My GT7 Log: Know Your Legends - The Alpine A220

Let's get to know about the legendary cars that are hard to get in Gran Turismo 7's Legend Cars not only because of their extreme rarity that appears once in a blue moon but also their outrageous price tag that takes almost forever to save one. Today, let's get to know about the Alpine A220 Race Car, a racing machine that shows that Alpine is not just a maker of dominant rally cars like the A110.


Served as the successor of the A210 racing machine, the A220 is Alpine's failed attempt to gain an overall win in the 1968 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. Under the hood, the A220 is powered by a 3.0L V8 engine that produces almost 296HP of power and weighs 176lbs less than the A210. The A220 is the last racing machine made exclusively by Alpine before the Renault takeover.



Let's find out how fast the A220 Race Car goes around the Goodwood Motor Circuit. Roll the tape.


It did it in 1:27.646, which is rather impressive for Alpine's failed attempt to win Le Mans overall but it's still an iconic masterpiece that time nearly forgot.

What other hard-to-get legendary cars should I drive next? Stay tuned for more.
