A pure driver oriented car. I was most exited about this car at the show. Will be fully unveiled at the Geneva autoshow, will go from 0-100 kph in 4,5 seconds, and will start from 55,000 euros. Can't wait to see it unveiled!
I photographed this car in one of the car parks at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1994. It's an Alpine A310, a car that was a successor to the Renault-based Alpine A110 and was produced between 1971 and 1985. The first model, built from 1971 to 1976, had a 4-cylinder inline 1,605cc Gordini-modified engine, later increased to 1,647cc. In 1976 the car was restyled and received a more powerful 2,664cc V6 engine. I've no details about this particular car, but it appears to be one of the V6-engined models and has a German registration, the HF on the number plate indicating that it comes from the town of Herford in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Sub-Alpine Fir(Abies lasiocarpa) is easily Identified by its extremely narrow, spire like crown. They also have a very crisp, pungent smell. It is a general rule that the higher in elevation a tree grows, the narrower its crown. An obvious adaption to the higher snowfall at high elevation. And as its name implies, these trees only grow up high, usually above 7,500ft, to tree line(11,000ft).
