It varies a bit from dealer to dealer as far as I can tell - but looks like about 6 months.
Thanks! I think that's pretty strong -- sure, fairly low volume production. But they've been making them a while now, and the Euro pricing for the regular models is pretty confident. Good (except for 2nd owners 
)!

They'll struggle to use the name GT4 if they intend to sell it as a road car.
Porsche own the trade mark for road cars at GT2/3/4.
Ridiculous. They're just numbers and letters, anyone can use them.. Porsche own the trade mark for road cars at GT2/3/4.
And it's why you don't have Westfield Sevens

Sheesh, can we have a thread on any decent enthusiast car here without a tonne of people saying "Waah I don't liiike it!"
So it has a paddle shift PDK auto. So it's sub 2.0 litres. It looks fantastic, handles like nothing else on earth, rides well, does 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. Surely it has to gain some credit for the effort?
For YEARS members of this forum were lamenting the death of the lightweight sports car. "GTR's are uninvolving and cost too much!", "I'm bored of MX5's!"
Then Toyota bring out the GT86.
"Waaah it doesn't have enough power!" "Weight is the enemy of the modern car!"
Then Alpine the A110.
"Waah it's not a Cayman and it doesn't have a stick shift!" (despite having a buttload more power than the GT86).
Frankly the naysaying is tiresome. So I'll probably never own one of these, but if I had the opportunity? You'd be damn sure I'd be thinking long and hard about one of these, even if I did end up buying an M2 or similar instead.
I totally agree with this. The GT86 and the new Alpine are both great cars that their repective manufacturers shouldn't have to offer if all they cared about was money (like BMW of recent).So it has a paddle shift PDK auto.

i hope Renault have success with Alpine and can release more great cars. A110 holds way more interest on real roads below 80mph than the cayster (though undoubtedly a great car too).

Presentation starts 18:30 today - that's official.
Merci pour le heads up . https://www.largus.fr/actualite-automobile/alpine-...
Look like they are doing things very subtly. 40 more horses, careful tweaks to suspension setup and tyre sizes, bit more 'serious' exterior, price not over the top (~ 66k €) but should give them some nice extra margin.
Dang, I need to work harder

I thought this was going to be the hot A110 but it looks like there is still room for an RdotSdot model.. https://www.largus.fr/actualite-automobile/alpine-...
