RE: Renault Reveals Alpine A110-50 concept car

[gaz9185]

Lets get real....what the average person probably needs is a car in the spirit of the original A110 but at affordable price, even if this means using many standard parts. These (obviously) expensive concept vehicles are all very well for the well heeled few with oodles of excess cash, but I guess the average PistonHead will feel a dhead if he thinks he can ever afford one. Make a nice sports car in the style of the old A110 - but not at Lotus prices either - and I'd wager it would be a huge success......after all, with all restrictions nowadays not many people require another track day car.

Once again you have shown some perfect pictures and written a few hundred words to go with the pictures, but told us nothing

I hate concept cars, they tease you with a supermodel but then take it away and leave you with a big fat ugly, front wheel drive, bh.

Yeah, just like the Dodge Viper and Ford GT. They ruined the concepts by making the production versions FWD diesels... oh, wait.

Looks like they only slightly revised the DeZir and called it a new concept. GM used to do that with their concepts. They recycled the Mako Shark II into the Manta Ray and called it a new concept.

At least this one has a lovely high-revving V6 soundtrack, instead of the electric whine of the DeZir.

That spastic video makes me want to kick a Frenchman, though.

Those are different though. Renault aren't going to put this into production and if they do it will be nothing like this concept.
