Any Alpine A110 fans here

The original car, the A110 berlinette was essentially a french 911 that won a lot of rallyes and is a bit of a cult car in Europe. Always loved it, but took too long to pull the trigger and now it's too expensive for my tastes...

They are doing a rebirth of it, and I confess I love it. Mid-rear engine, it'll be light, 1100 Kg which is impressive. Sadly paddles only, but it sounds glorious !More or less in Cayman S territory in terms of performance. I was on holiday near Paris and stopped by the Studio alpine in Boulogne Billancourt to take a peek before my flight. Here are some pics of the car and the body in metal (aluminum). Great seats too ! Sadly from what I gathered it'll be Europe and Japan only for now, I begged for a US version even if they badge it Nissan (dental floss, badge replacement, done)...

Thought some of you may like the pics.
