About
While Alpine earned fame through rallying success with the A110, the 1960s also saw the marque build competitive prototype racers that achieved results on the track. Among them, the A220 stood as Alpine’s strongest contender for overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, making its debut in 1968. Although the car was beset by mechanical issues and failed to deliver the expected result, it remained a fan favorite and a cherished part of Alpine’s legacy.

It's hard to believe that a Le Mans prototype also competed in rallies. Well, it really did happen! Let me introduce you to the Alpine A220. It's a successor to the Alpine M Series, which performed well at Le Mans in the 1960s. Featuring a mid-mounted 3L V8 engine designed by Gordini... It unfortunately never made much of a mark at Le Mans. However, it would go on to compete in the world of rallying which was a fairly unique challenge for such a car. This car has a dramatically shortened tail for rallying, making it especially rare.
