Emmanuel “Manu” Guigou and his copilot Alexandre Coria, on his A110 R-GT, finished third on the “Mont-Blanc Morzine” rallye that count for the national asphalt championship which is exceptional for a 2WD and the 7 other A110s were also well placed (and there was no withdrawal).

The brand new 208 Rally4 and Clio Rally5 also did very well for their first event of the championship.

The results.

And there has been chatter that Renault Sport (the whole division, not just the F1 team) might become Alpine (in a sort of a Cupra move).

I know it’s not as fast or as fancy as a supercar, but I still think the current A110 is one of the best ‘sports cars’ out there right now....if I had the money to buy a fancy new 2-seater, and it was available here, the Alpine would be my first choice, personally...

Not going to argue... especially if I had Porsche money.

Gordon Murray benchmarked the A110 for the T.50 so I'm inclined to agree. Maybe in 25 years I'll be able to import one ...

I’ll likely never have the money to, but I would if I could! I’ll just have to stick to a FIAT 126p and a Piaggio Ape TM...

I like Porsche, but I still think I’d take the Alpine!
