Equipped with a 1.6 liter with GS option (large valve), this A110 is fitted to Group 4 specifications. The Alpine Renault dominated the rally scene in Europe in the early 1970's thanks to its particularly lightweight body (1367 lbs). This car won the 1997 Historic Rally des Cevennes in France and placed Second in the 1993 Historic RAC in England.
The Alpine A110 was produced from 1961 through 1973 and was powered by an assortment of Renault engines that ranged in size and horsepower output. Many of the mechanical components came from Renault. There was only one body-style offered for the Alpine and that was the Berlinetta. The A110 was given a fiberglass body and sat atop a steel chassis, similar to the designs of the Lotus Elan.
The A110 was very popular and successful during the early 1970s rally races where it won many of the races entered.
When production of the A110 began it was outfitted with a 1.1 liter R8 engine which produced around 95 horsepower (SAE). Later the cast-iron R8 Gordini engine was replaced in favor of the aluminum block Renault 16 TS engine. With two dual Weber 45 carburetors the horsepower rose to 125 which allowed the A110 to achieve a 210 km/h top speed.
