2018 Alpine A110 finally reveals its retrolicious body

After a painstakingly long teaser campaign and a couple of concepts dubbed "Celebration" and "Vision," the much-awaited Alpine reboot is finally here in all of its production glory. Reviving the iconic “A110” moniker, the new sports car part of Renault’s recently established sub-brand will go after the likes of Porsche Cayman with a retro-flavored design inspired by the namesake model sold between 1961 and 1977.

The curvaceous body clearly shows its “Berlinette” roots, but everything else is modern. Riding on a newly developed aluminum-intensive platform, the resurrected A110 will boast a completely flat floor and a rear diffuser to enhance aero without having to feature a rear spoiler. In a bid to shave off fat, the rear-wheel-drive coupe will use bespoke lightweight seats each tipping the scales at only 13.1 kilograms (28.8 pounds) to help achieve a rumored curb weight of just over 1,000 kg (2,204 lbs).

Relative to the Juke? The headlights suggest a connection to me. The car gets a "Meh" from me on styling. Not hideous, but not close to pretty, either.

The rear view is interesting...for 20 years trunks have been pushed up to the sky and have gone too far with it. There's something good here to explore.

Pricing will be everything. If this has a "Porsche" price, it will be another sales turd like the Alfa Romeo 4C. If they can price it advantageously, this could be rather popular. I do think this could be great to bring to the USA.
