Alpine is a storied French sports car marque founded by Jean R?d?l? in 1955, celebrated for lightweight, nimble cars built for rally and road. The classic Alpine-Renault A110 "Berlinette" became synonymous with agility thanks to a compact rear?engine layout, fiberglass bodywork and a focus on balance rather than brute power. Modern revival models continue that philosophy with mid?engine packaging, aluminium-intensive construction, and finely tuned suspension that reward precise inputs and deliver outstanding cornering feel. Alpine's engineering emphasis produces cars that feel alive on twisty roads and competitive in historic rally lore while offering contemporary safety and comfort.

An interesting anecdote: the name Alpine came from R?d?l?'s early successes in Alpine rallies, and the A110 helped secure Alpine-Renault the manufacturers' World Rally Championship in 1973, cementing its legend among enthusiasts. Collectors prize classic Berlinettes for their racing provenance and distinctive styling, while the modern A110 has won praise for reviving a lightweight sports car ethos in the 21st century.
