Alpine A310 Mouton

A legend of French rally, ready to race on track

The reference 51109 from Avant Slot captures one of the most special moments in Michèle Mouton's career: her participation in the 1976 Rally Mont Blanc behind the wheel of the iconic Alpine A310, alongside her co-driver D. Emmanuelli. A choice that perfectly reflects the spirit of Avant Slot: to recover real motorsport stories with historical accuracy and translate them into collectible miniatures with track performance.

Highlighted technical features

• Inline motor 9/27: inline configuration with the rear axle (longitudinal), which favours a lower centre of gravity and efficient mass distribution.
• Aluminium-core crown gear: greater rigidity and lightness compared to standard plastic crowns, with a more direct and precise transmission.
• Calibrated axles: ensure concentricity and a clean turn, reducing vibrations and improving corner stability.
• Rear aluminium wheels: reduction of unsprung weight and greater durability compared to conventional plastic wheels.
• Hard motor mount: rigid motor fixation that maximises efficiency in power transmission to the axle.

Scale and level of detail

Like the rest of the Avant Slot range, this Alpine A310 is manufactured in 1:32 scale with official livery decoration reproducing the numbering and colours of Mouton and Emmanuelli's car at Mont Blanc 1976. The body captures the characteristic proportions of the A310, one of the most recognisable French sports cars of the seventies.

Track behaviour

The combination of inline motor with hard mount, aluminium crown gear, and calibrated axles places this car at a preparation level clearly oriented towards club performance. The inline configuration favours traction out of corners due to better weight utilisation, and the transmission-axle assembly offers a clean and predictable response. It is a model that can be enjoyed straight out of the box, although it allows for fine adjustments for those looking to maximise its competitive potential.

Ideal for…

• Collectors of historic rally cars from the 70s.
• Slot enthusiasts looking for models with intermediate-high technical equipment.
• Club racers wanting a car with a solid base and room for preparation.
• Fans of the history of French rally and Michèle Mouton's career.

Aspects to consider

Avant Slot has its own spare parts catalogue compatible with its models, which facilitates maintenance and long-term preparation. Before racing in a club championship, it is advisable to consult the technical regulations of the category to verify that the factory configuration (or any modifications made) complies with the permitted limits.

History: Michèle Mouton and the 1976 Rally Mont Blanc

Michèle Mouton is one of the biggest names in the history of world rallying. Born in Grasse (France) in 1951, she became the first woman to win a World Rally Championship event —achieving this at the 1981 San Remo with Audi— and to contest the drivers' title, which she nearly won in 1982. But before her triumphs with the Audi Quattro, Mouton forged her competitive character in the French rally scene of the late sixties and seventies, driving cars like the Alpine A310.

The 1976 Rally Mont Blanc is one of the events the French driver participated in during this formative period, with D. Emmanuelli as co-driver. The Mont Blanc, with its high mountain alpine stages, was a demanding event that tested both the driver and the car. The Alpine A310, developed from the A110 but with a V6 engine and greater power, was at that time one of the benchmark vehicles in European rallying.

Avant Slot has chosen this precise moment —perhaps less known than Mouton's world victories, but equally authentic— to pay tribute to a figure who forever changed the perception of competitive motorsport.

Frequently asked questions

What type of engine does this Alpine A310 have?

It has an inline motor, meaning the engine axis is perpendicular to the rear axle and longitudinal to the car. This configuration lowers the centre of gravity and improves weight distribution.

What track systems is this car compatible with?

As a 1:32 scale slot car from Avant Slot, it is compatible with the main track systems on the market. For any questions about compatibility with a specific track, we recommend consulting us before your purchase.

Do the rear aluminium wheels affect track behaviour?

Yes. The aluminium wheels reduce unsprung weight on the rear axle, resulting in a livelier response and less inertia during direction changes. They are also more durable than plastic ones.

Can I use this car to compete in a club championship?

It depends on the technical regulations of each championship. The factory configuration —inline motor, aluminium crown gear, aluminium wheels— may be within or outside the limitations depending on the category. Check the regulations before registering.

Does Avant Slot offer specific spare parts for this model?

Avant Slot has its own spare parts catalogue for its models. Consult us for the availability of specific parts for this Alpine A310.
