In motorsport, certain characteristics are the order of the day. While many focus on power, a certain Jean Rédélé quickly understood that weight was his best ally. Victorious aboard the Renault 4CV, he decided to create his own car. It maintains the same mechanics, but combines it with an ultralight aluminum body. The A106 and the A108 having proved their worth, the Alpine A110 was created in 1962 and then weighed only 565 kilos! With a power of 55hp up to 127hp in 1973, the A110 won everything in its path, especially the World Rally Championship! Cocorico!
