Alpine A 110: The last of the Mohicans?
Jan 14, 2021,09:14 AM
It seems that the days of Pleasure Cars will soon be over...
Two factors:
1/ The taxes on fuel cars will increase in a terrible way. For 2021, the tax for a Porsche Cayman, the " basic " model, will be over 20, 000 Euros. And 10 K more next year. To be clear, for new cars, not used, and when you buy them, not after.
2/ Alpine just unveiled their intentions for the A 110 and the rest of the Alpine cars: They will become 100% electric. The 110 will be made in collaboration with... Lotus which decided to make electric cars only, from 2022.
So the days of the A 110 as we know it now are counted...
One more reason to enjoy mine more!
Here are some pictures of a A 110S of one of my friends:
Normal mode:
Track mode ( my favorite, in terms of feelings ).
Long life to the A 110!
Pictures of mine will soon come.
Best,
Nicolas
