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.

Its not a Porsche though
I don’t understand Renault. They don’t have a sports car but race in F1 but their sporty sub brand races in LMP2. That’s a bit odd, isn’t it?
That moment when you realise that you should have waited before buying a Cayman…
SRT Viper front end (minus those inner lights) + RX-7 Fastback + Audi Rear end (from side angle)… Interesting, I like it!
The real question is; does it rally?
So the question now is would you buy this or a lotus evora ,a Porsche coxster or a 4C
Beautiful.
Looks great!
Amazing 👌
