Renault Alpine A110 Spa Francorchamps May 30 2015
Introduced in 1961, the Alpine A110 (also known as the 'Berlinette') was produced in various forms until 1977. The A110 evolved from the A108 which used components from the Dauphine featuring a steel backbone chassis with fibreglass body; the A110 was also different in that its supply of components came largely from the Renault 8. During its production run, the A110 was powered by various Renault engines from 1100cc - 1600cc derived from those found in the R8, R12, R16 and R17 in various states of tune. The car became successful as a rally car in the early 1970's and was considered one of the best of that period; notably taking the first three places at the 1971 Monte Carlo Rally with Ove Anderson coming first and Thérier and Andruet following respectively. In 1973, following their recently completed buyout of Alpine, Renault decided to compete in the world championship. The A110 works cars won most races wherever entered and the Alpine dominated the Monte Carlo Rally that year with five official cars finishing in the top six. A further six victories were achieved resulting in the first World Rally Championship title.
