Alpine Revives Its Forgotten 911 Fighter With the Stunning A310 Vision Concept

The A110 Berlinette gets all the posters (and we get it), but Alpine’s history has a second act that’s very much worth remembering. In 1971, the brand followed up its curvy rally hero with a fiberglass wedge called the A310, a rear-engined, six-headlight oddball aimed right at the Porsche 911. Of course, it never dethroned Stuttgart, but it did give Alpine the most radical silhouette it’s ever worn.

Now, with the four-cylinder original turning 55 and the V6 version turning 50, Alpine has rolled into the Paris Motor Show with the A310 Vision concept.

To create it, Alpine’s designers wheeled an original A310 into the middle of the studio and hand-sketched around it, asking what the wedge would look like if it were penned in 2026 instead of 1971. The answer measures 179.1 inches long, nearly 80 inches wide across the rear hips, and a pretty ridiculous 46.5 inches tall.
