine race car is based on the Renault sport Megane race car which has a tubular spaceframe with an 880 kg of kerb weight and 3.5 liter V6 wedged behind the driver which produces 400bhp power. There are speculations that the car may have an all-new platform with some repetition of the Megane RS’s 2.0 liter.
