The Alpine A110, birth of a sports icon
Launched in 1961 by Jean Rédélé, the Alpine A110 was born from the desire to create a French sports car capable of competing with the best European productions. This revolutionary berlinetta, developed in Dieppe, adopted an innovative architecture with its rear-mounted Renault engine and its particularly lightweight fiberglass body.
The 1971 model represents the pinnacle of the A110's evolution, benefiting from the latest technical and aesthetic improvements. With its 1.6-liter Renault 16 TS engine developing approximately 125 horsepower, this version offered remarkable performance for the time, capable of reaching 210 km/h despite weighing only 700 kilos.
Its commercial success was immediate, attracting both professional drivers and sports driving enthusiasts. The A110 quickly established itself as the French benchmark in motorsport , paving the way for a dynasty of legendary models.
Renault Alpine, French excellence in motorsport
In the early 1970s, Alpine experienced its golden age under the leadership of Jean Rédélé and with the technical support of Renault. The Dieppe-based brand had forged a worldwide reputation thanks to its competitive successes, particularly in rallying, where the A110 racked up prestigious victories.
This period marked the peak of the collaboration between Alpine and Renault, giving rise to exceptional models that proudly carried the colors of French motorsport. The company, still independent but already closely linked to the diamond manufacturer, developed a unique expertise in the design of lightweight, high-performance sports cars . This philosophy, inherited from Alpine's beginnings in the 1950s, found its most accomplished expression with the 1971 A110, a model that perfectly synthesized the French art of sports cars.
The queen of rallies and her legendary exploits
The 1971 Alpine A110 is inseparable from the epic World Rally Championship, created that same year. From its first official season, the French berlinetta established itself as the car to beat, winning the first ever manufacturers' title in the WRC in 1973. This world consecration crowned years of domination on the winding roads of Europe.
The most memorable anecdote remains that of the 1971 Monte Carlo Rally , where the Andruet-Biche crew achieved the feat of beating the formidable Porsche 911s on their home turf. This victory in the Monegasque snow demonstrates the exceptional versatility of the A110, capable of adapting to all terrains thanks to its ideal weight distribution and its proverbial lightness.
More than just a racing car, the Alpine A110 became a symbol of French ingenuity in the face of German and Italian giants. Jean-Pierre Nicolas, Ove Andersson, Jean-Claude Andruet: all these legendary drivers wrote the most beautiful pages of Alpine history at the wheel of this yellow and blue berlinetta that made the lap times tremble.
This orange-yellow color, so characteristic of production models, immediately evokes the demonstration models that Jean Rédélé used to attract his customers. A shade that perfectly symbolizes the optimism and joie de vivre of the 1970s, a blessed period when French automobiles shone on every continent.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
