The A110's future is electric, but its past looks more appealing than ever
The A110's future is electric, but its past looks more appealing than everAlpine is slowly re-establishing itself as Renault’s posh performance brand. Just recently it announced a modern incarnation of the Alpine Renault 5 Turbo with its new, and there’s an electric SUV in the works based on the underpinnings of the Megane E-Tech.
The championship-winning A110 featured a competition-grade 1.8-litre motor, though the faster of the road-going cars came with 1.6-litre four-bangers. Power outputs varied by the year, but the 1972 1600S you see here developed around 125hp and was paired with a four-speed manual gearbox, so expect it to feel suitably rapid with only 700kg to push along.
