Official: New Alpine A110

[funwheeldrive]

Man, that is a beautiful design. Blows the Evora out of the water!

Pretty good concept, but we'll never get it in the US :/ I hope they make it though, 2400lbs and hp in the 200s should be pretty fun and unique.

I LOVE, LOVE the interior.


but I hate he awkward, harsh, downward slope from the roof to rear window to trunk.

Badass in black.

Its a cool looking car, but the tiny windows vs body proportions are killing it for me... It does not have that "low slung" feeling, maybe its just the angles of existing pictures.

There's a new Alpine sports car out, and it's coming to challenge the likes of the Alfa Romeo 4C and Porsche 718 Cayman.

Part of Renault's resurrected Alpine brand, it looks pretty much identical to the Vision Concept that debuted last year, bar some minor nips and tucks that push it closer to the assembly line.

Baptized the A110, which "reflects the timeless principles of compact size, light weight and agility that made the success of the Berlinette", it features a full aluminum platform and upper body, with obvious benefits in weight and handling.

Despite unveiling their first product in decades, Alpine are keeping key specifications hidden away, up until the new A110 makes its public debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, on March 7, at 1:15 pm CET (7:15 am EST).

However, previous intel tells us that the all-new Alpine A110 could feature a 1.8-liter turbo'd four-banger for propulsion, developing between 250 and 300 horses. Expect it to hit 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standstill in an estimated 4.5 seconds.

Alpine have already started taking orders for the Premiere Edition of the sports car ever since late last year, asking a €2,000 ($2,115) deposit to secure one of the first cars.

You are right the car does not look low slung at all. It's like being surrounded by the Great Wall of China. Reminds me of the Audi TT.

The world is always for the better when another "light-weight" mid engine sports car is born.

For me (assuming it's brought to the US) unless it's reasonably priced then the 4 cylinder engine is a non-starter. Reasonably priced being roughly $40k (definition varying greatly depending on car's weight).

If this actually gets built and sold in the US, id be extremely excited. It will likely be a direct competitor (successor?) to the 4C. Successor because the 4c is done after 2017 unless they figure out how to comply with curtain airbag laws.

That being said, mid 50k base and 2400-2500lbs with a turbo 4 is my best guess.

The Alpine seems to have a nicer interior, so it may be even more expensive/heavier

[Dadhawk]

Nope, not a fan. Don't like the angry bull flared nostrils in the front, the droppy nose, the way the front recesses look from the side, or pretty much anything happening behind the front door.

The currently available specs seem OK though. Probably means they'll sell a lot of them, just not to me.

Goshon should re-badge that as the Nissan Silvia and bring it to the US

You reckon crosstrek fender trim would fit on it?
