The Alpine A110 is a different kind of sports car - lighter, more agile, and less powerful than its conventional sports car rivals.
This new 2020 Alpine A110S version, though, is closer than the lesser, standard, A110. With 288bhp it can do 0-62mph in 4.4 seconds and has a top speed of 162mph.
Which makes it closer to the benchmark car in the mid-engined, two-seat sports car class: the Porsche 718 Cayman.
This, then, is the 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman T, the Alpine A110S's closest rival. It has a 2.0-litre flat four turbocharged engine making 296bhp, can go from 0-62mph in 5.1sec and has a top speed of 171mph.
But which is the better sports car? Join our testers as we try them back-to-back to pick a winner. If we can.

I have chosen already and bought the A110S (same color and options like in the video) Why? I have driven both and the ALPINE is a different kind of getting engaged by the car on the road. It's so amazing and I use it as daily car. In normal mode no problem at all and the automatic gear box is perfect through the city. Why a Cayman T is in that point better? No way and I have driven both versions of the Cayman S and T. My hint for everyone who has the money for these cars ... test drive the ALPINE A110S Not only for 10 minutes. Drive it some hours also through normal traffic and of course on fancy roads ... Then decide ... I did it and selected the A110S

@aidanwilson6035 4 года назад

The predictable , sensible & logical choice would be the Cayman , the best engineered all-round daily drivers sports car , but somehow the Alpine to me is more desirable , it has more soul & character , it will be much more rare & exclusive for those drivers who want to be different & not follow the herd , the design whether you like it or not stands out compared to the Porsche which have all looked much the same for decades & obviously that 4 cylinder in the Cayman is the biggest drawback when the A110 sounds better & despite being smaller has superior performance due to it's lightweight & is cheaper to run , no doubt the Cayman would be the winner if they bring back that 6 pot engine !.

@DriverGuy23 4 года назад

I actually love the exhaust note on the Cayman. I have a 718 with the Sports Exhaust (which the T has as standard) & it sounds amazing inside & out. I thought I might be a bit disappointed coming from a 981, but after a few months of ownership I really do like it.

I love Renault for making the Alpine. In a world of quasi SUVs and uninspiring Crossovers, it’s a refreshing change, however at 60k I would take the Porka hands down. I think the Porsche is the more complete car

@AR-gk1kt 8 месяцев назад

James said he'd have the Alpine but I have the impression he'd really prefer the Porsche. I don't think one is better than the other, different strokes... The Alpine feels more agile and unique, the Porsche has better build quality and feels more expensive. I'd like to say the Alpine is more sensational, fun etc but I think that Porsche lovers enjoy their cars just as much in the end. I've always loved Renault Sport's nimbleness so the Alpine A110 is nothing short of a God-send, but acknowledge this often comes at the sacrifice of driving more well-rounded German cars. Clio RS vs Golf GTIs, Alpine A110 vs Cayman, etc.

Cayman GTS 4.0 is a 70-75k car for decent spec, so in a slight category above these 55-60k cars. I don't think I could spend 60k on either of those cars as tested, something from the used market I think would be a lot more exciting for less money (even with some set aside for maintenance) a 987.2 3.4s or 987 R 981 S or GTS, Alternately original M2 coupe for 30k would have 1 years bmw warranty and a 3.0L 6cyl and some back seats....

@Dominikmj 4 года назад

Here’s the thing: 1) get over the engine. I guess the issue is rather than the last generation had a Boxer 6 engine which sounded far better and “felt better”- but overall the new engine is lighter, more capable - just doesn’t sound as good! 2) I am confused, that car reviews came this way. These cars are just not track toys (for most). They are probably daily drivers for most people. Hence dismissing most of the every day capabilities and features is just ignorant and stupid. Both cats are fun and very capable. But I would fit into the Cayman and the Cayman is more liveable - more comfy, roomy etc - than the Alpine. This is more important than subtleties!

@chumaxa 4 года назад

This is not the day yet where turbo engines are as good as N/A, just a fact, they are getting better, but not there yet. And no they are not daily drivers, all you need is to go on the used market and have a look on the average mileage, these are week end cars mostly, hence why you will rarely see the A110 on the road. And having driven both, you can live with the A110, good for you if you prefer the Porsche, but both are able to fulfill the daily duties.

@Dominikmj 4 года назад

@@chumaxa Well - I owned a Boxster and it is a great daily driver. I also owned other small coupes/convertibles as well as have test driven a lot of others. And I honestly believe, that the small Porsche gives the best daily driving experience - without the compromise. Mileage isn't also a good indicator (especially if you are living in London...) if it is a "daily driver". Obviously it won't be a car for a person who needs the car for his job...

@geraldnsugbe6531 4 года назад

I have seen this video at least 3 times and James' verdict baffles me, after his being so effusive in praise for the Cayman T. I was really expecting a split-decision. That said, the engineering recipe of the Alpine does not appear original to me. Those who have read a recent revisit of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL's report by Autocar in the 1950's will know how this machine outdid the heavier and more powerful Ferraris of the day. The Mercedes 300 SL, like the Alpine, drew upon aluminium components to achieve this engineering superiority. And, I am sure that the Alpine, like the Mercedes 300 SL, gained in sheer agility from this. So, as admirably agile as the Renault is, I think that this was a recipe borrowed from great cars of the past like the Mercedes 300 SL gull-wing. With safety being such a high priority on my list, I would prefer the safer handling Porsche over the exhilaration of sheer agility and value for money which together I think, sadly, constitute the main criterion for the verdict of this video review.

I wish Renault would produce an A110 'Plus', with the engine and steering-mapping/geometry of the 'S', but produce a 'hybrid' suspension-tuning that was much closer to the standard car's damping (perhaps, identical to it), but with stiffer anti-roll bars. I'd keep the smaller wheels of the standard car - tires, I'm not sure about... That would be a truly perfect package.

Porsche should take the new 6 cylinder engine from the GTS, and make a 4 cylinder version and stick it into the T, and reduce the tire width.

The problem for the Alpine is the badge versus cost. £60k is a lot of money when you can own a Porsche badge... even if it's the obvious choice. I would love an Alpine A110S but at £30k. Needs to be like 370z money really to be a real viable choice. £60k gets you a lot of second hand car. eg an Aston Martin Vantage.

I tried the Alpine and liked the noise of the engine. Then I went to test if it was real. Lowered the windows and went full steam in the next available tunnel and.... nothing! The noise is just a loudspeaker inside! I will stick with Porsche for quite a while 😁 Cheers,

Cayman has classic styling. 110 looks like a bit plainer, like a kit car. Cayman is a Porsche, 110 basically a Renault. Cayman has built in quality, 110 I suspect far less. Cayman is manual, 110 isn't, Porsche more common, 110 more exclusive. No competition in my view, the Porsche every day, but each to his own. Wonder how many people saying the 110 would still make that choice if they were actually walking into a showroom with a pocket of cash?

Never drove one but every tester I've seen testing it said the Alpine was a banger and a real joy to drive for sportscar enthousiast. This makes me think we need to drive the Alpine to understand how enjoyable it is to drive.

I find the Alpine driver difficult to understand. His low pitched voice somehow gets lost in the car/road noise. If I was British, different story, but I'm not. Oh well, pound sand...

alpine shouldn't be considered as everyday car i believe, because everything makes it special is about its drivetrain. the moment you consider the cabin and screens etc, alpine loses that being special feeling instantly.

Mt A110 PE is a every time car, daily/track/social runs

@@rodneyapcar9384 you can use it as one for sure, but you cant convince me that it is a good daily, nonetheless if they improve even the screen to new cpu and android version we see in new clio 5 , facelift megane,talisman etc when they facelift it, I think it will be good enough for everyone even tho in cabin spaces are not enough and almost don't exist.

@@millipekmez577 A few points, the car is a two seater like many other "sports" cars. It's onboard functions provide connectivity via Alpine App along with radio, SD card, Nav. Do you think the folks at Alpine only designed it not to be a daily drive. If fact I know of 3 local owners that use the A110 as daily drives. The car is about minimum weight, one can add accessories for storage such as a bin on the back fire wall between the seats. Leather pouches that live each side of seats next to doors. By all means buy a Porsche for more storage but less handling, performance and enjoyment. But then I am so bias.

@@rodneyapcar9384 i know and agree where are you coming from but I'm looking at this topic from many point of views, I would prefer alpine and even tho I like my fast reaction screens and fast cpus I wouldn't care less in an alpine car. personal preferences dont change the facts tho no matter what we feel :) because it is personal and bad screen, bad phone holder, great drivetrain are facts :)
