Renault preparing an Alpine comeback ?

Alpine A310It seems that Renault might be preparing a resurrection for the Alpine brand (in the photo an A310), to cash in on the Formula 1 world championship.

Rumours are saying that Renault is preparing a front-engined rear wheel drive coupe that should be ready in two years. The time-frame is plausible, considering that, thanks to Nissan, Renault doesn’t lack platforms on which to develop such a coupe quickly and cheaply: the 350Z and the Infiniti G35 Coupe without disturbing such a monster as the future futura GT-R

If it’s going to be a 350Z derivation, it might cost about 40-45.000 €, while a bigger coupe might cost about 60.000 €, maybe too ambitious for Renault, which doesn’t produce a RWD car with front-engine since 1952 (la Frègate).
