After more than 20 years of ownership and many upgrades from supercharger to turbo and back to N..A I was wondering what I would buy as a new sports car today?
Apart from a Porsche GT4 RS that carries a 60K$ pollution tax here in France, the only option appears to be the Alpine A 110 S.
With a weight of only 1100 kg the 300 hp engine coupled to a 7 speed dual clutch gearbox does magics on and off the track.
A proof of the intrinsic value of the car was given by scoring the 3rd place at the Pikes Peak race.
I've raced a couple A 110's on track and it took my turbo setup to follow them...
There are many videos at the Nurburgring and at Pikes Peak to illustrate the performance of the car.
