Birth of the Interlagos (1962‑1966)
The Alpine 108, branded as “Willys Interlagos,” was produced in Brazil from 1962 to 1966 under license by Willys‑Overland do Brasil. It was the first Alpine model built in the country and carried the name of Brazil’s iconic Interlagos racing circuit.
From A106 to A108 – A Generational Shift
The earlier Alpine A106 was continuously improved until 1961, after which the A108 became its direct replacement. This transition marked the move from the original French‑designed A106 to the Brazil‑produced Interlagos version.
Design and Engine Highlights
The 1963 Willys Interlagos Coupé, the second model in the Renault Alpine series, was designed by famed stylist Michelotti and manufactured under license in Brazil. A spicier version of Renault’s “Ventoux” engine was used in the Interlagos, making the car both performance‑focused and exceptionally rare.
