New Alpine cheaper than expected.

[Too Drunk to Funk]

Starting around £50k. Still a chunk of change but ten grand less than I had heard. Quicker to sixty than the Cayman S.

Can't post a link but all on Auto express.

I could be wrong. Thought Harris said they started at 60K when they had one on TG.

Spoke to the guys on the Renault Alpine owners club at the classic show. The new one was supposed to be there but Renault pulled it at the last minute. Apparently they won't be getting any to journalists until next year, what's in the magazine? Not expecting RHD models until may/June next year.

They did put the original A110 on the stand that Renault bought and restored for the inevitable twin tests that will be done. It was perfection.

UK deliveries early next year supposedly.

Retro meets modern and the date does not go too well. Looks like an old 70s bathroom fitted in a modern house.

If anything I'd say the A110 hasn't aged well and the new one looks way better. Certainly nice to see something different.

Yes, at least it isn't based on a VW Golf. Or made from plastic.

Overpriced, not that light, not that Fast, a badge 99% of people have never heard of, and looks like a £20k kit car. Ahm oot.

Shame none of this is actually true.

4.5s to Sixty not that fast. Name a car that's quicker for less money.

Elise Sport 220.

Perhaps not directly comparable cars, though. The Alpine is a lot heavier and presumably more usable.

Fair enough. More of a track car than the Alpine I guess. There can't be many others.
