Renault finally unveiled the Alpine A110-50 concept that elaborates on Alpine’s signature blue along with its front mounted fog lamps, replicated as oval yellow LED lights on front. But under the paint, the concept is more like the Renault Dezir Concept from a year ago. It’s built upon the Megane Trophy’s chassis and is just a fraction of the original Alpine A110′s weight thanks to its extensive usage of carbon fiber. Under the hood is the Renault V4Y powerplant, a 3.6 liter 24-valve V6 engine rated at 400 horsepower and it’s packed with a semi-automatic 6-speed gearbox, the same found on F1 race car’s transmission, gears can be control either through clutch pedal or paddle on the steering column. Entry done via scissor doors, Renault took out drive assist advancements such as ABS and traction control to enhance driver’s feel of the road.
