Project 52 - 40/52: Alpine ?




This week my attention has been attracted by the Paris Autoshow.

2012 was the 50 years of the A110 Alpine, THE icon of the french sportcars, for which Renault has shown a driving concept. It has not to be shown in the autoshow (as to let the new Clio being the star) but it's there in the advertisers hall! It's a shame and I'm sure that it could have increase the visits on the official stand.

This concept, for the 50 years of a car which has been famous because of its lightness, has a big V6. I'm really sure that if Renault want to rebirth this brand they will need a big GT like this to make money, but I think that they also need a smaller car incorporated the DNA of the historical brand. One year ago I drawn what could be this small sports berlinetta range (from roadster to WRC) and it still seems valid (except that it doesn't match the Renault design) :
