Its Renault, Alpine is just the name/brand

Agreed. I'm still going Cayman every time (and I've hated the 4c since day one), but the competition and cars in this segment are outstanding. I love that there's something resembling an A110, and they're calling it an A110.

The 718 is both heavier, slower and more expensive than the Alpine. What's the point of buying it?

I enjoy the fact that the new A110 LOOKS like the original as well, UNLIKE the NSX which has no connection to the original at all.

more enjoyable on the open roads than the big 700 HP exotics. Why ? Because you can't use more than 20% of the potential of the chassis and engine of a 700HP car on the open roads! But with a 250 HP and lightweight sports car like the alpine is, you can use a lot of the potential of the car, so you enjoy more. period. people that disagree are simply novices driving crap car and don't know what they are talking about.

Bong Lim Poor Alpine.

kraenk12 It will b e an interesting matchup considering A110 's weight is only 2,431 lbs, 630 lbs lighter than PDK equiped 718 CAyman

:)

Which is something Renault was unable to do for decade. Eeeeeveryone in MIII RS is installing shortshfiters as the "standard" gearbox is bad (if i stay diplomatic....). I think that is the reason for dct, shame tho.

ha ha ha hah aha

south france, nearby marseille, north of aix en provence

george balan oh. my. goodness! 😱 I need that!

Limited differential is not always mandatory. It's depend how the car is designed

wirKO enough pressure and heat from a hard enough impact would be enough...

That's not how gasoline works dude. Look up mythbusters.

In the previous Honda Civic, the driver was sitting right on top of the fuel tank. And in almost every other car, your children are. The Cayman has it's fuel tank in exactly the same place btw.

Not to mention that sexy 4C body!

yeah but I think people wont cross between a Porsche and Renault this car is for a niche market, There is a reason Porsche sells million and these cars struggle to sell a hand full,look at lotus and alfa both great cars.On the road u can choose to be just another guy in a Porsche or.....or that purist in a blue alpine A110( this car looks good but you must look at it in real life cause videos don't do it justice park it next to a Porsche and it will blur it out ) and your Cayman cant even walk away from it

I agree part of your reply but disagree other parts. I am in Australia, there are some Renault fans but most people love Ford and GM (Holden) here, German cars are also popular, French cars have very little presence here. So yes, to people who loyal to Renault, camparing the two are ignoring the sentimental part. I had bad experience with Lotus and dealer is very far away from my house, so I don't have much good to say about Lotus. That's why, around similar price in Australia, a mid engine small sports car, you can pretty much list out 2 big competitors in the price range: Audi TT RS (probably need second hand one or wait for price drop) Cayman (S or GTS depending on new or old, 718 or 981) Compare to these cars, A110 is slower, harder to find service centre (Frech cars have much less presence in Australia than German cars, here people love Ford and GM) and potentially long waiting car. With all of the luxury car tax and local dealer mark up. A110 money you can get a decent sencond hand GTR, it's more expensive M4, a really quick Lotus if you want to buy those, a V6 newer or a older V8 version or even a latest 4 cylinder Jaguar F-type. I am comparing all these because I just got apprved my second loan, after an investrment property, I am using the left over to buy my last fun car ( cause now i have a 1 year old, and I have to sell my old fun car) I have been spending last 7 months looking for something that is not Porsche, that surprise me. This A110 was one i was hoping that can draw me away from Porsche. I didnt get to drive A110 in the track, but i think it's not enough for me. I will grow past that car after trash it on track for 1 or at most 2 years. I am daily drive a SRT with 6.4L and I put a whipple supercharger on it, on dyno it's 700HP. I want something small, light and different but I have a relatively high standard on power, A110 is good like MX-5, but when Cayman 981 GTS is even felt too soft for me, i want something have at least some basic power and I can add power later on, but still retain that small car accuracy, good feed back that talks to me on wheel. So all these 7 months of test driving, I am going to take a Cayman GT4 with clubsports options. Will need to change the gear ratio a bit otherwise daily drive i will only shift gear once or twice. And I probably going to kill myself if 8 months later Porsche released 718 Cayman GT4 RS with 4.0 flat 6 and PDK. But hey, it's better looking than a110, it's more expensive yes, but i think it could be more fun, and it's faster.

:) consider us too

storck08 no one cares

Clous von I care 😘

Clous von ppl who like driving care

I care.

Clous von I support u, if you are not buying it then you dont care...

livc444111 Porsche and BMW offer manuals in most of their performance models. That's a fail.

Eatinbritches BMW have recently commented on the fact that they see no-added value to having a manual gearbox on a performance car hence they are considering ditching them all together

manual is best

Renault sport !
