Would You Buy The New Alpine A110?

- I was once very close to buying an original Alpine A110 as my first classic car so when the new Alpine A110 was announced I was very interested to see if the original light weight ethos had transferred to the modern day car...

Wow! This guy lives and breathes his job, so much enthusiasm. Top man. And James, top video.
I've been to their showroom in Paris. A very passionate company. All great guys too.
Thats a MRJWW vid ! No one else does an interview / conversation as good as this, that guy was so relaxed with you.
Oh, so you didn't watch Shmee interviewing Christian Von Koenigsegg for a Factory tour..? I don't want to start beef but saying "No one" is.. maybe extreme ;)
I'm sorry but Schmee is far too wooden and rehearsed. His passion is having a car collection of specials to show off, not to drive and enjoy as that will cause depreciation.
He let the guy do his thing and talk about the car without making the video about himself, like a lot of the other youtubers would have done.
So happy you made a video about a car so litlle priced for you. You could just have talk about Ferrari and Porsche but you took the time to make a full video about a little sport car. That's how you recognize true petrolhead! I love this channel.
IZzelYy well honestly I think he would love to do an interview with ferraris and porsches guys but they wouldn't let him, and it seems that Renault invite him to the drive press of this car so it makes sense, very good video tho
This was the car I was most excited about for this years motor show ! looks amazing, im sure will drive amazing and some real competition for the Porsche Cayman 718
Ben Rochford remember this is the renaultsport product,that means amazing drive,chassis and handling.
But maybe bad transmission as well, unfortunately, based on the Clio RS one.
GIVE US THE THIRD PEDAL ALPINE FFS, they know how to do a great manual, their DCT is bad, yet they still choose the DCT.
Not sure if the Alpine will have the 6 or 7 speed but Renault has improved the DCT alot. The 7 speed in Megane GT is great but the problem with all DCTs is that they are controlled by software so when you do weird unpredicted stuff the gearbox will often do that aswell.

By the way, best french salesman ever, ever interview he does, is brilliant
He’s Irish.
From Cork.
As a French, I am really happy to see a french car on your channel, and damn, It pleases me to see a french man speaking English that well !
Except he’s Irish. From Cork.
What a nice man
What a genuine guy. James is top of the game with content at the moment. Him and Sam are superb.
The car of the show for me.
You get a like and a sub from me, more content like this please, good camera work, great sound, brilliant interview with a guy who actually has a clue, very interesting car for people who are more interested in driving than a dick contest.
You're doing it right man, it's a pleasure to watch.
Which other car channels do you enjoy?
I like Petrolicious the most, the cars they showcase and how they do it, I watch Salamondrin sometimes (rarely) for fun, B is for Build I think I'm subscribed as well, and my favorite used to be Chris Harris on cars but sadly he's not active on that channel anymore. The rest are news channels, Disney stuff for the kids.
pignonMZ6 I am unfamiliar with those.
Thanks!
//edit Very nice video. Relaxed, most important things mentioned, reasonable lenght.
Just discovered petrolicious recently, its a bit different to others but i absolutely love it (and i really hessitate to say this about content). Its like a "romantic" channel but for men :)
Motor trend is good, Evo, Drivetribe, there are quite a lot of channels worth looking for. I am getting super sick of Vlogers lately, but that does not only applies to car vloggers but basically any. Cant really tell the reason but i feel i am a getting old.
Try Savagegeese on YT. I think you will like it.
Still stunning 4 years on!!!!! Well done Alpine.Sad to be losing it in Australia. :(
great to see Alpine back in the game, can't wait to find out how it drives.
Also, great video as always, thanks for the work and effort you put in your content james :)
greets from stuttgart
The car is in Full HD (wet weight 1080)
Fendi!
Kind of disappointing is the fact that this car is 300 Kg lighter than the Cayman and yet the power to weight ratio of the Alpine is less than that of the Cayman, the only thing that the A110 needs at the moment is more power. I'd suggest more displacement, bigger and twin-turbos. Should output at least 350 PS, will be great then.
4.5 sec to 100 is enough, you can chip this thing to 350 fairly easily i would say. what worries me the most is the slightly exaggerated price tag...60k euros for such a car is too much even if its fully aluminium.
i mean you can get a faster ttrs for almost the same price
full options with the premiere version :))
This is my favorite car of Geneva. Thank you for showing us your conversation with this passionte man you can really see how happy he is to talk about it. Greetings from Austria!
that man loves his car, good for him. Have to say as well, James brings a level of conversation and insight way beyond most channels. In fact, he is better at this interview stuff than most of the traditional media journalists.
For someone who started this channel as a fun ad-on to his car interests, its incredible how far James has progressed. Chris Harris made that transition, I feel James is certainly as talented as a presenter.
The Alpine guy is so proud, that smile is so genuine when James praises the car
that is a sharp little car ! really enjoyed the conversation with the chief engineer and he gave a great reason for the lack of a manual gearbox .
now I undestand that you are a True petrolhead because you not Just searching for speed and logo you look for the héritage and that awsome I wish the best for alpine and when you test it if it's good go for one it's miles better than the boring cayman cheers ^^
I think its going to be better than the Porsche Cayman. It has passion behind it and it looks the business.
The A110 is a wonderful car with a great legacy - I'm a A310 owner myself!
Gosh, I'm not sure who was more passionate, lol. Love your enthusiasm James, it's one of the major reasons
your videos and channel are so popular.
Great video.
cheers
I think you should've bought that classic Alpine. Would've been a cool thing to contrast your other cars.
I love it how it has nailed keeping the design of original Alpine A110 while modernizing it. This car has a very special soul, vibe or a feeling, call it whatever you want, that no else car on the market has. I absolutely love it!
Much more interesting content than the run of the mill top dollar boys grazie James ciao
I love it! Not a fan of the placement of the two round lights but other than that.... awesome car. And I'm sure we won't get it here in the US! Shame!
Honestly, I don't like the car but that man seems so nice and passionate
ultimate and we'll deserved compliment paid to James a 4:21
4:22 what an honor and what a cool answer: aha
and what a passion the guy have about the car
Thank you Mr JWW - really enjoyed this interview, hope the drive is soon (and also hope you can film it!)
Great , original, presentation. I love this car in black. Wow! Very interesting design- low weight, sophisticated suspension. I can't wait to read the driving impressions.
Much preferred the prototype with the GTR engine. Should have had a larger engine really like the 80's models.
So regret selling my A610 :-(
I already own two classic Alpines..... Yes, they have their issues, but thats what owning a classic car is about. You don't just drive an Alpine, you live with it.
I have let a few of my friends, who have other "common super cars," drive my Alpines, and everyone has fallen in love with them. They all comment upon the ride and handling, Just wait until you hear the reviews of the new one once they start driving it. I know it will amaze.
"Passion and Alpine...". Two words that go hand in hand.
...i think a very small "niche" vintage rally car enthusiast segment will be attracted to it ... though clearly the new Alpine is a lot more "premium" than the original ... i also feel it will be as hard to sell as any Lotus is these days .... but yes James an absolutely BRILLIANT little sports car !!!! a car that may have NEVER existed.....
Same problem as the Alfa 4C, market is too small for such a car, and now that market will be further saturated.
Saw your RS6 in Newcastle Under-Lyne a few weeks back! Love your videos man, such a refreshing approach to CZcams.
Car is awesome, such a laid back great interview too. This car with a gated manual transmission would be such a godmachine.
I prefer coverage on the smaller manufacturers, they're always very interesting
The renault group is one of the biggest manufacters in the world though , but i see what you mean.
#01DF01Seba Abdur-Rehmaan Yeah I love hearing about the Renault-Nissan group, that small independent business based in a shed just outside Lille
Christopher O'Grady Indeed, I believe that thier whole net worth is only a couple of cents gbp.
Best preview of the car i've seen so far and I've been watching them all afternoon. Exciting car. Can't wait to see more.
Thanks for the video, it's well edited as usual and I finally got the explanation about the 23kg more! Alpine is such a fantastic brand!
I like that guy. He's no sales guy, he's an engineer through and through. And a petrol head
You are always so grateful. That's wonderful. Keep going buddy.
seriously in love with this car. shame about the manual but honestly the rest of the package is so perfect for my ideals I think I can over look it.... one day 😍. Great video again, thanks
Excellent vid and look forward to you reviewing this car James. I've wanted one since I first saw concept..... still looks absolutely fantastic!!
I cannot wait for this to be released. I think it will be the best sports car you can buy when it arrives
Top interview (which was more like an interesting conversation) with good questions.. Your content is really enjoyable, keep up the good work...
Oh my gosh I absolutely love the new Renault. The looks are so nice and it also resembles the original car as well
And available in 1080p already. You legend.
I've just ordered one in Blue Abysse, arrives in July. Can't wait...
Loving the daily content James :) serves as a great treat for waking up early to work lol
Now, Just for a second, imagine the enthusiasm this guy has for the A110 but directed at Mitsubishi with a new Evo XI.
With the tie up between Nissan/ Renault & Mitsubishi this could be a real possibility.
The A110 is very intriguing. 1080 kg wet is a great achievement. Which they would make a version with manual transmission though.
In blue with black or white accents, it looks so good. I don't mind them going to automatic, as long as it is super fast, smooth and I have big pedals on the steering wheel. Just ask expensive as a GT86/BRZ? In France the Première Edition is going to cost € 58.500.
I swear I've seen this car before, wasn't it at FOS 2016?
This a real content video. As it was said here... its good to see something different from mainline flagships brands.... Btw the car looks interesting and i assume i don't know why that this is a fun car to drive.... Anyway thanks James for sharing this.
Would love to get one of these. Really admire the low weight to power ratio.
I used to drive the A310 in France, it was lots of fun. I wish i could find the A110 in the USA.
'Very Experienced motoring journalist' is he talking about you? :D on a serious note, i love the way this looks, cant wait to see more vids and some around.
amazing vid as always james. this year is gunna be great
It's so great to have Alpine name back! Although I still prefer 4C...
Great video and interview. Really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Love the car styling, c'est superb 🤖👌
As ever great video.... As James proves Geneva isn't just about McLaren, Ferrari, Porsche or Lamborghini.... A car guy for car guy's. 👍🏼
Aaaand we in America don't get this French Gem, we're stuck with Overpowered Hellcats and Z06s
Axl 991 it's a shame!
robert335ijb4 sucks to be us if you like Cool Fast Little European Cars 😂
It depends on how well the car will sell in Europe and Asia now. Maybe they will make it available in the US.
We in America still have too many Boxsters to choose from and the Alfa 4C. We even got the Miata. All good substitutes for this car. But no, you think American cars only matter.
at least they got the same taillights
while others are busy showing all the flagship cars you james have some unique content...cheers!!
Camera work was spot on.
Of course I would buy one. I'm just waiting for the more standard version: don't need nav or leather seats. AC ok and leather trim on steering wheel. That's it. And a good sound system. And then: drive, drive, drive. A black one will do. Or a green one.
Very passionate and friendly Alpine dude...lovely car also!
Well Done Mr JWW, thats was a great video. 1) You manages to find out more info in 7 min about the A110 than the other reviews did, even with their 'exclusive reviews'. 2) The passion for the A110 came through from both of you... its not just hyper cars that can do that
Well done Renault, for bringing this exquisite car into production. It took a little while, but you eventually got there. It's a pity though you have not released a manual model. It is that 5% - the purists and diehards - who might otherwise be your biggest fans.
It sold out in 2 days so they did what they had to do lol :)
Great job. Pleasure to watch your vlogs!!
Love this car. Sadly they aren't sold in Canada. Awesome vid as usual.
Great talk. Sounds good. Looks nice inside.
But you didn't really cover much of the (side profile/rear) exterior of the car...
... and that's where I think the car loses its attraction for me personally.
I'm just not falling in love with those lines and shapes.
The car looks amazing and with a very interesting shape. If it has an option of a glass roof it will be perfect.
Small question James, what was your videography background before you started doing CZcams? Your stuff is so much better than most.
so so cool thanks for this video Mr. JWW. I had the chance to see it
I gotta say (obviously would have to drive), but atm I would take this over any of it's competitors. I looks like an amazing package to me.
Can't wait to see this thing in action.
I totally agree w you James that the classic is a great car. But this is very impressive!
Yes I would. been waiting for something like this.
My first love is Lotus but this makes an Elise look a bit dated now. I'd prefer a manual but truth is day to day that DCT is more useful. The real deal breaker for me would be the desire for a convertible. I wonder if they'll go that way? And he should be properly proud of the weight - a fantastic achievement for the price.
Small word of advice if I may - try and let them finish the sentence - you potentially miss out if you interject your thoughts over theirs, it also may give the impression that your more interested in your opinion than theirs...
Keep up the good work though - you're now "an experienced motoring journalist!" kudos
Great vid as usual Mr JWW, very comfortable and enlightening conversation. This is wishful thinking, as there are no Renault dealers in the US, but I wonder if they might bring this to the States, or would it have to be a personal import type deal? Keep up the great content!
I guess the navigation, premium carpets and these things will be optional extras on the regular models.
James... beside all these amazing videos of the new cars that are coming, when are you planning doing another video of the GT3 RS ?! i think it deserves another proper video !
Owhhh the Alpine,finally this great french little car is back !
I really like the idea and i like the style too... but i would not buy one... interior is not thaaaaat nice in my opinion and i would choose an 4C over it... but i'm happy they build these things... pretty cool car ;)
Why am I picking up a hint of Jamaican in the guy's voice? Great video, James.
Who says "chuffed to bits"? Brilliant!! So much better review than the sad Evo "This fantastic badge.... tell me about this fantastic badge" Doh!
You make some really nice content sir, keep going!
i had no idea Shia LaBeouf was doing car reviews, what a car btw!
Awesome looking machine Mr JWW you rock!!!
truly beautiful car. I imagine it would be priced to compete with the porsche 718
great guy! really enjoyed the tech details
You should have bought the classic A110 when you had the pportunity because it's such an incredible car to drive ! But now it'll be harder to choose with the new one :p
Great video James! You should buy one
love the look wish all car makers cared as much about the weight of there cars
I guess its going to compete with the 4c and maybe the Porsche spyder so its also hard competition. Interior looks great, to me its a sin though not to include a Manuel gear, this is a drivers car to me not a transportation, there are plenty of other vehicles better suited for that. Well if I had the luxury of 2 cars one which will probably cost around 150K€ in the DK I might want to give it a try but again it has to be tested against the competitors to really show if it delivers. Im not totally convinced of the exterior design I think Id rather go for the 4C. But generally looks great and good to have Renault back in the sports segment.
Really looking forward to this.
few première Edition orders are still available in RHD ... James, you should apply ;-) !
what a really good interview.
+Matthew's Motors Thanks buddy!
Personally no I would not buy the Alpine110 just could not justify the price for what is a Renault. Also just want to say excellent vlog and great informative editorial style.
It is a Renault in the same way as the A310 was. Lightweight body on a warm engine, but with great dynamics and character. Enthusiasts will love it, put up with it’s quirks and call it an Alpine rather than a Renault.
I loooooove the new Alpine A110. And you don't need 300+ hp to have fun behind the wheel.
the car king of you tube love it
Great interview and car.
