Description
The Renault Alpine GTA was produced by Renault owned Alpine between 1986 and 1991. Based on its predecessor the Alpine 310 the new car boasted body integrated bumpers and distinctive front and rear lights these made the GTA one of the most aerodynamic cars of its time. Powered by a 2458 cc V6 turbocharged engine producing 200 bhp which propelled the car from 0-60mph in just 5. 8 seconds and onto a top speed of 155mph.
Alpine never made a convertible version of the Alpine GTA however German tuning company Autohaus Pahnhenrich GmBH saw a gap int the market for a convertible Alpine. The process was relatively straightforward thanks to its steel backbone body and glass fibre bodywork and only required minimal strengthening to the bulkhead along with rear roll over bar. Pahnhenrich conversions like all German bespoke built cars were bound by TUV rules and approvals which required every part being expected and declared road legal in Germany. While this made such conversions expensive it at least guaranteed that the build quality was to a high standard. Pahnhenrich take on the Alpine GTA was extreme and included fitting a wide format body kit along with 15” three piece BBS wheels with the rears being 11” wide, bespoke engine cover and a modest performance increase to 220 bhp.
The Alpine GTA Turbo convertible by Pahnhenrich offered here at Autostorico is finished in Burgundy with matching bespoke Koenig leather interior. This exceptional 17, 121 mile example was road registered in Germany in late 1997 and sold to the first UK owner in December 1999.

Recent works have included fitting new period correct carpets along with a re-trim in Koenig leather interior a new hood and a mechanical overhaul.
