Summary

The Alpine A 110 1600 S was the top product of Alpine-Renault, founded by Jean Rédélé in Dieppe at the beginning of the 1970s. In rallying, the Alpine was the car to beat; on the road, the car was a notable success, although fewer than 8,000 were produced. The article focuses primarily on the Alpine A 110 1600 S, but also looks back at its history and shows many rare or never-before-seen pictures.

Preview (beginning of the article)

It's dark, all you can hear is the murmur of a few people. Suddenly there is a howl, a growl, a snarl. Four spotlights bore into the night. In the glow of the lights, a flat blue flounder can be seen prancing wildly around the bends of the special stage, its rear hanging out wide, its wheels searching for traction. Then the spook is over. This is what it must have felt and sounded like for rally spectators in 1971. It was the year of the Alpine A 110 1600 S, and it ended with winning the World Rally Championship. You don't get into an Alpine A 110, you throw yourself in: open the door, thread your right leg under the steering wheel, drop your buttocks into the seat, pull your left leg up. People up to 1.8 meters tall (even with a helmet) will find plenty of room in the Berlinette, but for taller people it will be cramped.
