Renault Alpine Celebration

The Renault Alpine Celebration is a concept sports car that was revealed in Circuit de La Sarthe just ahead of the Le Mans 24 Hour race in 2015. The production version of the car is the 2017 Alpine A110.
== Description ==
The Renault Alpine is set to become a sports car brand within the Renault brand and as a 60th celebration to Alpine it has released a sports car concept called the Celebration. The Celebration concept looks a lot more believable and possible than the A110-50 concept revealed back in 2012.
Renault has been threatening to debut the return of the Alpine for a few years now and maintains that it’s on track for 2016. This sports car concept forms the base of a two-seater coupe sports car with that harks back to the Alpine rally cars with its spotlights in the centre of the front bumper. Carbon detailing is used to highlight the high-tech features of the car’s body, from its spoiler to the side sills, diffuser, rear air intakes and mirrors.
The rear integrates air intakes built into the rear quarter panels to contribute to engine cooling. The engine cover – which can be spied through the louvered motifs of the rear window – reveals the mid-rear positioning of the power plant.
No details are available on the powerplant, but it is expected the Renault Alpine Celebration will dig into the Renault parts box for either the Clio 1.6 turbo or the Megane 2.0 turbo. With efficiency being so much of a factor these days it’s likely the Clio engine will be favoured. That’s not a bad thing though as the Alpine Celebration is said to weigh just over 1 000kg. Hopefully Alpine does away with the dual-clutch ‘box and goes for a straight six-speed manual which will keep the enthusiasts happy.
No release or debut date has been set but most pundits expected a real car to hit the show stands at Geneva Auto Show in 2016.
The actual production car was revealed in 2018 and has since went on to receive much fame and awards in its lightweight, simplistic concept of a sports car.

==== Summary ====
The Renault Alpine Celebration was added in the the Lunar New Year 2017 Update as a high-end Class C car.
The Alpine Celebration has a starting rank of 1238, a MAX rank of 1451, and a MAX+PRO rank of 1582. The Tuning Kit boost is +45.
==== Performance ====
The Alpine Celebration has performance based on the Lotus Exige S Coupe, an original Class C car.
The Alpine Celebration has a competitive nitro efficiency of 6/11/16 (11 being an improvement over 12 of the Exige), very fast acceleration, very high top speed (though not the highest), very good handling, and very good drifting (an improvement over the Exige).
==== Usage ====
The Alpine Celebration is one of the top four Class C cars for TLEs. It finishes most laps around 1 second slower than the Maserati Alfieri (the current king of Class C), but the Alpine Celebration can get a roughly equal or better time on Sector 8. One of the other top cars is the Honda Civic Type R which its main downside would be its low raw top speed (top speed without nitro) but otherwise is similar to the Alpine Celebration. The other top car is the Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG Racing Series, which is roughly equal to the Alpine Celebration, acting as a slightly slower version of the Sbarro Sparta. Compared to both the CLA 45 and the Sparta, the Alpine Celebration has better drifting, handling and acceleration (roughly equal acceleration, in the case of the Sparta), but it possesses a slightly lower top speed and a slightly worse nitro efficiency (compared to 5/10/15). Overall, the Alpine Celebration's only real advantage over the Sparta is that it isn't Elite, allowing it to be used infinite times without breaking down. The CLA 45, despite being inferior to the Sparta on all tracks and to the Alpine on Sector 8, is still the only high-end Class C car available for ; in contrast, the other three cars are only available for Blueprints. As of the Holiday Update, the Alpine's dominance over Sector 8 has ended due to the inception of the .
Though not the best car for Multiplayer, the Alpine Celebration performs somewhat similarly to cars like the ONUK Sazan LM, Rinspeed zaZen, and Mercedes-Benz Biome.
Here are some multiplayer tunes:
* 0500 1050 = 238.5 mph/384.0 km/h @ C1339
* 0502 5052 = 248.8 mph/400.6 km/h @ C1394
* 0503 5053 = 251.5 mph/404.9 km/h @ C1416
* 0504 5155 = 255.9 mph/412.1 km/h @ C1457
* 2515 5555 = 260.9 mph/420.1 km/h @ C1521 - This is the highest optimal tuning for the Alpine besides MAX+PRO, after which it loses its competitiveness.
With the revamped matchmaking system as of the Fifth Anniversary Update, the Alpine's fast acceleration and drifting allow the Alpine to defeat certain cars with similar speeds to it in technical tracks like Sector 8.
