Renault Alpine A110: The Lightweight Sports Car Revival
The Alpine A110 is a modern lightweight sports car that revives a legendary rally name with a focus on agility and balance.
Launched in 2017, the modern Alpine A110 revived the storied Alpine name and the original 1960s A110 rally legend. Built by Renault's Alpine performance brand, it is a mid-engine, two-seat sports car that prioritizes light weight and handling balance over outright power.
Its turbocharged four-cylinder and remarkably low weight give it agile, engaging dynamics that critics have praised as a refreshing alternative to heavier, more powerful rivals like the Porsche Cayman. Its retro-inspired styling honors the original.
The A110 has been widely acclaimed as one of the most enjoyable modern sports cars, proving that lightness and balance can trump brute force.
