One of the best handling cars ever made, and the fact its got a relatively quiet cabin, cruise control and a decent Focal speaker system makes these cars (in my opinion) underrated. I understand people who dont like the engine and the artificial pops and bangs but none of that is the point of the car, its all about the chassi and lightness. I have a regular A110 and im thrilled every time i get in it. And another bonus is that 80% of poeple look at it when you drive around since they are so rare in Sweden.
@@Shmee150 I generally don’t love french cars, but for a weekend warrior weapon, you could certainly do a lot worse than this. A used Porsche Cayman or Lotus would be worthy competitors, but I’d really like your informed opinion on the refreshed MX-5.
A Cayman or a Lotus would in my opinion be a much better choice. You will hear car dealers cursing French cars as things break on them like they were made to be broken! As a car lover I would go for a Porsche Cayman GTS
you mention the Gendarmerie A110, which is quite cool because recently i had managed to spot the UK Merseyside Police A110 in Liverpool this week! they look fantastic!
I am currently searching for the right lightly used A110 for me. Test drove the GT and absolutely adored it to bits. I mean, it was the comfortable version and totally chill to live with in city traffic and yet it turns into an absolute hooligan the moment you press that red button on the steering wheel. Perfect everyday sportscar in my opinion.
It is a brilliant sports car so fun to drive, glad you reviewed. Most people say the a110 ‘pure’ model is the one to get and differently cheaper. I brought one and can’t complain. It is so rare people stop you and ask what it is, it also so small and isn’t recognised as a sport car until it effortlessly zips past other fast cars. It makes it easier to drive in public because it under stating its sport car credentials. I plan to hold onto mine for a very long time.
It makes me so sad that Alpine doesn't sell their cars in North America, means we won't see them here in Canada for many years to come. Still, at least we get to see them and experience them to a degree through videos like this one! Awesome stuff.
Blimey, you sit very close to the steering wheel. I love the look of the Alpine though haven't driven one . But I did race one on some local b roads in my somewhat modified MX5. I drew away on the corners but it quickly caught up on the straights. Was a fun race and when we stopped at some roadworks congratulated each other on our respective driving. Great way to spend time on the road lol...
As an American, but also a car nerd. I knew, by the lights in the front, that it was an Alpine A110. But, not that it was an A110R! One more cool car that we don’t get over here 😢
Shmee! Hope all is well sir! I know I’m a bit late but as for the video with the R34 GTT(R) replica, have you gotten to experience the FL5 Civic Type R? I’d say it’s arguably one of the best future classics as far as JDM cars go! Semi-compact, reasonable power, and the best performance out of a FWD car to date! Definitely will need an exhaust but would make a great shmeemobile imo!
I am curious about the speed of the 110 r compared to a 992 Carrera gts on track. They have a pretty similar power to weight ratio, so it should be pretty interesting.
So glad you have finally gone 4k....👍 You can't half tell the one camera that was no in 4k though... LoL. Driving videos are so much better in 4k. The Green Hell videos are gong to be so much better.
Love the new Toy Tim but it’s not you . I bet you’ll end up taking it back at some point in the near future . Love your content . Every time I watch your show my son starts laughing when you greet us . Hi I’m shmee 😊he puts a big smile on my face. Love it
A friend of mine bought this car a couple of years ago and this is MAD FUN and he owns a Mazda MX-5 and a Lamborghini Huracan! This car is SO light and SO easy to drive you won't believe it ! Super underrated fun track car !
Surprised you didn’t mention the very harsh suspension ? No compromise ! The A110S or even GT are so much more suited for the type of drive you had ! Also those burbles are so annoying, as you said they are absolutely the same every single time you lift off !
Idk how I feel about it, I’ll take my 2,969 lb Volvo C30, I absolutely loved that thing, so sad I moved to Montana and sold it before then :( wanting to find another one sooon though so badly
Decent little car, but those pops would have to go. I'd be driving straight to a tuner to remove them. And Tim......it might be time to junk one of your cameras, the forward-facing cam in this video is trash, so blurry. maybe from the vibrations, but the other cams were fine.
I love the Alpine and I would have a lot of fun driving one, but It looks just way too small, would get me claustrophobic, not even sure I can fit in it. How does it compare to a Toyota Celica? That’d help to understand the scale.
I don't really like the looks of the normal A110 but the R looks really good and seems to drive sweet down country lanes which is what I like. The price though! wtf!
I want to drive one I got one on Gran Turismo 7 and I got it modified to the gills and I think it's just so 100% perfect I love that car so much and I remember I sold it a bunch of times because I didn't want it then I drove it and I'm like no this is not getting sold it's too good That's in the game I can only imagine how it is in person actually driving it and that's not the r version
I think the "regular" one with carbon wheels would be a better buy. I meant 34 KG ant that much. Removing weight where it matters the most would be cool though
ALPINE A110! Knew right away with the front bumper light humps
stpd fck don't spoil it
Same
It’s ev right no gas?
@Bigmute501 not an ev, have an in-line 4 engine
@Bigmute501 EV?!?!?!
Never! Gas power rules!
I just had to say it, but it is gas powered by a 1.8L Turbo 4 Cylinder engine…
Was in France in 1973 and saw my first Renault Alpine A110 and fell in love.of course it was also done in Alpines blue.
Thanks for the rare memory.

The swirls and scratches in that carbon hood made me cry.
If U see what U see, U really have some good eye site.loll, which car company U work for 😅😅😅
@@millerboymiller4316Maybe the camera guy from this video 😂
@@millerboymiller4316 Eye site? 🙄
I'm 20/40 and I could see that shit. 😂
If you don't see the swirls please don't drive a car on the road... @@millerboymiller4316
Dang, that looks really good and I'm sure it's fun to drive. I'd love to have one .
Me too
Forgive me for being an ignorant American, but I’ve never heard of Alpine. This thing looks rather nimble. Nice design. I like it 👍🏼😈
Surprisingly, they don't actually get sold across that side of the pond at all, which is quite odd to be honest!
Alpine is making a big comeback with great cars and they are even in F1.
It's a French marque, owned by another French automobile company, Renault, neither of which have been sold in the United States for a very long time.

Shmee150 Awesome Video I think it's awesome that Alpine sent you that Pretty cool A110R and I think it's pretty decently priced for what it is
Fun to see the Alpine, especially with the spec and lots of carbon. I don't see them in the US, but we might have them. Thanks Tim.
Was thinking you'd bought it for a second. A lovely car for sure

from the back I thought you bought a lancia delta, it was epic, but from the front I realized instantly that it was an Alpine
Love the looks of these I wish my pockets where deep enough
Really enjoy the content on the channel well done everyone 👌👌👌
this is incredible! love all the carbon fiber it has! also here's a fun fact, as far as I know there are no Alpines in Kuwait, not even a dealer
Do you also have carbon fibre in Kuwait?
@@ianholdsworth920did you even see the amazing collection that Shmee filmed in Kuwait?
Show me your carbon fiber then.
Hello, Tim! Great video as always! Cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
This comment is too generic to be from a human
What a unique car looks perfect among the collection!
Just love the 110 R!!! Well done 👏🏻, great little car 🚗 👍🏻 Adam aka Azzy n Bow 🐕 👊🏻
*Totally guessed what it was the minute I saw the front* 😉
It makes me so sad that Alpine doesn't sell their cars in North America, means we won't see them here in Canada for many years to come. Still, at least we get to see them and experience them to a degree through videos like this one! Awesome stuff.
It was the exact car I expected. Great car. Would definitely get.

Are you looking to get the Alpine A110 Final Edition when it comes out, which would compete with the GT4RS?
Beautiful wheels, that car is such a fun toy!!
Great video , Top Gear should really make you a host at their show 👏
As an American, but also a car nerd. I knew, by the lights in the front, that it was an Alpine A110. But, not that it was an A110R! One more cool car that we don’t get over here 😢
Finally an Alpine at the Shmeeuseum! 😍🇨🇵👍🏿
Love your channel Tim. Question, how do the bollards work at your garage entrance?
Shmee! Hope all is well sir! I know I’m a bit late but as for the video with the R34 GTT(R) replica, have you gotten to experience the FL5 Civic Type R?

This thing of which I’m a proud owner is everything about lightweight and sensational handling feeling
I’m 8 seconds in and already know it’s the Alpine! That soft cover can’t hide those headlights 😉
Wow i love that car, lets see what you do to it. Probably not but I hope you keep it permanent
So glad you have finally gone 4k....👍
You can't half tell the one camera that was no in 4k though... LoL.
Driving videos are so much better in 4k. The Green Hell videos are gong to be so much better.
Sure you’ve found Life110 by now, but if you haven’t, go and find them for Geo set up and some extra trick parts for Alpines.
Love the new Toy Tim but it’s not you . I bet you’ll end up taking it back at some point in the near future . Love your content . Every time I watch your show my son starts laughing when you greet us . Hi I’m shmee 😊he puts a big smile on my face. Love it
Please lend this to JayEmm, would love to see his view
It’s a good looking car, I really dig it
Wow this car is very cool this is very interesting
That would make a great addition, and you could come state side and take it on The Tail Of The Dragon
Is carbon fibre lighter than the lightweight plexiglass that these specials normally have?
Alpine a110r, saw Brad driving it on Wednesday
Yemann she’s unreal kidd 🔥💯💪🏻
Stunning car, please take to topaz to get the swirls removed from the fibre glass.
Shmee rocking the matching Omega on the wrist
I knew exactly what this was going by the fig lights! Alpine! Too bad we dont have these in the USA
Bravo🎉!! I love it🥰🥰🥰
I wish Alpine could catch on here in the states. They’re good cars. 😎
This is a VERY nice car indeed...! Add it to the fleet...!!! This thing is something REALLY special.
Wow... that is light... very light.
Is there an option to have all four rims the same?
wow it looks beautiful
Such a fun looking car
A friend of mine bought this car a couple of years ago and this is MAD FUN and he owns a Mazda MX-5 and a Lamborghini Huracan!
This car is SO light and SO easy to drive you won't believe it !
Super underrated fun track car !
The normal alpine is a great car to me just sad they don't have these available to us in the USA
But you have cool cars in the USA we don't have here in Europe like the new Nissan Z for example.
Surprised you didn’t mention the very harsh suspension ? No compromise ! The A110S or even GT are so much more suited for the type of drive you had ! Also those burbles are so annoying, as you said they are absolutely the same every single time you lift off !
Im at 17 seconds and I see its an Alpine a110 i think
Oh its an a110r? So cool shmee!!!
In my opinion that car is pretty badass if I had 100k laying around I would buy one 🔥👍
Idk how I feel about it, I’ll take my 2,969 lb Volvo C30, I absolutely loved that thing, so sad I moved to Montana and sold it before then :( wanting to find another one sooon though so badly
Very nice🤩

You could tell from the front lamps under the tarp. Alpine!

How fast do you have to go for any of that downforce to actually work
Great little car👍considering Jeremy Clarkson is an f1 Alpine fan. Like to see his perspective on this...
I really like the look of that Alpine, and the interior is beautiful. The price on the other hand, is a bit high
I don't really like the looks of the normal A110 but the R looks really good and seems to drive sweet down country lanes which is what I like. The price though! wtf!
Wish they sold these here in AZ would be amazing on our windy canyon roads.
Good video
Lovely car 😊
Finally a proper toy!
I really love them. I think it will be a lovely project nurburgring car
looks damn good
Not seen Ben here for a long time..
Trust me when I say track mode is absolutely the right mode for those roads.... It makes a huge difference
Great Small compact sport car. Greatings from Ukraine!
Awesome 😎👍👍
Excellent review. Some like the pops, but wouldn't it be great if there was a software upgrade so that you can run the sport mode without the pops?!
There is a tuner called Life110 which offers maps that delete the pops, along with different suspension tunes etc.
@TheRealFLX81 Thanks for letting me know. If you install such a third-party map, should this be declared as a modification for insurance purposes?
Look at the swirls on the carbon rear window replacement
Hi I love the driving screen
Gorgeous little car....that could really use some paint correction.
I want to drive one I got one on Gran Turismo 7 and I got it modified to the gills and I think it's just so 100% perfect I love that car so much and I remember I sold it a bunch of times because I didn't want it then I drove it and I'm like no this is not getting sold it's too good That's in the game I can only imagine how it is in person actually driving it and that's not the r version
I lust love alpines , a110 ,a310 , a220 😍 . But a110 is my dream car
I wish they sold them in the US. such an interesting car
New coolest car in the collection
It look very fast😮
Good review. The carbon rear engine cover is a step too far for me, aesthetically. I'd prefer a clear plexi window like the R26R / F40.
awesome car, really like it....but 100 rocks???
I think the "regular" one with carbon wheels would be a better buy. I meant 34 KG ant that much. Removing weight where it matters the most would be cool though
I mean if the video came out before brad had posted it to his insta i wouldnt have known what it was..
YESS AN APLINE !
Edit : Please tell me that`s a future Shmeemobile
Love the a110
