Styling for this car was contracted on the Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti. Under the glassfibre body was an exceptionally stiff chassis based on the central tubular backbone that has been to be the hallmark of all Alpines built.Alpine then took this Michelotti cabriolet design as well as developed a 2+2 closed coupe body for it: this became the Alpine A108, now featuring the Dauphine Gordini 845 cc engine, which on later models was bored out to supply a capacity of 904 cc or) 998 closed circuit.
