Alpine A110

Electric? No. Self-driving? Certainly not. But it is blue, and French, and it is an iconic brand reborn… with Renault doing the delivering, which is entirely proper and correct for an Alpine. Now it just needs to go like a rally-winning A110 from the ’70s – and all the bits are in place: mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive, with an all-aluminium chassis that will give it a better power-to-weight ratio than a Porsche Cayman come 2018.
