'''Alph |

'''Alphi''' was a car manufacturer in [[France]] from 1929 to 1931. Only four examples were known to be made. The first pair had a 6-cylinder 1485 cc C.I.M.E. engine and two seats. One raced at the [[1929 24 Hours of Le Mans]] while another was [[supercharged]] in anticipation for the 1929 [[French Grand Prix]], however it was not ready in time for the race and did not participate. It was notably heavy for the available power. |
|||
The other two were touring cars, powered by [[Continental AG|Continental]] engines, one a 2.6 litre 6-cylinder and the other a 5.0 litre 8-cylinder. They had an independent rear suspension with transverse rear axles, and rigid front axles. |
|||
Only two Alphis were surviving as of 1968; the supercharged race car and the 6-cylinder touring car. |
