The following year Alpine further developed the car into the <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/lemans.slot-racing.fr\/le-mans-1965\/images\/Alpine-M64-47-LM65-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">M65<\/a>, but all cars DNF. As a result of the 1965 failure Alpine completely overhauled the design, and created the <b>A210<\/b>. In the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, the A210 debuted with a 1-2-3 finish in the energy efficiency index. The engine was a feisty Renault <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/5764304bebbd1a9356def4e2\/t\/59a729cae45a7c582581f435\/1504127440268\/?format=1500w\" target=\"_blank\">inline-4<\/a> with 1296 cm\u00b3, prepared by Gordini.

They filled the grid with 11 (!) cars, including the A110, A210 and A220. In fact, just the factory team brought four A210s to the race. And to maximize their chances, the team used two different engines on their cars. Two cars (#52 and #53) had the big 1.3 engine while two (#55 and #56) sported a smaller 1.0 engine. Car #52 (chassis <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/newsdanciennes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Alpine-A210-aux-24h-du-Mans-1968-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">#1721<\/a>) was one of the cars with the big 1.3 engine. Piloted by Jean-Luc Th\u00e9rier and Bernard Tramont it finished 19th overall. Not a great result, true, but as a bonus they won the Index of Energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.w-143.com\/+upload\/a-h\/alpine_a210_52_03.jpg\" alt=\"A210 \"\/><figcaption>B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l livery!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted a <i>proper<\/i> Alpine for a <em>loooong<\/em> time.
