Download or read book Alpine Renault A310 written by Frédérick Lhospied and published by Editions Techniques pour l'Automobile et l'Industrie. This book was released on 1999 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sa ligne était superbe, sa tenue de route exemplaire, son confort exceptionnel, le freinage au-dessus de la moyenne... alors ? Le moteur ! Il s'agissait toujours, bien entendu, du quatre cylindres Renault déjà installé sous la A 110 1600 S, qui présentait quand même quelques avantages : consommation plutôt peu élevée, réelle fiabilité, performances appréciables. Toute voiture résulte d'une somme d'éléments qui aboutissent à un compromis complexe devant répondre à un marché, à une demande. Mais il arrive que ce résultat ne corresponde pas, ou peu, aux attentes de la clientèle, qui d'ailleurs ne sait pas elle même précisément en quoi ses espoirs sont déçus. Ce fut, hélas, le destin de la A 310 quatre cylindres. Puis vint la V6, dont l'histoire n'est pas très éloignée de celle de la quatre cylindres. Ligne également superbe, confort exceptionnel, remarquable silence de fonctionnement, freinage impeccable, mais tenue de route moins exemplaire... alors ? Le moteur ! Superbe machine à rouler, la A 310 est aujourd'hui considérée pour ce qu'elle est, pas pour ce qu'elle aurait pu ou dû être. Chaque version a ses admirateurs et, avec le temps les petits défauts de l'une ou de l'autre se sont estompés, et seul demeure le plaisir de rouler dans cette voiture de grand tourisme, longtemps unique dans la production française. Très agréable à bien des égards, elle aurait mérité une meilleure diffusion tant ses qualités, redécouvertes aujourd'hui, étaient bien réelles. De la genèse à la fin de la commercialisation en passant par les relevés des performances, les chiffres de production, la fabrication, la compétition, les prototypes et même le vénérable moteur PRV, le lecteur trouvera tout sur la A 310. Aucun livre, jusque-là, n'avait été consacré à l'A 310, excellente voiture et véritable Alpine : ce manque est aujourd'hui comblé.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 365 Sports Cars You Must Drive puts you in the driver's seat of a century's worth of sports car legends (and a few rather less legendary), each presented with a fun and informative profile and fact-and-spec box. It's the ultimate gearhead's bucket list and poses the challenge: How many have you driven? Whoever coined the phrase "getting there is half the fun" must have owned a sports car. And the wag who suggested that "it's the journey not the destination"? Probably driving a Lotus or MG at the time. From towering icons like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Corvette to everyman sportsters from Triumph, MG, Sunbeam, and Miata to oddballs like Crosley, Sabra, and DB, sports cars inspire passion and strong opinions as few other vehicles on the road can. In one beautiful book, long-time Road & Truck magazine chief photographer John Lamm, along with other top motoring contributors, gives the reader illustrated profiles of every sports car you've ever dreamed of driving! Now, imagine if you could drive a different sports car—any sports car—every single day for a year. Which would you choose?

Book excerpt: Though American Motors never approached the size of Detroit's Big Three, it produced a long series of successful cars that were distinctive, often innovative and in many cases influential.

The Gremlin, Pacer and Eagle vehicles are examined in detail, as are the AMC custom cars of George Barris and Carl Green.

The evolution of Jeep is covered from the 1960s through the 2000s. Features include some 225 photographs; a listing of AMC / Rambler clubs, organizations and business entities, with contact details; tables of detailed specifications and performance data; data on technical devices, trim packages and all model variations; a comprehensive account of AMC / Rambler appearances in film, television and cartoons.
