Exploring and driving the Alpine GTA V6 Turbo: one of France’s most special cars ever
This is the Alpine GTA, a French sports car from the 80s, based on a model from the 70s, with rear-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive. The aspirations for this car were high - it was supposed to fascinate with the way it drives and compete especially with Porsche models. A bold claim. But did it live up to such high hopes?
Today we are discovering the intriguing story and engineering of the Alpine GTA V6 Turbo, but also explore and drive it, one of the most special cars France ever produced!
Special thanks to Oldtimer Gallerie Toffen in Switzerland for providing us the car! ► oldtimergalerietoffen

ABOUT Timeless Driving
Timeless Driving is dedicated to timeless passion for driving and timeless cars. It is not only about the age of a car but rather about the passion put into it. We love cars that have a timeless ingredient in them. It can be a proper historic model, manufactured 40 or 90 years ago, but it can also be a recent, 15-year-old model that is already treated with admiration. Or it can even be a present-day car that breathes passion and timeless potential in every bit. As we say - Timeless. Not necessarily old. Aware of great care classic cars deserve and aware of collecting value, but not necessarily elitist. Cars, motorcycle, trucks, motorsport, engineering, and unknown stories from past that are admirable today - all of them can be subjects here!

    What a fascinating and unusual looking car. In terms of looks, it's like a cross between a VW Passat MK1 and a Renault 20. But that's where the similarities end. Totally unique. German looking, but with French quirkiness.

      Sounds crazy now but here is my HF story. My dad had a guy working with him who put his HF on the company, it had a big end failure, he left the company and offered it for 500 quid as part of his settlement. This is how I learnt about rebuilding cars. We took the engine to pieces, washed it down, and rebuilt it with with white gloves. I was 18 ffs!! .... thank you for the video, it brought back some amazing memories.

    Tatra was probably the 3rd car manufacturer, after Mercedes and Peugeot. They started to build cars in 1897. VW Beetle is actually a copy of pre 2ww Tatra. Tatra 613 was a great car in 1973, unfortunately the communist government killed the car company, they forced Tatra to build semi trucks for Russia, the passenger car production was suppressed. So the Tatra 613 did not develop and in 1990 it was already an obsolete car. Tatra tried to make Tatra 700 in 1990, well it was already too late, too expansive and did not compete good any more. Tatra 613 was used also as a pace car in F1 in 1980es. The gear change did work good, just this tested car has some issues - the gear box is in the back and when it is not adjusted correctly, it makes problems then. The engine sound is great, though it does not sound good in the video. Check the sound in this video: ua-cam.com/video/Q9DsgvF7hQs/v-deo.html It sounds somehow between old Porsche 911 and old US V8 engine. Unfortunately Tatra cars are dead. Tatra still does produce semi trucks, mostly for off roads. Well this company was famous for a good passenger cars in the history.

    Much prettier but almost certainly far less reliable than my 1974 Mazda RX-4 13B Rotary auto that I bought as my first car in 1976 for $AU2,200, which was half its original sale price. 85,000 trouble free kilometres over 5 years for me (taking it to 108,000km) before selling it on. Still remember its swift performance for the day and the joy of its high revving rotary. Loved that car, but it did consume a 5L V8-like 17l/100km!

    I had the rare honour for my 21st birthday present in 1974 here to drive the new fuel injected Right Hand Drive SM owned by a neighbour who lived up the street, here in Sydney, I had a GS... as did my dad. It was a mind-blowing experience... The closest I came to ownership was a new 1978 CX Prestige EFI 5 speed with leather. It's self centring steering had 2.5 turns lock to lock v the SM - 2 turns. The CX missed out on the brake button - the brake valve was disguised as a pedal.

    Tatra is undoubtedly a nice car, but outdated. After all, the 603 model was produced from about 1956 to 1975 and the 613 to 1990. Western industry already had completely different cars. The 613 is a beautiful car, but it was produced earlier
