Here's Your First Look At The New Alpine A110
After a relentless flood of teasers, Renault has finally revealed the new sports car that’ll relaunch the Apline brand. Almost.
Full details haven’t been divulged just yet - we’ll have to wait until the Geneva Motor Show for that. But we now have a couple of images to study, both of which show it looks near identical to the gorgeous Alpine Vision concept revealed last year. Plus, we know now its name: A110.
The name is an homage to the rear-engined A110 of the 1960s, one of Alpine’s most famous cars.
Unlike the old A110 though, the new one will be mid-engined. Based on what has been teased thus far plus the odd report and rumour, it’ll do 0-62mph in around 4.5 seconds, be powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged Renault engine with around 250bhp, and be a bit of a lightweight. Don’t be surprised if it tips the scales somewhere near the 1000kg mark.
It’s also expected to cost around £50,000, which puts it in Porsche Cayman and Alfa Romeo 4C territory.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I heard it would be a 1.8-litre, which will be derived from the current Clio-RS power plant !
Willys already made a concept retro version of the Alpine called the AW 380 in 2014, ….and yes it’s the same Willys that made the Jeep.
if this is a real thing its going to have a ton of ls swaps done to it and 2jz swaps to it
