Alpine built its berlinettes around the PRV mounted behind the cockpit: 150 bhp in the A310 V6, 160 in the naturally-aspirated GTA, 200 in the GTA V6 Turbo — the lineage that led to the 250 bhp A610.
The first PRV Alpine: the carburetted 2,664 cc V6 (code 112-730), 150 bhp in a lightweight glassfibre body.
The naturally-aspirated GTA took the carburetted 2,849 cc Z6W-A — 160 bhp.
The 2,458 cc turbo (Z7U 730, shared with the Venturi 200) took the GTA to 200 bhp — 180 bhp in US trim (Z7U 732).
Catalysed at 185 bhp (Z7U 734) — or 210 bhp with the dealer-homologated Danielson preparation, detailed in Tuners along with the Pierangeli GTA.
Three generations of mid-engined Alpines climbed the PRV's power curve step by step. The story culminates with the A610 and its 250 bhp Z7X 744 turbo — the last and mightiest PRV Alpine.
The turbo engines of the GTA — the Z7U family — are detailed code by code in the Z7U file.
The A610 and its 250 bhp turbo — the file.
