This is the absolutely gorgeous Renault Alpine A 110-50! The car has
been created to mark the Alpine Berlinette turning 50 this year. This
new concept features carbon fibre bodywork in a blue that is a
re-interpretation and refresh of the classic original ‘Alpine Blue’.
The engine is mid-rear; a 3.5 litre 24-valve V6 churns out around 400
horsepowers. The car uses the carbon air intake employed for Mégane
Trophy V6. Transmission is a semi-automatic six-speed sequential
gearbox, as well as a twin-plate clutch that can be controlled using
either the clutch pedal or a paddle on the steering wheel. Braking is
equally impressive. At the front, large 356mm-diameter steel discs are
slowed by six-piston calipers. At the rear, the discs are 330mm in
diameter, while the calipers are four-piston models.
Developed on the same technical platform as Mégane Trophy, the
Renault Alpine A 110-50 concept car also boasts the same chief technical
characteristics.
“For everybody on the team, it was a dream come true to work on
an Alpine concept car. We wanted to put this car firmly in the modern
day, while resonating with its heritage.” said Laurens van den Acker, Senior VP, Corporate Design.
This is probably one of my favourite car designs of recent memory.
It looks purposeful, futuristic and racy with elegant flowing lines.
The jewellery on the car sets it off beautifully and the fact that it
comes with the Alpine name makes it even more special. So it might show
the diamond badge of a Renault. I don’t care. Even if it is only half
as good as the figures suggest, I want one.
