Alpine A110 vs Monte Carlo Rally Stage | Top Gear

[@InvetorXD]

Great job mixing the history and emotion of the car in a short video. A beautiful work

[@greggb681]

WOW, this video is worthy of the Top Gear name! Amazing editing, brilliant cinematography, great host, and most of all, an amazing vehicle!

[@hulavaultboy5935]

It should be a crime that the A110 isn't sold here in the US.

[@Asian_Ron]

The US almost gets nothing cool from Europe...so all we can do is pray for one day

[@DemRizzo]

North American roads don't bend

[@SSRstudio]

because you have heavy regulations and a lot of restrictions on import cars

Yes, this is how you do car videos! Brilliant car, amazing roads, beautiful cinematics, good music and a spot-on review. Yes, yes, yes!

[@italianpizzanoodle2079]

I want one You can see the effort put into the car replicating the front lights 😱😱

[@FelixIsMyName]

The Alpine in the colour just looks stunning. It will be interesting to see how the aftermarket scene alters these cars.

[@dxme9190]

Yeah, I'll guess most companies would make Carbon parts to make it even more lighter

[@nicksokolis6343]

It is an extremely well balanced car that could easily be ruined with any additions. Lighter parts and at most 50-70 hp could be the only thing to improve.

[@bicyclist2]

I hope to be able to drive one some day. Unfortunately no one can get one yet. This is what a sports car should be. Thanks.

[@grandcarriage1]

IMHO, the original was one of the most beautiful cars ever produced. The retro looks wonderful, too. This was a great review: BEAUTIFULLY DONE.

[@DrNinjaful]

should compare this car to a Lotus Evora and a Alfa Romeo 4C

[@guigui70051]

The Lotus Elise 3 is closer than an Evora in terms of power

Superb job you've done here! My father gave me the passion of the alpine A110 bringing me to some hillclimb races all-around south of France! You make me feel 15 years younger chearing on the side of the road earring the four cylinder screaming ad seeing the little 1600s berlinette sideways in every corner! Merci beaucoup for this beautiful film!! Go one, top gear is back at the top of there game! cheers

[@hlad11]

Great feature video, great video journalism, great review ...Great

[@alphamaledriveshard]

1100kgs is considered light today? Damn. The original car was around 740kgs. Of course the new car will perform much better thanks to modern technology. But I can't help but wonder if Alpine could have made it lighter. By ditching the flappy paddle gearbox and sat nav. I can't imagine how well it can perform if it weighed under a ton.

[@1250GSX]

Agree. My miata is much lighter but older, but the new Suzuki Swift turbo with all the same compliance weighs in at 970kg. This is too heavy.

[@alphamaledriveshard]

@@1250GSX Yeah. The 4 door 1.3 litre Swift weighs 1060kgs. My series 3 Morris Oxford designed in the 50s weighs 1100kgs. I've modified it's 1500cc engine and was surprised to see it out running my uncle's Swift 1.3.

[@FEGTTTSDH]

Yes tons of features, and with a rigid body, olds cars doesn´t have anything of "heavy" things and zero safety equipment, yes I know for example somes AE86 weights arround 800 kg.

[@xanthuumnihyr5319]

Nowadays cars became heavier because of security restrictions, increase in engines power and efficiency, and electronic assistance. U can see, today sporty cars are quite heavy (especially german ones). A 1.8 ton vehicule like an A6 would have drive like garbage some decades ago. And further more, it's more appealing for the brand to spend money on a big engine with good figures than on a lightened chassis. Some manufacturers do have some "light" cars tho. I have a 308 (it's similar in dimensions to a golf) and it weights 1090kg.

The front dual rounded headlights design are straight forward from bentley

[@TheEowli]

Uhm, no the dual-round headlights are from the old a110, and bentley are hardly the first ones nor the only ones doing that headlight design....

[@Bike471]

I watch this car ( Alpine) in Turin... Great in Live

[@dazaro3]

Great car , great video.

[@pignonMZ6]

It's quite amazing, and rare, how the press is unanimous about this car. It's that good because it delivers on the promise that it would be light, nimble, sporty, functional and rather cheap. Renault did a fantastic job on this one, but I feel like we're all waiting for an even sportier version of the A110 before writing that check. I don't know if that's on the horizon but it definitely should.

[@mrmarrow8918]

Was it wearing 'winter/all-weather' tyres? Perhaps they contributed to some lose of steering feel?

[@frenchLeon]

It's the standard Michelin pilot sport 4 which are great. But I think the Michelin pilot sport 4 S could do the trick as they are a little bit stiffer on sidewalls.

Gorgeous Editing.

[@Skittleman2341]

I know some people in the US wish the Alpine A110 was sold here but here is the thing. Renault, the company that produces the Alpine A110, would have a hard time selling this in the United States, since Renault has not sold cars in the United States in a long time. I feel that there would only be so many people that would know what this car is, if Renault wound up returning to the North America market. That is the thing with some many other cool things that Europe gets that we do not get in the United States. I feel, vehicles like the Audi RS6 Avant, the new Ford Focus RS, and many other cool European cars would not sell that well here because people would not know they exist, unless you are a car person and you know about these cars. I feel that is why Ford was thinking long and hard about selling the Focus RS in the United States. I feel like car people get so excited with some European or Japanese only model finally hits the North American market and then people come to find out it is not as good as they thought it would be. Then the car companies lose millions of dollars on a model that only sold an X amount of units in the United States. Car people, take note and don't get disappointed when some model of a car from a manufacturer does not sell that brand or model in the United States market. Like, with Peugeot thinking about coming back to the United States car market. Will Peugeot make it in the United States? Who knows. Let's just be thankful for the cars that we get in the United States that other countries do not get, like the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon or Ford F-150 Raptor. I am sure there are people in Europe that wish they got one of those two models in Europe.

[@MrBreakingBud]

these cars are not suitable for small winding European roads

[@reitsmaassociates]

Applause!! Thanks

[@dyslexiusmaximus]

i think this is the best road based sports car in recent years. if you disagree please let me know. i don't want to argue i just want to hear peoples opinions. the porsche gt4, lotus elise and lotus exige are close competitors but i think as a complete road focused sports package the alpine takes the cake. i'd personalty take a lotus over the alpine but the alpine has a more beautiful exterior, interior and seems more exotic. i think the makers of this car judged the idea and engineered the end product masterfully.

[@fmc7209]
