The Alpine A110 was a small coupé that was built from 1963 until 1977, it was the second successor to Alpine’s first A106. In the 70s, the A110 became famous and glorious in rally world due to its light weight and powerful engine. When revealing the A110, Alpine had been building cars for almost a decade. It all started with Jean Rédélé, a French Renault dealer that built a car for Renault car parts, he named it the A106, Alpine was born.
The A110 was introduced at the 1962 Paris Motor Show as the successor to the A108. It quickly became clear that it was more of a racing car than a passenger car, so private sales progressed just slowly. However, the A110 began to have notable success in rally racing. Alpine noticed this and decided to get focused on rallying, which proved to be the right decision. In the 70s, the A110 became a rally legend. In 1971, an A110 even won the Rallye Monte Carlo, besides numerous other races
Over the years, Alpine continued to experiment with the mechanical capabilities and possibilities of the A110. Therefore, the car was equipped with a range of different engines, which were produced in various locations, including Mexico, Bulgaria, Spain, and of course in Alpine’s birthplace of Dieppe, France.
Production stopped in 1977, around 7500 models had been produced. Since 2017, Alpine has been selling an eponymous - though also very similar - car as a tribute.
