There's a new Alpine sports car out, coming
to challenge the likes of the Alfa Romeo 4C and Porsche 718 Cayman. 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.
Alpine are keeping key specifications hidden away, up until the new A110 makes
its public debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.
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 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
(US$ 2,115) deposit to secure one of the first cars.
