The Alpine A350 was a Formula One car designed for Alpine by Richard Bouleau in 1968. The model was powered by a V8 engine from Renault-Gordini sports cars. It featured an innovative flat suspension system and was tested by Mauro Bianchi on the Zolder and Zandvoort tracks. However, the project was vetoed by Renault because the engine was 100 hp weaker than the Cosworth DFVs, resulting in the A350 never participating in a Grand Prix.
