French companies are well known for making light, very responsive cars that are at their best on twisty roads. Check Renault and Peugeot history... In terms of driving experience and satisfaction, they are among the best

So glad they relaunches the Alpine name. They've made it a real driver's car too. I am sure they will bring out a faster model if this one is successful. Nice review Sam.

It's amazing because on each video test of the Alpine A110 drivers are smiling big time !!

Next video:Changing to Alpine A110

Sorry Sam, you bought the wrong car! The Alpine is so much more special! Would like to see more video’s about the Alpine in the future.

Probably your best ever video Sam. I really do get why you bought the Cayman.....but this car is just more ‘you’. It’s more niche and looks just fantastic!

That looks incredible. The interior looks more premium then the 718 in my opinion, and it has retained some very concept car-like elements!

Great review!! This is a long awaited revival of the Alpine brand, and I guess Renault have done it perfectly this time. Alpine has never been about pure power but rather lightweight and pleasure of driving. I have owned a Boxster previously and I think it is the most fun car to drive and enjoy on a daily basis, but I would definitely buy the Alpine rather than anything else in its class. Hopefully a future S version!

This is one of your best videos to date. You're really stepping up the filming and editing game, congrats!

Car of the moment.

Such a shame that this car doesn't have a manual option. A lightweight mid-engined car that meant to be hooned down mountain roads, it practically begging for it.

Sam, seriously, the quality of your videos is excellent! Those shots in combination with your music choice, are gold. Also, you're a very nice, enthusiastic guy

I love love love your drone work in this video. There's a visible improvement from literally just the last video. I love the tracking shots while the car is out on track. Great work!!!

I actually recommended this car on one of your video's when you were hunting for a daily, you should have waited!!! Such a special car, but it would have even better if it had a manual gearbox!!

Hey, Sam! Original A110 owner here (specifically a 1969 A110 1300S). I just wanted to thank you for the great review! Sadly, the new A110 won't be coming to my country, but I wish you well on a very difficult decision. I think a lot of people in the comments misunderstand the point of the new Alpine. It's an experience machine, not a numbers machine. Sure, it performs very respectably for the price, but it's much more about the sound, the agility, and the sense of occasion. Additionally, I love the fact that they drew so heavily from the design of the original. Originally (on the first A110), that odd, four-headlight design was done in order to maximize night-time visibility (when rallying) without having to increase the coefficient of drag. Personally, i love the homologation look, but I know that it's not for everyone. In many ways, since this new one isn't a rally car, I wish they'd copied the A108 more than the A110, but, to each his or her own.

100% trade the Porsche for this!!!

unique and cool looking car, looking forward to seeing these around

Sam, this video was incredible. Top job :-)

Another great video Sam, well done. You always bring a lovely warm vibe to your vids, wonderful music. I just love the lazy piano and trumpet jazzy type music. Love this car too. Keep it up Big Boy you is doing good...

I prefer this over the Porsche! Both cool cars though :)

Even as a Porsche enthusiast, I must confess: The French engineers have done well! A car to fall in love with. The weight reduction and the reduction of the operating elements are pointing the way: Other manufacturers must and will follow!

the class of your videos are head and shoulders above anything else, the background music and photography is just on another huge level

Love watching your videos man! Keep it up!

Car of the century !

Sam. You made me fall in love. I'm just sad that i cannot afford this car in Denmark. Damn, that looks to me like the perfect sports car.

Well done Sam, another cracking video - keep them coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stellar Production and a great review Sam. 👌

Excellent video Sam. You're getting better and better at this KZfaq game 👌

Sam I always catch myself off guard bobbing my head to your videos. Along with the great content and editing you always smash it with your sound tracks. What an awesome car this is. I'd actually love to see a slightly lifted rally spec one.

sam nailed it with the music, you have made my day

Certainly looks better than the cayman

Very nice review! You can feel the joy of driving such a piece of jewelry!

Great video, very nice car! Oh and wow, the weather there is still pure epicness.

I definitely like it much more than Cayman

GREAT Video on this car! I cant seem to find enough on this car! Love it! Thanks for sharing your experience you lucky dog you!

Well done. At the top of your game on sharing the experience

thanks for sharing your experience in this amazing french car!!! love that color!!!

Sam, so glad you are invited to press launches for these new vehicles. Would much rather hear your point of view than some 'journalist' complaining about cup holders! Beautiful videography as always! Keep up the good work :-)

Good quality review and video. You deserve more sub

Really good track commentary Sam. Not easy to talk and concentrate when on track.

Great video mate

The music on your videos is always tops!

it's just awesome!!!! the sound is just top level

Sorry Sam, but i’d rather have one of these than a cayman😬 Great video anyway👍

Liked before watching... obviously!

Love the new intro👍🏾

Nice car and colour! 😀👍 Great music intro...catchy tune! 🎵🎶🎹

Thanks for this great review and it makes me wish I can start my company to evebtually own one of these. I have been into Alpines before and the automobile engineering professor at the Engineering School in Montreal used to race in an Alpine A110 from the 60s.

Definitely one of the best automotive KZfaqrs out here!

Envious of you Sam. We don’t get Alpine over here on the other side of the pond. Beautiful car. Great Porsche alternative. Always love your camera angles. You and MrJWW are spot on with camera work.

Stunning looking!

Great review. Following :)

should have bought the alpine

Nice driving Sam!

14:55 agree, best car you can buy at this price range. I like the Cayman but it's way too expensive after a few options. Great review Sam

Great review Sam,your green porker is a fantastic car,but the Alpine has captured your heart. Sometimes you just got to go with your feelings. That's why we love our cars.

Take notes ///M and /////AMG LIGHTWEIGHTS NOT MORE POWER

look wise, I'm loving that Alpine so far. What a gorgeous car.

What a great car and what a great video!

Dear Sam, what is the watch you're wearing? thanks

Really dig the classic lines on this car! This car will age well, for sure

Il parle trop vite pour moi 😂mais il a l'air content ...il est très enthousiaste cela fait plaisir ....moi j'attends la mienne avant l'été ...YYEEESSSS 😄🇫🇷

She is beautiful ! Im glad off reborn brand alpine ! France rules

Hey Sam, great video. If you travel alone, how do you get those drone shots???

Definitely a future classic!!

My new favorite car!

Balanced, sharp and elegant car I like it a lotttt 🇫🇷❤️

Awesome to see an Alpine re-launch! the car looks amazing both inside and out and I am quite frankly impressed with the build quality. That being said the reason why they compare the a110 mk2 to your Cayman S is the price range. Roughly 52k british pounds vs 64k $ Cayman S. The performance figures at low speed are also roughly the same. On the track I'd put my money on the Cayman S but I think the alpines have near unmatchable driving dynamics.

Thank you for your feedback.

I saw nearly every of your movies and I must admit, you are lucky man :)

Does anyone know what or where the track is?

Why no walk around of interior and exterior?

Sam, how the car managed that bumpy road you mentioned?

The Alpine is bloody fantastic. More than a Cayman I am afraid so. The prize is perfect, coule be my next daily😍.

Does it come with an Alpine Stereo?

I think people are mixing up lightweight and quality. They did everything to make the car lighter so some things are going to feel thin and light not heavy and dense like in a Mercedes

STG, they have plans for an A110 Sport. Will have somewhere around 300 horsepower

What a cracking little sports car!

Sam telling Seb to shut up LOL!!! Great vid. Would like to be invited to do something like that hahaha.

Once I saw the new Renault Alpine, I love it, defiantly up there with my favorites: the Audi R8, TTRS, BMW M2 and Subaru BRZ

When these have an official release in the states, I'm gonna have to see if I can get a stripped model that I can actually afford. Every time I look at one, I fall deeper in love. I need one

Yess! Please more lightweight sportscars to the people!

Nice review Sam, getting better and better. I don' t think we will see the Alpine here in the states.

Hi don’t suppose the track was folembray in France?

Cinematography is better than ever!

Looks like it has the drivetrain of the Alfa 4c and maybe the platform. Does anyone know?

Focal speaker system? Is it good?

These sort of reviews really are your thing. Not many manage to make this vlog style review thing interesting start to finish. Car is pretty fucking cool as well, those leds make it look like some sort of venomous spider that snatches versace lizards from a cozy little hole in the ground. Honestly think it's a great sports car to drive on European roads.

Wish we had these in the states. I've always loved these things.

How much do they cost? Also, how could I get one into America?

they are releasing a 300hp version later on. sharing the same engine as the Megane RS Throphy. Great video as usal sam, and what a lovely car!

Great video as always! And what about with an Alfa 4C? What's the differences?

Any idea what the name of the track is?

Great video as usual! What's the name of the track?

What is the name of the bossa nova song? Please I need it

i LOVE this big time, but they so so so so missed a trick not offering the manual Gearbox, i have to say, your content is really getting top now days.... impressive! Im going to go all out and say i think this is going to steak ALOT of sales from porsche !! Bare in mind this is a first attempt , it can only get better!

This seems like a close rival to the 4c in ways. How would you compare?

The Alpine looks fantastic if you ask me and I'd love to have the opportunity to drive one, far more desirable than a Cayman if you ask me, although you won't like me for saying that Sam. I do have one very picky complaint with the car though - just how thick is the bezel on the touchscreen?! Yes, I know that is such a silly thing to pick out, but it just seemed to really stand out to me. On another note, I agree with that others said, and that it should be available with the option of a manual gearbox. As always Sam, top notch video!

I'd never swap the Cayman over this, but it is up to you!!!

This beauty only needs a bit more power.
