Hmm, I remember a friend having one of the Alpine turbo versions (not sure
if they were ever sold in the US?) and it was a really fun car,
particularly on twisty hillside roads :-)

Power output even without the turbo was twice that of the standard
vehicle, though, so it was a reasonable power/weight ratio in something
with a reasonably sort wheelbase...

And an even shorter service life!

Most of them were crashed before they ever got to that point ;-)
