  • Alpine A110 voted Most Beautiful Car of 2017
  • Web voters acclaim the new car’s design which carries over the spirit of the original A110 berlinette
  • Alpine A110 is a compact, lightweight and agile sports car honed for driving enjoyment 

The 33rd Festival Automobile International in Paris, France, saw the new Alpine A110 claim the Most Beautiful Car of 2017 award which was presented to Groupe Renault Chairman and CEO, Carlos Ghosn.

Reviving such an iconic sports car as the Alpine A110 has been an inspiring challenge, the objective being to bestow it with modern technology and expertise while remaining true to the car’s unique heritage,” said CEO Carlos Ghosn. “We are very proud of the passion the new A110 has generated not only at our Dieppe plant in Normandy [France], where it is made, but also across Groupe Renault. This prize is a tremendous reward for all those who, over a period of five years, put so much energy into bringing this symbol of excellence and French-style elegance back to life.

The Alpine A110, which was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show barely a year ago, was singled out as the Most Beautiful Car of 2017 by a public online vote.

This award is also a welcome reward for the untiring work that Groupe Renault’s teams have put in to re-establish this iconic French brand.

The new A110 is an elegant, lightweight, two-seat sports coupé that marks Alpine’s renaissance. In keeping with the brand’s DNA, it places the accent on agile performance and driving enjoyment, without compromising everyday comfort.

Designed and made in France, it features a lightweight aluminium construction and sophisticated double wishbone suspension. The A110 Première Édition is powered by a 1.8-litre, mid rear-mounted, 252-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

The Festival Automobile International’s award is the second to have been won by Alpine after the A110 was named Best Sports Car of the Year at the Trophées Argus 2018 ceremony in December.

What is Coupe

A coupe (or coupé) is a two or four-seater car with a fixed roof and two doors. The style is generally used for sportier models in a manufacturer's range.In the 19th century, a coupé was a carriage with two doors enclosing seating for two with an exposed area on the front for a driver. In recent times it has become very common for a coupe's roof to slope down at the back in a shallow 'streamlined' fashion.This is sometimes called a 'fastback' design. Speakers of American English pronounce the word to rhyme with "sloop" (IPA) /ku:p/).and spell it without an accent. In Europe and the UK, the original French spelling and a semi-French pronunciation are often used — ( /'ku:pe?/).
