It’s safe to say that the Alpine A110 doesn’t receive the recognition it deserves. This small sports car boasts a lightweight design and a powerful turbocharged engine. With its origins rooted in the expertise of Renault’s engineers, this vehicle offers a winning combination. In its most extreme version, the A110 competes favorably with the Porsche 718 Cayman. Still skeptical? Just take a look at the video above.

The footage showcases an Alpine A110 R during a high-speed test conducted on the Autobahn. This particular variant represents the most potent and upgraded version of the sports coupe, which debuted in October of last year. While power is undoubtedly important, there’s an even more impressive figure – the car weighs just 2,385 pounds (1,082 kilograms). Achieving this weight was made possible through a deliberate implementation of carbon fiber, thereby reducing the car’s overall weight by approximately 75 pounds (34 kilograms).
