The Alpine A110, an exceptional model
The Alpine A110 was born in 1961 from the imagination of Jean Rédélé, founder of Alpine. The 1977 1600SX version represents the culmination of this lineage, equipped with the Renault 16 TS engine developing 138 horsepower. This power, combined with a featherweight of only 900 kg, gave the A110 remarkable performance for the time.
The A110's design, designed by Giovanni Michelotti, is distinguished by its fluid, aerodynamic lines . Its polyester body, mounted on a tubular chassis, offered exceptional rigidity while maintaining optimal lightness. This innovative architecture made the Alpine a true technological laboratory.
The commercial success of the A110 extends far beyond France. With more than 7,500 units produced, it quickly becomes a benchmark in European motorsport , both on the road and on the circuit.
Alpine, the French art of motorsport
In 1977, Alpine entered a pivotal period in its history. Acquired by Renault in 1973, the brand benefited from the diamond's industrial support while retaining its authentic sporting DNA . This strategic alliance allowed Alpine to develop its models with the resources of a major manufacturer.
Founded in 1955 by Jean Rédélé in Dieppe, Alpine quickly established itself as the French specialist in sports cars . The brand's philosophy is based on a simple principle: to create lightweight, agile, and high-performance vehicles capable of competing with the most prestigious European sports cars. This artisanal approach, combined with Renault's technical expertise, has forged Alpine's reputation for excellence.
The Alpine A110, queen of rallies
The history of the Alpine A110 is inseparable from its racing exploits. In 1973, the A110 won the first World Rally Championship for manufacturers, beating formidable rivals such as Porsche and Lancia. This historic victory propelled Alpine to the ranks of world rally legends .
Perhaps the most memorable anecdote is Alpine's domination of the Monte Carlo Rally . Between 1968 and 1973, the A110 won five times on the Principality's winding roads, establishing undisputed supremacy. Jean-Claude Andruet, Ove Andersson and Bernard Darniche became the heroes of this Alpine epic, etching their names into motorsport legend.
Beyond its sporting performance, the A110 embodies the French spirit of the 1970s automobile. At a time when manufacturers favored raw power, Alpine focused on technical intelligence and balance. This philosophy appealed to a clientele of insiders, making the A110 a symbol of automotive sophistication .
The green color of this model car is not insignificant: it evokes the metallic shades particularly popular on road Alpines of this period, offering a striking contrast with the competition versions often dressed in blue.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
