The Renault Alpine A110 is NOT forgotten it is a legend. I am the proud owner of a Renault-Gordini powered Lotus Europa S2 Type 54. The Renault engine and trans axle are superbly engineered and even had lip seal rear main gaskets for the engine in a time of rope seal rear mains, this was 54 years ago. The engine is a superb all alloy Hemi 4 cylinder, and mine is tuned up so much it can keep up with Porsche 930's and 6litre V8's. That little angry 4 cylinder is a beast and at 6,000 rpm it has a scream unlike any other engine.
In Brazil the Renault Alpine A 110 was also licensed and built from mid 1960’s to late 60’s. Willis Overland who during that time produced the original Jeep since 1950’s to expand its line to passenger cars besides its own designed in US Aero Willis, which was a full sized car for Brazilian standards, it also went in partnership to bring the Renault Dauphine. Since the Dauphine became a comercial success, Willis Overland of Brazil, later started manufacturing the A110 licensed from Alpine. There it was called Willis Interlagos. Basically much of mechanicals came from the Dauphine. I am not quite sure but I think Emerson Fittipaldi who was twice F1 champion in 1972 and 1974 drove a Willis Interlagos in the mid 60’s in Brazil. A convertible version was also produced solely in Brazil. That I am very familiar because my mother’s neighbor had one and he kept in top notch collector’s condition. The Interlagos it is one of most desirable collector’s models of that era in Brazil.
My uncle had a red Interlagos coupe in Rio de Janeiro. He would put a cushion for me to see over the dashboard when I was about 8 years old. I was mesmerized by it’s beauty and being made out of fiberglass.
It's definitely not forgotten for me. I remember being in Elementary school in the south of Frane and our friend's cousin showed up with one. We were perched high above it and I can't tell you the indelible impression it left on my 7 year young mind. It was love at first sight.
This car is many years ahead of its time. Aerodynamics, and light weight are basic essential principles for handling, long maintenance, fuel efficiency, and many kilometres trouble free.
I drove one, once. Let me tell you, it was a brutal thing and easy is certainly not a word I would use about it. The clutch,hard as a brick, had about 1,5cm course and it would be quite hard to balance in a curve.
great content, decent vid. I would be happy to help with editing if you like, eliminate some redundancy to help it flow and swap some commonly used words for more interest. send me a script and i will give it a go. i love specific histories and am happy to help new channels
Very nice pics. Great. Thank you. Willy's of Brazil also produced Alpines. There were also Le Mans racing variants: the sleeker Alpine 210's. The successor to the A110 was the contemporized design of the A310, which when released, a magazine stated: 'Now Turin is no longer the only place in the world where they know how to make sports cars.' I want one. Will settle for a Willy's version please.
Yes, first it pronounced right. But mistakenly pronounced wrongly in the middle. Sorry for that. From next time I will try my best to make sure there are no wrong pronunciation in the video from the voice i use.
Just check some freelancing website you will know how much they cost. They are way to expensive. They charge 10-50$ for just 1 min voice. And I'm also not an English speaking person
@@intelli.car9 better a real non-native speaker (e.g. VisioRacer) than an artificial voice that uses vast amounts of resources to generate the commentary
I learned to drive in a Renault 4Cv, and my first car was a Renault Dauphine with "Ferlec" clutch, then an R10 Gordini; I was hooked on Renault and now, over half a century later, when someone asks me what car I would like above all others my immediate response is "Alpine A110 " !
Esse carro foi também produzido no Brasil, recebeu o nome de Interlagos. Era produzido sob licença pela Willis do Brasil, que produzia também o gordine. Todos com motores 1 litro. Na época era um dominante e grande ganhador no brasileiro que dava os primeiros passos usando veículos de produção brasileira.
The reared angine for good balance? That is a really silly statement. Especially when also mentioning the 911 which especially in those days was well known for its instability due to the rear engine.
In Brazil, Willys Overland made a version of the A108 called Willys Interlagos from nearly 1962 to 1966. The A110 never came to the Brazilian market, I believe, because of the acquisition (and the end of activities) of Willys Overland by the Ford Company in 1967.
I love the look of that car. One Celica look was inspired by it (I think so at least). Too bad it never really sold,outside of France. I got a tamiya remote control version of it. This car was quite cheap to buy for a long time but price has gone up in the past 20 years (finally in a way, but too bad of you want one like me). They are around 60k now if im not mistake. Nice complete video.
Some comments have already mentioned a Brazilian version of the Alpine. It was produced as a sport/street car (series), named Interlagos, with the lines of the Alpine A108, and mechanical items from the Renault Dauphine, which was already being produced in Brazil. From 1961 to 1966, 822 cars were sold. And several more adapted for competition, for the factory's sports team. The Fittipaldi brothers (Emerson and Wilson) were some of the team's pilots. As a curiosity, the company was named "Willys-Overland do Brasil", brazilian owned and named after the American company, already purchased by Kaiser Motors by that time. Still more curiously, Ford purchased Brazilian Willys by 1967.
If your going to do a review of an iconic car , pleeeeeeee get the name right It is an Alpeeene, not a car made by the Rootes Group in the 1950s and 1960s. You may not realise it but Alpine A110 lovers and owners ( I had 2 Alpine A110s) get really pissed off with the incorrect pronoun is toon!!
Thank you for your video but the name is not redele but Jean Rédélé . My father was in school with Jean , the founder of Alpine and I was in school with his son. Thank you.
Yes, one is gross horsepower, the other is net horsepower, which has been used in the US since 1972. That 307 engine in 1970 was 210 hp. And the 302 Z-28 version of that Chevrolet small block, put out 480 hp in race trim, in 1969.
Hello from Brazil ! Just for your knowledge , the Alpine A108 was built in Brazil by Willys Overland ( under Renault licencing) from 1961 to 1966. This version was named Willys Interlagos( as the Brazilian race track).The car had a berlineta and convertible versions.Also the engine was the Renault 900 cc ( 53 HP).The body was the first built in fiberglass in South America. Tks a Lot !!
I had one back in 1999 and regret ever selling it! There's an error in the vid here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0ahqI9-3dzk.html as that engine is nothing to do with the Alpine A110 unless it's from the modern 'retro A110'. Also at one point you talk about the A108 while showing an A110......still, nice to see it featuring these days. It is a truly classic design....
The Stratos was NOT a "Lance See Ahh". Lancia is ITALIAN. So it is pronounced "LAN CHA". ALSO, you seem to be incapable of research. The Alpine A110 was the basis that was raced on circuits around the world. I watched them in the 1960s. Stick to American land yachts if you are always going to insult European languages, people and countries. Perhaps you should adopt a relevant motto? "Nothing can work faster than correct research." DRC'd.
Why should any US American be required to lower themselves to the level of accepting that the rest of the world is equal to/possibly more important than their importance on the face of this planet? They are the ultimate in perfection as a nation, aren't they?!?
