Yes ...
That's still the one on top of my list, even before the A110.
For the moment I still have the Clio, Megane and 205XS ... so no 'room' for extra cars.
Alpine A110 R70. The last round of LE A110s.
770 cars coming with classic colors, but inside this LE, a short batch of 70 cars each, in blue, white and red. Basically, a R with its carbon parts ( aerodynamics, rims, roof , rear diffusor and side skirts, rear windscreen changed for a carbon one ), sa...
So true, now imagine the idea I have ....
Instead of building that A290 keep building the 'expensive' special edition A110's and develop an aluminium hot hatch that weighs around 1100 kilos. Make it a bit less better built and put an engine with 200 hp to keep the price reasonable. After that dev...
Absolutely not :-)
The 200 hp from a 1.4 turbo ? The 120 hp from a 1.4 NA ? With those kerb weights and modern engines fuel consumption at normal speeds would be amazing. Who better than you knows that a very light car is easy on wear, tear and fuel consumption when driven ...
Naahh, Caterham is fabulous I know.
But a hatchback that you can use: In the rain Carries 4 Grocery potential Comfortable Wicked fast (120 hp - 700 kilo remember ?) Safer (a bit). Definitely cheaper. A lot of people would be interested, but probably not enough to make this happen :-( It wou...

Fitting finale!
It is a nice final edition for sure. As for transition to electric, the A110 as it is now was a loss leader to revive the brand. A brilliant car but they would have needed to sell at least 5 times as many to cover the costs. Still, they put the brand on t...
I guess making more...
Would first of all produce a higher loss. And just like with some other brilliant cars, like the first NSX, the market wasn't there for more, unfortunately. A lot of what the owners and enthusiasts appreciate about the A110 simply doesn't have mass market...
It's fine, perfect for my prepper's garage!
Along with a Mini JCW, A GR Yaris, an Alfa Romeo Giulia... Any other forbidden fruits?
Such a shame such a great car will no longer be made.
I think for me the blue is the best colour, and piff who needs to see where they have come from only forward and side vision really matters. I wonder if Alpine hadn't spent so much on an F1 team maybe they could have used the money on this and other model...
