"The icon of Alpine, the pinnacle of the ultra-lightweight, rear-engined sports car."
The Alpine A110 is a sports car that marked an epoch with its ultra-lightweight body and a rear-engine, rear-wheel drive layout that gave the car incredible traction. The A110 that appeared in 1963 with only a 1.1 L engine received increases to its engine displacement over the years, but the pinnacle of the series was the 1600S that debuted in 1968.
The 1600S was initially powered by a 1,565 cc engine from the Renault 16, but in 1973 it was replaced with a 1,605 cc engine from the Renault 17. At the same time the rear suspension was changed to a double wishbone layout and the tyre diameter was reduced, providing a drive experience that totally set it apart from its previous models.
In its day, Alpine won international rally races one after another, but in order to circumvent modification restrictions due to displacement, they intentionally selected a displacement that only slightly went beyond 1,600 cc, at 1,605 cc. This allowed the car to undergo major tuning modifications at the cost of going against bigger displacement rivals. The A110 succeeded in performing extremely well against these rivals.
There are many variations to the 1600S but there are three leading models: the 1600SC, a French domestic model with twin Weber 45DCOE carburettors and an export version 1600SI with fuel injection. These two cars had a power output of 138 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and combined with a 5-speed manual transmission, its top speed was 210 km/h. This is an unbelievable figure for a 1,600 cc car, but the ultra-light body in the 700 kg range greatly contributed to this performance.
The remaining third model is the 1600SX sold from 1976. The 1600SX had a detuned engine that produced 93.6 BHP @ 6,000 rpm, and its top speed was also reduced to 190 km/h, but it in turn was easier to drive, and was welcomed by users with no ties to motorsports.
The A110 remained popular even after its successor, the A310, debuted in 1971. A model-combined total of 7,160 cars were produced until the end of its production in 1977.

Are you familiar with the WRC? It stands for 'World Rally Championship', and features rally races which take place on public roads. It was formed in 1973, when rally championships held in various countries were unified together. This was the beginning of the WRC that's still going to this day. This car is an Alpine A110—the winner of the very first WRC. It's got a compact body, and its rear-mounted engine ensures that the rear wheels produce plenty of traction. It won the very first race of the 1973 season, in Monte Carlo. In fact, Alpine A110s took all three podium places, defeating Porsches and Lancias along the way! It set the A110 on its way to winning the inaugural WRC season, making a huge splash in the process!

Look at the tight cabin and the position of the rear engine. It's truly stunning. This is especially true when it is viewed head-on. Indeed, there is something stylish about the ridge that runs down the hood. I find it to be very 'French'. But then it also has large fog lamps for rallying... And impeccably placed air scoops at the rear. These competition-vehicle aesthetics really give it an exquisite character. Design-wise, some parts appear to be unbalanced, but aren't so bad once you get up close. In fact, they even give the car a visual impact. Indeed, there is something about it that isn't seen in many cars today. It is a true masterpiece, and one that I would love to add to my collection.
