==In-game description==
===Car Index===
"A different facet of Alpine: a 3 liter V8 Le Mans car."
While Alpine's image is deeply tied to rally racing due to their immense success with the A110, they have also had a long history of success on the track, with the development of prototype racing cars in the 1960's.
The M63 developed in 1963, the improved M64 of 1964, and the further improved M65 of 1965 each won several races they competed in. The even further developed A210 achieved respectable success in competition, even dominating 1st to 3rd place in the energy efficiency index of the Le Mans 24 hour race in 1967, plus two class victories in the same year. 
Aiming to take the overall win in the next Le Mans 24 hour race, Alpine introduced the A220 in 1968. A new 3 liter V8 producing over 295.8 BHP was developed, and combined with a newly designed tubular frame that was roughly 80 kg lighter. 
Unfortunately the Alpine team faced various issues during the main race and did not achieve the desired result, but as the last hero car of Alpine before becoming a part of the Renault group, this car commands the respect of long time Alpine fans.
