The new Alpine A110
celebrated its second anniversary a couple of months ago, yet a prototype of
the mid-engined sports car was spotted at the Nurburgring a few days ago. If we
were to take a guess, we’d say that it’s probably the rumored range-topping
version that will sit atop the normal car, much like the Renault Megane RS and
its Trophy derivative.
We haven’t brought
these two cars into discussion just for the sake of it. The modern A110 is
powered by the same engine, namely a 248 hp and 320 Nm of torque, 1.8-liter turbo-four. The RS Trophy is good for 296 hp and 400 Nm of torque which is also
the rumored output of the more track-focused Alpine.
The same report
that spoke about the alleged 300PS variant of the A110, which was rumored to
arrive this fall, perhaps at the Frankfurt Motor Show, also speculated about
other possible models. One of them was an open-top Porsche 718 Boxster rival
that’s tipped to debut next year.
Sportier A110
apart, Alpine is thought to be entering the SUV arena in 2021. The first-ever
high-riding vehicle in the reborn brand’s history will reportedly be based on
the Mercedes-Benz GLA will also get an electric variant in 2022.
