Alpine GTA V6 Turbo Europacup-type radiator


By 2009, the original radiator for the Alpine GTA V6 and GTA V6 Turbo had become impossible to find.
Mespiecesauto developed a dedicated remanufactured version based on an original radiator, with two prototype cycles and real-world validation — air conditioning included.
The result: no more overheating. Over 200 GTAs fitted since.

62 mm core and optimised design

This Alpine GTA V6 Turbo radiator features a thicker 62 mm core, combined with a louvred design to improve heat exchange between the air, the fins and the coolant.
The aim is not simply to increase the water volume, but to improve the radiator’s ability to dissipate heat continuously, particularly on a heavily worked V6 Turbo engine.

To understand in detail the development of this radiator, the concept of wetted perimeter and the differences between the cores available on the market, read our article:

Direct fit

  • Original reference: 6001006627
  • Fitment: Alpine GTA V6 Turbo
  • Compatible with the air-conditioned version
  • Installation with no modification: fits in place of the original radiator

Other radiators on the market: beware of the actual core

Not all Alpine GTA V6 Turbo radiators are equal. They may look similar, but the core thickness, internal design and heat-exchange capacity can vary greatly.

A thinner core can reduce manufacturing cost, but that does not necessarily mean a better delivered price for the customer.

Here is a comparison of delivered prices observed for various radiators available on the market:

Advertised core Observed delivered price
45 mm — competitor €278.98
56 mm — competitor €294.95
45 mm — competitor €374.90
60 mm — competitor €474.90
60 mm — competitor €574.50
62 mm — Mespiecesauto €269.00


Key point:
the displayed price alone is not enough to properly compare two radiators.
You must compare the delivered price, but also the core thickness, its exchange surface, its internal design and its real compatibility with the original fitting.

Going further

Cooling an internal combustion engine is often more complex than it seems:
exchange surface, air speed, water flow, core architecture and operating conditions all play an important role.

🔧 Benjamin's advice

When replacing the radiator on your Alpine, remember to thoroughly clean the entire cooling circuit. One of the known problems of the PRV engine is the build-up of sludge around the liner bases. These deposits can promote corrosion of the engine block and impair proper coolant circulation. A complete drain along with a flush of the circuit can only be beneficial.

Also take advantage of the job to check, and replace if necessary, the front hoses and the heater kit
