Alpine A110: The Gentleman Racer - Why it is the most original sports car out there

In a time when every manufacturer is desperately trying to fill in every market niche and segment, Alpine A110 feels fresh and original, despite sticking to some basic and well-known principles.

The whole point of driving the car is the smile on your face? We, who drive Mazda Miatas, know exactly what you mean! But absolutely, Alpines are magnificent machines. No doubt, most of us could be satisfied with a car like that!

Corrections - A few things I realised are wrong since uploading the video; 1. Jean Redele was 24 not 25 years old when took over his fathers Renault dealership. 2. Name of the lady driving the 2018 Alpine A110 is spelt Corrine, not Karin.

The deal today for a sport car maker is not the race for engine horse power but it is to make a performant sport car with a light weight and a small CO2 emission. A ratio weight / hp combined with a light weight will always be more performant on a twisting circuit than the same ratio combined with heavy weight. in other words the ALPINE A110 S ratio 1114 KG / 292 HP (3,81) will be more performant than the same ratio 1440KG / 378 HP (3,81) (....Porsche 718 ). Unfortunately, on the commercial market, the car makers attract customers with the number of horse power.. 600hp, 700hp, and now some at 800 hp. This is the race to horse power with crazy CO2 emission because this cars are heavy. The Alpine A110 is the only one on the right way. The Alpine engineers worked a lot to save weight in a daily usable car. All sport car makers (Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes....have to change their strategy and work to create performant supercars, BUT with half C02 emission (I am not talking about electrical development which is not a solution because batteries create other big pollution issues people forget). ALPINE shows the direction

Agreed 100%, light is right

Adrian's Carpinions I subscribed to your channel and will be on the lookout for your future videos. I’m also looking forward to seeing your channel grow!

[@adi21071]

@@1professor Thank You! In the meantime feel free to check out my 'Car Stories' series, it's in a similar style as the above video but focuses more on stories people form around their cars. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mouvlJatiMSribs

I would dearly like a new A110 , I would dearly love a 1970s A110

[@aureliobrighton1871]

Bolting huge power to small chassis, let chips drive it is far from it. Beautiful as your film work. Merci. :)

[@arno222444]

Beautiful video, I am French and I understand your English no point here. ;-) The sound is well balanced I don’t get the criticism. I subscribe because your work is fantastic and you deserve more subs.

[@adi21071]

Thank you for you kind words Arno! This channel is currently most dormant, all of my new work of this kind is posted over on Rebel Classics, take a look there if you would like to see more of this type of content. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5XQkoCKlLdlfdk

[@bobklee2397]

I m English and don’t have a problem either, perfectly understandable

[@willpine7343]

Great Production!, and Awesome insight..but the most important question is....does Jay Leno have one? Considering his love for French cars. But your right this is a very original and very smart thinking, important car.

[@dannsmcshane1233]

Good video but your English is hard to make out

[@19Edurne]

And the added music doesn't help either... Should have gone without it; I understand half of what he says.

[@yankee2yankee216]

The new Alpine is BIGGER...

[@progste]

I wouldn't say original since it's prettybmuch a luxury lotus elise, but it's definitely a nice car!

[@19Edurne]

There's work to be done on the sound quality. The volume is too low - I barely hear the interviewees (I hear the birds chirping way better than the person speaking); your accent is quite noticeable and you mush your words, yet you put music in the background so we can make out even less of what you're saying... Too bad, because it looks interesting and the cinematography is quite good. Another vid ruined by unnecessary music and bad sound... Let's hope it will improve in the future. :)

[@sambagogo777]

Such as shame that the new car was a commercial disappointment.

[@AnnicK.Zoloft]

It sold really well, not sure what youre talking about

[@Jay-xr3sb]

In the uk yes, sells very well in France. I'd love to pick one up a little cheaper in a few years
