Reborn Renault Alpine leaks
New concept gets 395bhp V6 and could make production within 30 months if Renault can make a business case

Looks cool but just 395/310 from a v6...I don't know, it just seems like they could do better.

Meh. Less never-attainable-halo-car, more mid-engine-multi-foglights-rally-awesomeness please.

Revival of the Renault 5 Alpine Turbo maybe? There was a Renault Sport Clio V6 for a little while (mid-engined and RWD like the R5 Turbo) but it didn't last unfortunately .

You never heard about the Renault Clio RS Cup Phase III or the Renault Megane Coupe RS Trophy, do you?

The cool thing about the Renault 5 Turbo and the V6 Clio is that you could walk into a Renault dealership, buy one and legally drive it home. But, I agree with you, the RenaultSport Megane Coupe Trophy is probably as good as it gets. |

both are FWD, both are street legal, both are faster than the older ones.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, but none of it sounds like this:

Love the A310 which was never a powerhouse. Maybe a return of that?

I'm well aware of the Megane RS 250 and Megane RS 265 but as you said they are front-engined and FWD. They are not Alpine material. |

The old Alpines were moderately affordable this will not be at all. I dont get it. Why build a car that nobody can drive? Build like a rear engine V6 porsche fighter like your old car.

I mean, just look at that blue car and that yellow car. I would take the A110 a thousand times over, even with its 125 HP 1.6 liter aluminum engine and moderate performance I would take it over that yellow thing. The cool factor is off the charts with the A110

What came out to roughly $19k after VAT and such on that A310 was a bargain for someone.

I am still blown away at French engineering.
3 lugs? a two barrel and a single barrel each feeding different cylinders! What the hell. A 1450 Holley is a fine carb, and has been put on just about anything with an engine in it. But I still think that there must be a better way to do it. But what a cool looking car. |

If they had made a car that was affordable and fun and recalled more of the original A110, I would have been a lot more interested. |
