Summary

In 1971, Automobil Revue tested the Berlinette, an Alpine A110 1600 S. The smell of rallying and Le Mans racing also delighted the AR testers, who clearly felt at home in the flounder. Clearly aimed at professionals and racing fans, the A110 impressed with its impressive driving performance and astonishing economy, thanks to its good aerodynamics and light weight.

Preview (beginning of the article)

Enthusiastic spectators stand at the edge of the snow-covered road and listen as the icy silence is broken by a growing growl. It builds up to a sharp roar, but then stops as soon as the nimble blue dwarf darts through the bends, until it disappears with another rumble, trailing a cloud of snow behind it ... It took some effort for the testers to detach themselves from these images when testing the Alpine 1600 S in order to assess the small coupé from France objectively. After all, for car enthusiasts of all ages, Alpine is synonymous with victories in major Formula 3 rallies and representing the tricolor at Le Mans. This test report is therefore aimed primarily at "fans" and those for whom driving is a delicate pleasure, even an art, even in our era of traffic jams and speed limits.
