S Miller True, today's car manufacturing industry is mostly a nightmare. The only thing the A110S is lacking IMHO is a mechanical slip diff.

I agree as well .I'm planning to switch my BMW Z3 M roadster for this one .I thought they would make a cabrio which I should prefer the most .

Haha, me too! I love Porsche but also 😍 this Alpine!

That was the idea of Catherham's CEO in a first place. Then Caterham left the project and Alpine continued alone.

@@lensoprezole5322 sounds like Eurofighter and Rafale :))

Didier Lemoine and just like the rafale is one of the best fighter jets in the world, the alpine one of the best cars in the world (in its class of course)

Alpine A110 alrerady existed in 1961-1977. What's Catherham's CEO got to do with that?

@@saratov99 exactly catheram were just the first partners to be chosen and they failed , Renault continued on its own with the help of Bertrandt a German engineering company ;) I worked for the French branch of the company and we were all very proud of it .

A modified car beat other cars in a drag race? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Sounds legit to me.

@@skylerssupercarlife348 You're a Loser hahaha !!! 🤣

@@skylerssupercarlife348 The modified car is almost the same than A110S, around 300 hp.

@@Thunderworks imagine if lichfield tuned this one!

This not a hot hatch.. and this is already a légende

You never knows, maybe in a near futur ? I hope Alpine do this before they are forced to move to electric engines

This box its at the limit of what can take torque wise. If they do an A110R it WILL be manual.

@@EduSanjuan777 you're totally wrong, alpine said it's impossible to fit a manual in this chassis and they haven't the money to develop one that will fit in the engine bay.

@@TheSkyline35 you're totally wrong, alpine said it's impossible to fit a manual in this chassis and they haven't the money to develop one that will fit in the engine bay.

@@lensoprezole5322 Hey do you know that if you have enough budget, idk by already have sold 9000 sport cars, and having Renault pushing behind you, you can modify the chassis to fit a gearbox ? What I'm saying is that it's NOT IMPOSSIBLE, in the futur !

have you driven the new one?

@@BlackHoon I haven't, would be very interesting to try it though

So you reviewed a car.. It's much different living with one permanently.. I think I'd rather have the faster better handling one.

@@MagicAyrtonforever well, the standard A110 would certainly be easier to live with due to the extra ride comfort. And what makes it great is the way it flows down the road, how playful it is and how you can use all of the performance more of the time. The A110S seems to have lost something in all these respects.

So you'd rather take a car you've driven over a car you haven't? Got it.

Since Alpine is owned Renault and Renault has an alliance with Nissan, it can still be imported to the US but it would be called the ‘Nissan something’, just for marketing and sales.

@@unknownunknowns yeah. If it ever happens, I wonder what they'll call it..

America is too fat & obsessed with trucks & gas guzzling V8 cars to get light European vehicles & all the cool little 3 door versions of cars & hatchbacks, you don't get in the US either.

Agree 100%

May I ask why ?

Adam Andersson okay that makes far more sense, I was wondering why reworked suspension and a remap came at a £9,000 premium.

If you do the sums you will find that a Pure with (as close as possible) all the options the A110S has is about £3500 cheaper (speccing both with Fuchs wheels). So that's how much the power, wider tyres and different suspension cost you.

@@ShogunsDojo orange stitching

@@johnclucas1523 Bargain and you get a warranty unlike the Litchfield?

@@MagicAyrtonforever To be fair the Litchfield DOES offer a 12 month engine and transmission warranty. Personally I still would not be happy pushing 400nm through the box which is only specified to take 320nm - but Litchfield does offer a lot more bangs per buck than the S

I read it was too large to fit with the midengine.

Seconded.

It’s plenty sad

I'm surprised at what you guys don't get - even the new a45 isn't coming, and the Focus ST. Bizarre for such a huge market.

@@pastorofmuppets8834 It's a combination of the numpties over here favoring lifted boxes on wheels and the automakers being pretty bad at recognizing that they need to offer more value for the cars if they want those to sell against the lifted boxes. Instead of offering more value, they'd rather just not sell it in the hope that people just buy the lifted box.

That’s why Nissan should pick it up and it doesn’t have to be called the ‘Alpine’, just the ‘Nissan (blank)’.

In a word NO. You can't really consider an Exige as a daily. Great weekend hoon car/trackday warrier but too impractical and too noisy to be a daily (at least a sensible one). There is a big gap in price too. Sure the headline figure for the 350 is similar to the 110S but add in aircon, soundproofing, trim etc and it's going to cost a lot more - and a 380 really is in a different price bracket. An Evora is, from a practicality point of view, a realistic alternative - but not from a price point of view.

Well, before that happened gtrs are coming. So at the very least you can get one before a110 arrives

You are mediocre. he says nothing exceptional. In my country we have professional racing drivers in FIA GT3 that also works for cars youtube channels and they are very technical when explining pros and cons of a new sports car. Those guys are great. Your english reviewers are very poor knowledge wise, even if you think the opposite.

@@lensoprezole5322 I am truly humbled that someone with your knowledge of motoring would respond to my post. I stand corrected and withdraw my comments.

I got enough luggage in for 3 weeks in Europe with space to spare. Sure the boots are not the most convenient size or shape, but you can get a lot in. If you or your other half are shortish then there is a lot of space behind the seats. More than twice as much as an Elise, 50% more than an MX5 even ignoring the space behind the seats.

aLERNO, only low intelligence people do not evolve. Alpine didn't have the money to develop two gearboxes they said. And a manual would have been slightly heavier.

@@lensoprezole5322 why resort to ad hominem attacks? I want a manual gearbox, too, even though I`m not low intelligence either.

no exhaust on speakers on Alpine

really, even through Nissan ?

If u can pay this car, you can pay the 1000 or 2000E of the import by boat...

You'll find the same one in the new Jimny 😄

Retractable for me.

Jimmy jeanpaul man it would’ve been just right my friend.

DevilGames I don’t disagree sir

@Jimmy jeanpaul Lower it 96mm, it looks like a real Alpine...

And a roof scoop. Love a roof scoop.

@@markd8799 Telling the computer when to shift for you.

Mexico ?

Nissan ?

robtt it’s stiffer compared to the standard car, but still softer than probably most hot hatches that people daily drive.

that`s 39 hp more than the standard model, for a grand total of 288 hp.

Michael Chai Having trouble understanding English?

@@guillaumeromain6694 lol chill out frog. Read my reply before you start another riot.

@@michaelyhchai ain't too impressed...try harder.

not intended for the same use at all !!! GT4 is a track tool with very long gear ratios ! A110S is a road car that can go on the race track.

They surely won't put front splitters and rear wing on this one, cause this would ruin the aesthetics. And this car is all about the aesthetics of the original model.

That's true . But only between 15 and 20 % off all new Caymans sold, are manuals !

In europe the C8 corvette will cost at least 95 000 euros. In France that's the base price for a brand new 'vette at the official dealership. That's very far from the 59,900 claimed by chevrolet in the USA. The only competitor to the A110 is the Cayman and it weighs 300 Kilos more !

@@lensoprezole5322 in America and outside of Europe, European cars cost more, if they're sold at all. So what?

@@lapamful But the A110 isn't sold in USA, and it's where the C8 is cheap. Honestly for the same amout of money, I would go for a C8, especially if a Manual gearbox exist. But the reality is that the C8 cost close to twice as much to buy here in France, the maintenance will be a loooot higher, and the car receive a nice 12.000€ tax for being heavy on C02. Not easy to be a car enthusiast sadly.

​@@TheSkyline35 I hear ya. Totally agree, yes the C8 makes more sense if you live in the US. But although they won't get the A110 in America, they do have other cars like muscle cars. But unless you've seen and driven the roads we have in Britain, France etc. I don't think you'd understand a car like the A110. American roads are big, wide and very straight. The only place I know that comes close to European roads in America is Mullholland Drive, near where Matt Farah did all his One Take reviews. But as for the Co2 tax in France, take a look at my playlist on my chanel called Exposing the Climate Alarmists, as a car enthusiast I think you'll find it interesting. As a voter, we all need to share this information and show everyone what a scam the global warming lie is. Merci!

@@lapamful Well, the A110 is made for nice twisty European road, especially...the Alps, as the name of the brand suggest. A C8 and a A110 can't really be compared, truly different philosophies. But the Alpine is selling extremely well in Europe for a sport car, better than a Cayman, nice to see such a car being appreciated. For the C02 and all of that, I saw your videos, but I do think we have to change the way our society works, relying fully on a limited resource like Petrol is a bad idea, and even if you don't trust the climate change, we can't deny that car emissions are bad for human health, especially in crowed cities.

A110

@@devilgames2217 reason? got experience from both? can't help but notice the weight difference, plus manual and roof off for the lotus, there is something with the A110 which is massively appealing though and I still can't pin point..

@@fiestaria Nope, I'm just saying I would pick the Alpine over the lotus. Sweet cars but they are dated and don't seem so easy to live with.... They are like a second or third car tbh.

@@devilgames2217 Very different animals. An A110 is easy to live with as a daily (perhaps the S a bit less so), quiet (when you want it to be), comfortable easy to get in and out and practical enough. I really like the Elise - but it's a weekend toy by comparison.

@@johnclucas1523 Yup, that's what I said 😁

I think you don't understand, or maybe value, the cost of lightness.

what about people who never go on a race track ? I live in a place where roads have over 1000 bends, I don't need to go to the race track.

do you think it's cheap to produce an all aluminium sports car ??? The chassis of the A110 is a work of art. Double wishbone all around and 1100 Kilos !

@@lensoprezole5322 I know but they are Renault so I'm pretty sure they can sunk the costs somewhere. Price it better and you will sell tons more.

@@fastdays_1 Yes but Renault Formula1 and it changes the all of it :))

About 8000 in total - it's ccomfortably outselling the Cayman in Europe, so the buying public can't think it is expensive.
