Après avoir écumé les victoires à l'indice de performance avec des 1000, 1300 puis 1500 cm3, la marque Alpine lance en 1968 ses nouvelles A220 3 litres à la conquête du Mans.
Hélas, le moteur étudié par Gordini manquait cruellement de puissance face aux Ferrari, Matra et Porsche de près de 400 ch. Les A220 se contentèrent des seconds rôles jusqu'en 1969.
Ce ne fut que partie remise puisque Alpine s'imposera au Mans en 1978 avec la A442.

The Alpine chough or yellow-billed chough, (Pyrrhocorax graculus) is a bird in the crow family, one of only two species in the genus Pyrrhocorax. Its two subspecies breed in high mountains from Spain east through southern Europe and North Africa to Central Asia, India and China, and it may nest at a higher altitude than any other bird. The eggs have adaptations to the thin atmosphere that improve oxygen take-up and reduce water loss.
This bird has glossy black plumage, a yellow bill, red legs, and distinctive calls. It has a buoyant acrobatic flight with widely spread flight feathers. The Alpine chough pairs for life and displays fidelity to its breeding site, which is usually a cave or crevice in a cliff face. It builds a lined stick nest and lays three to five brown-blotched whitish eggs. It feeds, usually in flocks, on short grazed grassland, taking mainly invertebrate prey in summer and fruit in winter; it will readily approach tourist sites to find supplementary food.
This picturesque area features mountain landscapes,
wildflower displays, streams and snowfields. Historic
mining areas are found throughout the Silverton
area, including the Animas Forks townsite and
Sound Democrat Mine. During the summer months,
the area features four-wheel trails and tours, which
make it easy to explore the Alpine Loop Backcountry
Byway. The winter season offers a variety of winter
sports including skiing at the expert-level, 1,300-acre
Silverton Ski Area and adjacent 13,000-acre permitted
heli-skiing area. In addition to three fourteeners and
more than a dozen alpine peaks, the Alpine Triangle
features spectacular landscapes, winding streams
and picturesque wildflower displays. Not only does
this area cater to those who love wildlife and nature
viewing, the area also offers trails designated for
OHVs and other types of motorized recreation.
