Alpine

In 2019, SCX's first year as Scalextric licensee, the company released this new version of the Renault Alpine under reference U10238S300. Finished in an attractive metallic blue, it featured rear-wheel drive, front and rear LED lights, and a guide with an automatic return system. The model carried the Monte Carlo Rally livery, the names of the crew members Mouton and Conconi on the bodywork, and the name Paris on the doors — the city where the prologue stage began. The model is a reproduction of the actual car that competed in that rally in 1976.

The Alpine-Renault A110 1600 was one of the most successful rally cars of the early 1970s, renowned for its low weight, rear-mounted engine and outstanding agility. In its 1600 version it reached full competitive maturity and allowed Alpine to dominate the international scene. In 1973 it won the inaugural World Rally Championship for Makes, with drivers such as Andruet, Thérier and Darniche. It is regarded as a technical and sporting icon of classic rallying. In 1976, Michèle Mouton and Françoise Conconi made their debut with a commendable eleventh-place finish at the Monte Carlo Rally, driving an Alpine-Renault A110 1600 SC, which SCX used as the basis for its model reference U10238S300.
