One was raced at that year&#8217;s Mille Migla and the car adopted the name \u2018Mille Miles\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The body was styled by Michelotti as a two-seat coupe based on the 4CV floorpan.<\/p>\n<h4>Press Release<\/h4>\n<p>Designed by Jean R\u00e9del\u00e9, this striking coup\u00e9 marked the beginnings of a brand that made its name at rallies the world over: Alpine.<\/p>\n<p>The Renault Alpine A106 was the brainchild of a motoring enthusiast, Jean R\u00e9del\u00e9. A young racing driver and Renault dealer, R\u00e9d\u00e9le bought a 4 CV in 1952 to compete in his 1st rallies. Jean R\u00e9del\u00e9 notched up a string of victories at the wheel of the standard and 1063 versions, including 1st in class in the 1952 Mille Miglia (1000 Miles) rally with Louis Pons as co-driver, and overall runner-up in the 1954 Tour de France!<\/p>\n<p>But Jean R\u00e9del\u00e9\u2019s dream was to design a small French sports model using production parts. The 4 CV was a good car but it was heavy and not sufficiently aerodynamic. After a few inconclusive attempts, R\u00e9del\u00e9 teamed up with the Chappe brothers, coachbuilders in Saint-Maur outside Paris. The brothers were already experts in plastic technologies. In 1955 their partnership produced the Alpine A106, an attractive car with a polyester body built on a 4CV platform. The Alpine owes its name to Jean R\u00e9del\u00e9\u2019s success in the Alpine Cup.<\/p>\n<p>In 1955, Renault officially joined forces with Alpine, the company founded by R\u00e9del\u00e9 following his win. The aim was to mass produce the Alpine racing car. The craftsmen from Alpine were responsible for assembly and bodywork, while Renault plants produced the chassis, engine and other production parts. In September 1955, the first 3 models in red, white and blue were presented to the press and to the President and CEO, Pierre Dreyfus, on the forecourt of the Renault Billancourt plant.<\/p>\n<h4>A collectors\u2019 dream<\/h4>\n<p>The A106 engines were fitted in Alpine\u2019s legendary workshop at 13 rue Forest in the 18th district of Paris. The engine existed in 2 versions: 21 and 38 hp. Buyers also had a choice between 2 gearboxes: the original 3-speed gearbox and a new 5-speed version that cost as much as the 4CV car! Despite its price, this \u201cfull option\u201d quickly won the favors of users.<\/p>\n<p>Small-scale production also left space for customization. From 1958, drivers could choose their own powertrains. The A108 model featured a powertrain inherited from the renowned Dauphine. Ultimately, just 300 examples of the A108 came off the assembly lines between 1955 and 1961. Today, many collectors would leap at the chance to acquire one of these rare jewels!<\/p>\n<h4>The birth of a dynasty of champions<\/h4>\n<p>The A106 was continually improved during the 6 years of production. In 1956, small round indicators were mounted at the front. In 1957, the Fr\u00e9gate windscreen was replaced by a specially designed part. The bodywork also underwent frequent face lifts over the years.<\/p>\n<p>This automotive jewel did not disappoint its designers. Between 1955 and 1960, it notched up a string of victories. With the Alpine, France enjoyed one of its most successful periods in motorsports. And the story did not stop there, since this founding model was the 1st in a dynasty of racing cars, paving the way for another motoring legend: the Berlinette A110&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Story by
