Le Mans winning 1978 Alpine-Renault A442B V6 Turbo sounds!
22 Marzo, 2025
During the Goodwood Festival of Speed I filmed this Alpine-Renault A442B.
A powerful twin-turbo V6 engine and sleek aerodynamic bodywork helped the A442B take pole position at Le Mans in both 1976 and 1977, but engine failures during the race ended any hope of victory. Renault would not be denied in 1978, though, when the car driven by Didier Pironi and Jean-Pierre Jaussaud won by five laps.
