Alain Prost wins race with a Dacia Duster in France
Former Formula 1 champion Alain Prost won a second victory with a Romanian Dacia Duster in the Val Thorens race yesterday (Sun) during Andros Trophy competition in France.
Prost currently ranks second in the competition for 2010 after Jean-Philippe Dayraut.
Prost said he hoped to be able to compete for first place in the stages of the competition, which started at the beginning of December and finishes at the end of January. The third stage is scheduled to take place in 18-19 December.
Dacia Duster, the first SUV produced by Romanian car maker Dacia, will go on sale next year.
Dacia will launch the Duster model in two versions, the 4X2 and the 4X4, in Europe. Dacia Duster will be available in 4X2 and 4X4 models, with a 1.6 cylinder and 110 horsepower gasoline engine as well as with two diesel engines - one with 1.5 cylinders and 85 horsepower and one with 1.5 cylinders and 105 horsepower.
The model will have low fuel consumption, according to the manufacturer. The diesel-powered cars will emit fewer than 140 grams of CO2 per kilogram in the 4X2 version and fewer than 150 grams of CO2 per kilometre in the 4X4 version.
