The Alpine A110 was a sports car built between 1961 and 1977; in 2012, Renault announced that it bring the car back to market under the Alpine brand. Fast forward to 2017 and the A110 became a reality as a two-door lithe sports car, powered by a 1,8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 252 PS. With a claimed weight of just over 1.100 kg, the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4,5 seconds.
Pictured here is the lightweight chassis of the A110, showing how the manufacturer reduced weight to maximize the available performance.
