2012 Alpine A110-50 Proto - TEST DRIVE

[@marcoffs95]

Never thought a V6 could sound this good!

[@sslredes]

Sounds like a beast Formula 1 car from 90's.

[@patrickmurphy5842]

DriveClub brought me here- its one of the best cars in the whole game - engine note and handling

[@arleco12]

And that's how you show a car: not with a shitty backing music track, but with the engine sound in full display!!!

[@RadostinVelchev]

That engine sound gives me an eargasm.

[@bobdole4088]

that sound is intoxicating!

[@MrManuel1329]

For real! Omg I almost cried lol

[@blessinem]

4330/1961/1230 mm 880 kg - 47.8% front Renault V4Y - V6 3.5 litre 400hp/7200rpm - 422Nm/6200rpm

[@alzailaie07]

One of the most sensational cars I have ever see , great job renault

[@jay0kew]

i hope it gets in production one day. in the 80's we loved the A310 and the R5 maxi turbo. it's time for Renault to give us back our dreamcars.

[@ali_films]

yeah the sound of down-shifting can make other cars cry. nice!

[@Niyologist]

That downshift sounds powerful. Wondering how well this car will perform when it reaches its' full tuning potential.

[@Twisted_Tempest]

Holy shit, that sound! :O

[@Trazothex]

1:09 what a sound

[@NoFakeNewsWorld]

11 ans après.......toujours aussi belle !

I love this car. And I love this video now, for showing it for REAL

[@MrBeaugosse60]

Well done Renault, this is a beautiful car and it is obvious that the car handling is and will be magic, go and produce it and I will become a proud owner. French Car Manufacturers have demonstrated for years that they are capable of beating any other car brands in terms of performance and product reliability (Citroen 8 times consecutive winner of the WRC rally world championship; Renault in F1 (with Red Bull these last years, with Prost when he was active); Peugeot also dominated Le Mans series

[@rvankooij6637]

so there are still people working at Renault who live and love cars instead of all the plastic shit the produce. This is the best they have developed in the last decades.

[@ΕύηΛαμπρέα]

What are you talking about, my 2003 Clio is still almost new after 13 years and 116.000 km. Low fuel consumption and 100+ hp, small and large at the same time. We are also getting a brand new Duster soon. What is your problem?

[@conurelover1684]

Dream Car!!!. Have always loved the Alpine!!!

[@Mystico11]

5* I'm from Germany and I really love german racecars BUT this renault alpine is really really nice! good work ;) I hope to see AND hear it at 24hours race nürburgring next years :)

[@MrJohnys90]

Engine-wise, Alpine A110-50 runs the Renault V4Y engine block, a 3.5 litre 24-valve 400hp V6 mounted in a mid-rear position.

[@TAMBOREBRIO]

the first renault that gets me on shock!!!! awsome and beautiful

[@guillaumeleroux463]

The sound is beautiful !!!!!!

[@manalalo9136]

Es bello a más no poder. Y suena genial.

[@simondr70]

Performance Engine: 24 Valve 6 Cylinder Displacement: 3498 cc Horsepower: 400 HP Max RPM: 7200 rpm Torque: 311 lb-ft @ 6200 rpm Transmission: 6-Speed Automatic

[@sandislo]

yes legend is back

[@tomaszbaron5654]

1:09 - and listen to this ;D

[@aLaSchnairre]

1:09 love that downshift

[@dlavian5400]

What a crazy good sound!

[@rolandmendoza4068]

wow I like the exterior and the sound :))))

[@jayrap94]

I love this car! I just love this car!

[@Kookanoodles]

Not to mention the retractable hard top of the Peugeot 601 (1934), Citroën in WRC, the mobile headlights and disc brakes of the DS, and so on !

[@robcarhood]

Sounds amazing!

[@ZbLuffer]

I wonder which kind of gearbox they fitted in this one: it seems super fast. A double clutch auto a la DSG on a French car is long overdue. As this is a prototype/show car, it's probably getting an Aisin or Getrag for the moment though. Given the reputation of the chassis of the Megane, it sure can cope with more power, but 400hp? I can't wait for track reviews...

[@chriscars3578]

It a beautiful looking car and sounds fantastic

[@alexboehm7171]

the downshifting 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@samados969]

If we talk about the DS range, yes, it is a the same Level of quality as Audi A1 to A5 and BMW 1, 3 and 5. I'm not talking about the top of the range of German cars, it is an other world.

[@richa237]

Great sound track!!!!

[@andreaspley8827]

Bringt dieses Auto auf die Strasse!!!! so ein geiles Teil, ich würde den sofort kaufen!

[@alfonsootanes6653]

Sounds better than the Lexus LFA. This is one of the best looking cars. They should make a Hot Wheels version.

[@clio2rsminicup]

10a) 3) Afterward even when France was reconstructed & had become again a rich Nation, the French builders remained on this niche of cars cheap & economic & left the market of the very luxurious & ultra sports cars at the top of range which they dominated before the WW2 for the alone ... German...

[@TrojanThug]

That's not a car, it's a beast.

[@Stevieboy130664]

Make it, Renault! Sensational with just the right amount of French weirdness!

[@rabulc]

Amazing sound, like old F1

[@lolojardi]

Ma ma Miahh!! Quel son cette voiture!! Ils ont mis quoi comme moteur?? Nissan skyline?? Une chose est sûre, s'ils font aussi fort que pour la megane Rs trophy , elle va envoyer du lourd cette alpine?? Le record du nurbogring en propulsion est visé ?? Pourquoi pas!! A suivre!!

[@nicolasdurand5600]

c'est un moteur de Mégane RS Trophy justement. Renault avait annoncé 800 kilos sur la balance pour son bolide, si c'est vraiment le cas cette voiture va être une bombe (pas une Weber F1 one mais quand même)

[@josebalerden2082]

Motor 100% renault

[@chriscoolTV]

Même moteir que course Mégane trophy soit un v6 3.5L @420 hp pour 1100 kgs

[@TheMaxiviper117]

Man that things sounds epic

[@stefancoppejans8532]

Whaw a beatiful car and a nice sound I like this greetings Stefan Coppejans

[@lucaslee9039]

i love the concept one

[@Shockate]

This car should be in the next best SF movie !!!!

[@guillermoleon3450]

Está muy claro que cuando Renault decide hacer algo fantástico, lo hace.

[@jonemill2400]

此車太炫了。是一部夢幻車款。

[@lorilori311]

Its sound like formula 1, great sound!

[@syourt]

I really really hope they gonna take it in production.. But if you own one of these... you just don't want to put a license plate on it O.o.. Superb car!

[@dj_paultuk7052]

If that isnt just the best car in the whole world, ever, i dont know what is........

[@bufbis2340]

VITE on veut revoir ALPINE sur nos routes.

[@chrisgac4989]

pour rouler à 80 ????? :p

[@bufbis2340]

Chris Gac Non mais pour passer de 0 à 80 km/h en 3 secondes !

[@CatchThePanda]

Now produce a road-going version of this car! that sounds the same! with proper manual gears! that would be just amazing!

[@Moution23]

For a sec I thought that audio equipment companies are making sport cars now...LOL

[@joako2706]

Cumbas you are so right.The problem is that children like TBS3169 (who doesn't have a S8 other than in Forza 4) are delighted by big chromy alloy wheels,silly power outputs and spine breaking suspension from ze Germans.On the other hand French cars are great handling,smart looking,advantgardiste cars for the non-possers. BTW the most powerful car in the world is French and the Citroen DS the most beatiful not for fans like me but for the media.Regards.

[@hdidane00]

Renault's F1 engines were so good they got banned from F1 racing cuz they were kicking everyone eles's butts and owning for a long time . it's about time they put that expertise in a road car.

[@aaronkok55]

Astonishing.

[@atomic.universe]

Someway, when I get a car, I'm going to make it sound like that!

[@bahamn15]

WOOOHOOOO ....LIFE-SIZE HOTWHEELS FTW!!!

[@clio2rsminicup]

Bugatti are 1 of the numerous old famous French & great brands but it was bought by the German VW 5 years ago :-( But no problem as I said in my last message & the part 11a-end) ^^ Now we are in the 21th century & as until the WW2 if the French builders decided to rebuild great & luxury cars no need for them to take again Bugatti, to became the best ! Look at the current hight level cars of Citroen or Renault for examples, the French are comeback also in the market of great luxury cars !! ;-)

[@mosaurio]

beautyful sound!!!!!

[@clio2rsminicup]

9a) 2) After the WW2 in 1945 in a France destroyed & impoverished by this WW, the priority was not any more to build cars of high status very luxurious & very sports, but to build little & few expensive cars for the biggest mass of the population. It's for it that the French builders decided not to build any more big & very luxurious cars after the WW2 to concentrate on the production of cheaps or few expensive cars for the low & middle Class

[@cornolio2002]

Was amazing

[@master13fox]

Only for track? Not road?

[@clio2rsminicup]

After to made a PERFECT FRENCH RULES on the most important World Championships (F1, WRC, Le Mans Series") the FRENCH POWER IS COMEBACK ON THE COMMERCIAL ROADS !! :-)

[@riztay8158]

À quand une version route? On sait faire les bugatti alors pourquoi pas cette Alpine?

[@pewpscoop]

sounds so cool @ 1:09

[@rucarnuts13]

This car is being made, confirmed for limited production in 2014-2015.

[@TAMBOREBRIO]

its just perfect

[@matthieuwarzecha821]

@1:09 love it!

[@ricardomiguel53]

OMG!!! AMANZING!!!!

[@samados969]

Are you trolling me ? French cars are now on the top with Germans cars and Japanese cars. French motor (Moteur PSA/BMW EP) are used in mini coopers. Citroën DS3, DS4, DS5 are better than or are at the same level of quality and reliability than Germans cars (BMW 1, 3, 5 and Audi A1, A3, A4, A5). One more thing, German reliability is a legend and now with all the electronic inside each cars, they all have problems like every brand on the market.

[@kharicky]

good car , editor please go slow on the camera cuts

[@aimanharith1998]

and if they put a damn high price,would u still buy it?

[@samados969]

Am I talking about few years ? No I'm talking about present. I know that in the 90's French cars were not that good. But now ! They have done a great leap forward. And yes, I Know that the old Laguna is a bit a failure If you are looking at Citroën's new DS range, you can see that it is almost covered everywhere by leather. For the plastic, it is some very qualitative plastic. Check Some websites about new Citroën DS range. One more thing I'm not talking about the top of the range of German cars

[@celsiusmillo7915]

superb

[@branot89]

When did that happen?

[@michaelwithaenotea]

The way this car looks kinda reminds me of the Mazda furai. The back mostly though.

[@milosbra047]

legend

[@MrStormrider27]

Beautiful sound, F1 style!!!Despite the fact I do not like French Cars, that's a great try!!!!Does anybody know the Cx of this car?(drag co-efficient).Looks like it is less than 0.26, although that has a ram air inlet over the cockpit....Cheers Renault!!!!!

[@Plaaditurg]

From distant it sounds like Audi Quattro S1 B-group ralley car. Other than that it looks awesome.

[@frederic128]

this car rocks

[@mrmycool99]

That orange stripe would look awesome if it was carbon fibre.

[@eagleeyes86]

Sounds like an old F1 car!!

[@Alantheleopard]

Probably BMW´s Mini is not fully original (just a copy of other cars as the boring Skoda Octavia in a way is too), but they call it "New Mini" for good reasons, and it is evident that it resembles the old Mini a great deal. But this thing... they called it "Alpine" as they could´ve called it any other way. It´s just one more super sports car with nothing special at all. It even seems to lack anything that may be considered a "boot".

[@breaktherule758]

Nice track

[@clio2rsminicup]

2a) - Who invented & created the 1st Automobile ? THE FRENCH in the middle of the 19th century (see LE FARDIER) ! - Who created the 1st Sport cars & the 1st & most famous races & Championships in the world ? THE FRENCH in the end of the 19th century & especially in the 1st middle of the 20th century !

[@samados969]

And there are Venturi cars and especially the Venturi Fétish.

[@ronnykurniawan6917]

beautiful......

[@clio2rsminicup]

OMG you read the 11 parts of my last message ??!!! Bravo !!! LOL ;-)

[@Platon1111]

I wanna see it on a hillclimb track !

[@Turgineer]

Renault making race cars!

[@BobDylanBanana]

How much is one of those, in US dollars?

[@japanman1994]

does anyone else think of a horse whip being cracked every time he rev matches or down shifts!?

[@hdidane00]

late 80's early 90's.

[@samados969]

Take a look at the Venturi Fétish ;)

[@StanislavMarchevsky]

Why it is not electric???

[@Dinosorable]

Sounds like a Supra and a Formula combined.
