2012 Renault Alpine A110 50
Plans to revive the Alpine name have gone back and forth like a tennis match for years, but Renault may finally be giving the project a green light, for a concept version at least. A few days ago, we reported that the first concept version for the Alpine line would be unveiled at the 2012 Monaco Grand Prix, and now the Renault Alpine A110-50 Concept has made its official debut.
The Renault Alpine A110-50 Concept was named as such because it pays tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Alpine A110. Its exterior design was inspired by the Renault DeZir concept unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show and its technical side was borrowed from the Renault Megane Trophy, meaning we will see a V6 engine with an impressive output of 400 HP and 315 lb-ft. of torque.
The original Alpine A110 debuted in 1961 and lasted through the 1977 model year. It had a rather Porsche-like design and had a number of engines ranging from a 66-horsepower 1,108 cc engine to an impressive 140-horsepower 1,605 cc engine.
When Jean Rédélé unveiled the A110 Berlinette at the 1962 Paris Motor Show, it marked the start of an Alpine adventure for the engine from the Renault 8. The car had been developed from the Alpine A108, but was more stylish and more dynamic, with an even lower engine cover, a larger glazed area and the rear lights from the Renault 8. The new engine demanded changes to the air intakes: with the radiator mounted at the rear, cooling exits were opened in the resin bodywork behind the rear wheel arches, disguised with four chrome strips. The changes served only to heighten the elegance of the A110 Berlinette. The restrained, balanced silhouette maintained its extremely pure lines.
A car for the enthusiast
To drive a Berlinette is a life-changing experience. Above all, it was designed to win rallies, so its not surprising that it boasts a certain pedigree; not a tricky personality, but real character. You dont climb aboard an Alpine, you slide into it. But once youre behind the wheel, the connection is immediate. Agility and traction are particular strong points thanks to the mid-rear position engine, which tends to produce oversteer that is easy to control using the steering and throttle. Its sometimes a little trickier to keep going in a straight line, but lifes all about compromise... This isnt a car you simply take for a drive - it demands to be properly driven. Its weaknesses are also its strengths.

The sports car enthusiasts can therefore provide a basis for F Type V6 3 liter dual overhead cam head that uses a supercharger to develop a power of 340 hp at 6500 rpm and a torque of produce 332 lb-ft between 3500 and 5000 rpm. She could wrap the 0 to 100 km / h in 5.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 260 km / h.
They will also go a Type FS receives the same V6 but whose power reaches 380 hp and torque of 339 lb-ft, courtesy of an exhaust system more efficient and Launch Control System Jaguar E Type 2014. In his case, acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h would be in the vicinity of 4.8 seconds, and top speed peak at 275 km / h.
Regarding the FS Type V8 5-liter dual overhead cam head supercharger power to 495 horsepower, and torque, 460 pound-feet. 0 to 100 km / h in 4.2 seconds covering just. For what is the maximum speed it will reach 300 km / h. Given the power and torque of mechanical, but this time we seem a little conservative. It should be noted that in Jaguar E Type 2014, to reduce fuel consumption and the production of greenhouse gas emissions, all models receive the stop-start technology and automatic gearbox ZF 8-speed with paddle shifters driving.
More by upgrading, the brakes are more powerful. Regarding wheels, there will be 18, 19 or 20 inches, depending on the model.

The car was built for the driver, everything is oriented towards the driver. The Type F is truly a Jaguar. It features a rear spoiler that deploys when needed and door handles that retract at high speed to improve the aerodynamics of the car. Regarding the canvas roof, removed and replaced in the 12 seconds penalty.
As a first step, we propose a convertible, in a second time, it will be cut, in a third step, it is possible that the British manufacturer comes up with a hybrid gasoline-electric four-wheel drive its Type F . It will be marketed next summer. Hopefully the manufacturer will not yet fifty years before we propose another sport.
