The legendary Renault Alpine A110 was a rally legend and one of the best sports cars in the early ’70s. Now it finally has a modern version. For years, Renault teased performance car fans with concepts and announcements. Finally, they announced a production-ready car. If you’re familiar with the classic Alpine, you’ll instantly recognize the shape and idea behind this fantastic car (via Alpine).

It’s a small, lightweight sports coupe with a rear-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive. It provides driving excitement and unparalleled road holding. That was the idea behind the new Alpine A110. This small coupe weighs just over a ton and has a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder behind the driver powering the rear wheels. The power is more than adequate at 252 HP running through its seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
