Automotive

The Alpine Renault A 110 is one of these cars which are part of the Automotive Legends, and not only for the French People. Born in 1962, and produced for 16 years, this sportscar à la française attended some famous Rallyes, such as the Monte Carlo, and w...  

Front. I just can't get over the lights, I understand its a homage to the original but for me it's a killer no. Cheers S

The interior is very richly finished. It's definitely a very appealing car for the mid-Engined lover. But I wonder how it compares to the Porsche Cayman and the Alfa Romeo 4C. And sadly this car is not sold in the USA. Great photos of the interior! The in... 

Is the most gorgeous between Alpine, Cayman and M2. It is voluptuous perfectly in every section and angle. Next I would choose A110. It has more unique silhouettes than Cayman and M2. I feel Caymans more loveliness yet too conservative. In terms of Fun an... 

minor things: the really small luggage space for weekend trips with the wife; no servo-steering which can be an issue with parallel parking for some people; no chance to drive up or down on ramps (i.e. parking garages) without hitting its nose. But once y... 

Sounds like your Alfa Romeo 4C is a purebred sports car. I really like cars with no power steering. I like the weight of the steering, it doesn't bother me at all! My first car had very heavy steering (it was powered but just heavy). And one of the great ... 

that I purchased two of it (first a coupe and later the spider); the coupe is the ultimate race edition, weighs with 890kg even 130 kg less than the spider and I use it on track and for high speed autobahn driving ...  

Alfa Romeo should do an interview on you!

Goodness I like simple non distracting interiors... What a beautiful car your 4C is!

so I went for tobacco brown which is probably nicer also in a few years

The red interior goes well with the black exterior. But that cinnamon brown looks fantastic! Either red or brown would work extremely well!

For me (you?) the pure in Bleu Alpine. In the supercropped image a tonnerre mat gris one I spotted in Barcelona a few days ago. Keep us updated... Simone ...

Next would be Mexico Blue I never like metallic colour with carbon roof

A brighter color would be great if it were a weekend car.

We don’t get to see these in Canada unfortunately. I like the honest review, especially the view and mandatory options. Looks like a very fun to drive not so common sports car. It reminds me a little bit of a lighter and probably less forgiving R8 - espec... 

I did say lighter (Alpine) and less forgiving. I meant mainly aesthetically predominately on the interior and middle weight distribution. I imagine the Alpine is a more lively drive.

I sat in a pure model but yet have to go for a test drive. As a daily driver a minor complaint seems to be the lack of storage in the cabin, which I guess takes some creativity and getting used to. Looking forward to your decision!

A great car tested at Magny Cours... Cool, shape and efficient on track. A small diet to lose weight would improve it, provided that care is taken to maintain a good distribution of masses. an adjustable suspension would not be too much either in order to...  

Wouldn't it be too much??? Aaah, and while we are at it, a small diet, I would loose 5 kilos, easily. No, I agree with everything but the watches... Thanks, mon ami. Another review on my choice will come. Nico

And - if the practicability, mainly the luggage space, would be better, it would be mine already ❗️❗️ But nevertheless, it doesn‘t go off the list. ... 🙈😆

„ But you have enough place to go with some serious luggage“

You have to order a storage space that is located between the two sits, and two other small ones you can put beside each seat, between the seat and the door.

The pics look great! Sadly we don't get the A110 stateside but I love the design and engineering ethos of the car. IMHO this is an amazing time to buy a new sports car. With traditional sports cars having stepped into 500+hp super car territory, it has cr... 

Yes, you are right, they seem to remember how to make thrilling cars. Alas, I fear these are the last years of that kind of car. The tax for the Alpine is around 1400 euros, this year. Next year, it will be around 2500 Euros. For the Cayman? 20, 000 Euros... 

We will see how government's will choose to treat petrol cars in the future but certainly this is the last generation of ice affordable sports cars. Ferrari has extended the 458 to a 3rd refresh of the platform, Porsche is extending the Cayman and Macan t... 

Thanks for the post, it looks great. It brings back fond memories of my R8 Gordini, 1300 I had in 1971. I think the Gordini engine was also used in the Alpine.
