A day on the track with the Alpine A 110.

 
 By: amanico : October 26th, 2020-09:05
I was invited by an Alpine Authorized Dealer to test the Alpine on the track. I already tested it on the small roads of Normandy, and on the highway, too, I had to go farther and have some fun on the track to test its limits, and to get some notions on ho...  

Nico, the best way to fight temptation is to yield :)

Great story, great pictures, great car. A day spent at the track "bonding" with your car is humbling for sure and rewarding in so many ways...

great review

The white S with the black wheels is very nice and also the dark grey in picture number 8. The pink one with the white wheels on the other hand looks awful. Too many blue ones, do you have a preference already?

It reads and looks like you had an incredible experience.

I hope you get your Alpine soon my friend. I too have experienced the humility of driving at a track and then watching the professional pilot my car. What an incredible difference. Did you experience a deep sleep that night? My professional pilot told me ... 

Fantastic report and pictures! now you are poisoned with track driving and racing - poor man ;-)

Since I did my first track day some 20 years ago I have done a lot of these experiences as regular trainings for an official European race license which I obtained some ten years ago. It is so much fun My current track car is the Alfa 4C which is way bett...  

Looks like a tremendous event!

I would love the opportunity to attend one of these track days some time...

Looks like fun! Any pictures of the interiors?

What color would you go for? I'd go for the darker blue or the grey.

Now that is how you sell sports cars! Looks like it was a great even and a dealer/brand that knows how to appeal to enthusiasts!

Good luck getting an a110! In addition to he car itself, it looks like a great community of owners which really completes the experience.

Sounds like so much fun, and more importantly a great opportunity to get yourself in these cars and be able to push them a little.

Is this something you can have (if you ordered) in a short time frame or is there a long lead on delivery? Are you now fully committed or are there still hesitation?

Looks like you had a good time.

I'll look forward to your assessment of the different versions. Looks like great fun!

interesting! [nt]

Looks like you had a blast. Any inside info on the potential for a good old manual transmission?

Thanks for the comprehensive coverage of what looks like a full day

Nice opportunity to check different exhaust setups too. It looks like history will repeat itself next month with the Alpine taking part to a real rally (albeit a typically muddy one - it won't be easy for the drivers!) www.lemagsportauto.com ...  

Thank you very very much for this wonderful report!

The Alpine is my favourite sports car today, by far... White might be the best colour, would you agree?

White with carbon roof is really tops.

 
 By: amanico : October 29th, 2020-23:25
A 110S: I must say this one is very tempting. As for the A 110 being your favorite sports car of the moment, I can only agree. I am doing my best to get one. Best, my friend. Nicolas ...  

Thank you, my friend, for this brilliant fotos. Yes, yes, yes... - white with black rims is absolutely perfect!

I‘ll have to check at the next Alpine center in Dusseldorf...
