Well, if 1200 Kilos, not that bad. The Cayman is 1400+++. But I see you point.
Alpine A110 R Ultime.
Ultime in terms of summit in this family, with a new gear box ( 6 speed instead of 7, but allowing more torque ) and in terms of power, 325 HP instead of 300. In terms of price, too, as the 110 cars in this version are already sold out, despite the 265000...
Cool looking car. Nice upgrades, especially losing a gear and adding HP
But 265k Euro? YIKES. Quite a bit of competition at that number. I would rather have your model (and you obviously have completed many upgrades to it).
It has no competition ...
... because it's sold out Alpine knew there was enough interest in a car like this I guess.
Very cool car.
Pretty crazy price point. A hell of a lot of competition in the 250-300K EUR range........
Alpine will stop the fueled A110 ?
... naaaahhhh They know that if they go full electric on the new A110 it will be a disaster. ...
Hybrid would make it heavy, unless ....
... they put in an extremely lightweight engine like a turbocharged 3 cilinder. That shouldn't be a big issue as BMW already made a fun car like this ... remember the i8 with the 1.5 ? I guess weight would go up by at least 100 kilo's :-( .... so maybe th...
Mehhhh
That's going the 'Cayman' way :-( ... Wish they kept the 1100 kilo. We will see ... A110 or RX-7 FD for me ;-)
We shall see ...
... just had a go in my friend's A110 ... what more can one need ? Add 150 kilos and some electric power and it will spoil the fun, it will still be a very competent and funny car but not like the 'original' one.
