Racing is the best way to test production cars and victory is the best sales tool.” - Jean Rédélé, racing driver and founder of Alpine
The Alpine A110 has been recreated for the modern age, but its original story began six decades ago with Jean Rédélé and the first A110 - and, évidemment, a lot of racing in the Alps (hence the name Alpine) while eating baguettes au fromagge. Rédélé also knew that lighter cars are faster, for the A110 weighed about as much as a soufflé, despite sometimes being fitted with less powerful engines than its direct rivals. In its many incarnations throughout the '60s and '70s, it won almost every rally it entered, including the Monte Carlo Rally, and was crowned the first World Rally Champion in 1973. Combined with a win at Le Mans, it's easy to see why the A110 remains part of folklore in France. A glorious racing history stretching back over 60 years, it only culminated with the introduction of the revolutionary mid-engined Lancia Stratos.
