Lightness above all. The Alpine A110 is based on a Renault platform, but everything else is radically different. Backbone chassis, polyester body, rear-mounted engine. It doesn't strive for raw power. It focuses on featherweight design and agility. On winding roads, it corners flat, pivots quickly, and demands precision and commitment. In rallying, it dominated in the early 1970s and secured the World Rally Championship title for Alpine in 1973. The A110 isn't a comfortable sports car. It's a special stage machine homologated for the road. A French car designed for attack.
