Alpine A110 Turbo Criterium des Cévennes 1972

Climbing into an Alpine A110 is a bit like going to church. You don’t rush into it, you take it nice and slow, slowly sliding in behind the leather bound wheel of the car. Probably one of the most recognisable cars for the brand, it remains to this day the most popular Alpine, to the point that it inspired its rebirth this past year. Designed to win rallies, the A110 had a very rare turbo variant made of it. The latter won the rally of Cevennes, opening the door for the incredibly overpowered engine in other competitions. Alpine would make history thanks to this berlinette that held its own against the likes of the Porsche 911.
