    Alpine Revives Rallying Heritage With 300 HP (224 kW) A110 Rally

    Despite the fact that we don’t receive the Alpine A110 in South Africa, there’s no denying that it is one of the most talked about little sportscars out there. Back in the early 1970s, however, Alpine was well-known for their involvement in rallying and indeed won the 1973 World Rally Championship. Now, though, it seems as if Alpine wants to go back to their rallying roots. Cue the A110 Rally.

    The new French rally car will sit alongside Alpine’s current track cars, the GT4 and the Cup and will share the same aluminium chassis as them. While it has similar components to its track-only counterparts, the A110 Rally does have a couple of different tools to help it cope on the rally stage.

    Three-way hydraulic suspension, new Brembo brakes, a limited-slip diffrential and a six-speed sequential gearbox will all assist in making sure the Alpine will try to be as successful in rallying a they were in the past. A roll cage, Sabelt bucket seats and six-point harnesses (all approved by the FIA) will also ensure the safety aspects are taken care of.

    What will be powering the little French beast? The bonnet houses the same 4-cylinder, 1.8-litre engine that is found in the road-going A110. However, power has been increased to 300 horsepower (224 kW). The A110 Rally also delivers its power a bit differently as well as when it delivers its peak power.

    “This return to rallying is highly anticipated as Alpine made history when it won the first-ever World Rally Championship in 1973. To ensure the success of this new adventure, we have entrusted the research and development, production and commercialization of the Alpine A110 Rally to Signatech, our partner as well in the FIA World Endurance Championship and around the Cup and GT4 programmes,” said Alpine’s Commercial and Competition Director, Régis Fricotté.

    The car will cost around €150 000 (approx. R2.4 million). Will that price be worth it? Well, we’ll have to wait until 2020 to see if Alpine’s rallying past in the 70s will ensure its success in the 21 century.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
