Interesting matchup. A bit sad that Japan doesn't have any similarly-priced MR cars. Would love to see Toyota resurrect the MR2 turbo badge (with manual option pls!), but probably 0 chance of that now.

For your info ... tires in both cars are of same type (Michelin Pilot Sport 4). In BRZ they are 215/40R18 front and rear. In A110 they are 205/40R18 front and 235/40R18 rear. I would expect a bit better track time from Alpine, given the performance difference, higher torque from low RPM, less weight and rear tire advantage. A big thumbs up for the BRZ!

Either way, I think the comparison is moot as the Alpine is almost twice the price for the base version and is usually pitted against the Cayman et al in comparisons

I wish Nissan could work a deal to rebadge the A110 into the new Z car.

The 86 held its own really well IMO. A second slower. That extra second less for the Alpine is damned expensive. Put the Alpine against a Cayman and it would get eaten alive. The low weight of the Alpine compared to the Cayman is nice though.

Tsukuba circuit, which I mainly know from racing games, is a super short track, yet faster cars are taking a minute+ to clear that, so this track has to be even shorter. I would like to see a more equip 86 take on the Alpine though.

About a more equiped 86/BRZ, the 86 GR car had two seconds of difference on a bigger track. Of course, it is a different track. So, it cannot give us a clear understanding of how much the time would improve with the Alpine ... 86 GR: 1'18"40 BRZ Sti sport: 1'20"54 |

Something about the A110's shape bothers me especially when you see it from all angles. I find it to be the least sexy new MR car period but I would rather have it over a lot of other cars however.
