The Alpine A110 is a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car introduced by French car manufacturer Alpine at the 87th Geneva International Motor Show in March 2017.[1]

Deliveries were slated to begin in late 2017 for Continental European markets, and in 2018 for the UK, Japan and Australia[1][3] Both in name and design the new A110 harkens back to the original Alpine A110 produced from 1961 to 1977.

Specifications

Based on an all-aluminium construction, the A110 is powered by a 1.8-litre turbocharged 16-valve inline-four engine mated to 7-speed dual clutch transmission. Developed by Renault-Nissan and reworked by Alpine engineers, the engine has an output of 252 PS (185 kW; 249 hp) and 320 N⋅m (236 lb⋅ft) of torque.[1] According to its manufacturer the A110 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.5 seconds, and has an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).[1]

Other Media

The car attracted some attention in February 2018, when a company provided car caught fire while being filmed for an episode of the British television programme, Top Gear. The responding fire personnel were not able to control the fire, the car was burnt to destruction. [4]
