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.

Download or read book Lotus Esprit written by Johnny Tipler and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Lotus's flagship model for almost three decades, the Esprit was launched in 1976 and remained in production for over a quarter of a century. It received regular refreshment along the way, principally to its original Giorgetto Giugiaro design and, from 1987, to its later Peter Stevens incarnation. Both iterations enabled the Esprit to maintain its position at the forefront of its market segment. Regularly compared to the best available from its German and Italian rivals, the Esprit was equally at home on the race track as it was on the road. A promising return to top-line international GT racing saw the Esprit compete on equal terms with the likes of Ferrari and McLaren, whilst, back in the showrooms, the car was selling for a fraction of their cost. The legacy of the Esprit can clearly be seen in current Lotus models whose core design brief is that they should always be the finest handling vehicle with the deftest of steering, feedback and feel. With over 300 stunning images, including professional photos, factory archive pictures and specially commissioned artworks, and featuring several interviews with Lotus personnel intimately concerned with Esprit production, this volume is a fitting tribute to a masterpiece of design and technology.
