Alpine A110 suspension setup was used by Gordon Murray as reference point for GMA T50 because he thinks it is perfect performance/comfort setup. And also he had chosen A110 as one of his daily drive cars 😁 that speak for itself of how good A110 is.
I like how he said that his team has taken the Alpine apart to find out what is the secret trick that makes this suspension so good, but they have not found anything extraordinary, it's just a perfectly tuned double wishbone suspension on each corner of the car.
Very happy to have lend our (her) car to Misha and how swiftly he drove it. Now she want to try Spa though … It is the GT setup which for us is perfect. The car has around 12K on it, still retaining factory tires. After Misha’s lap, it still showed 7.7 liters per 100 kms (the rest being driving around 1K kilometers on the highway to the Ring) which is a nice bonus. To anyone considering meeting the true potential of their car on the Ring, I would highly recommend giving a shout to Misha (I did through Facebook). Only disappointment is that I didn’t get to experience the true speed 😅
Being from the US, I have heard of Alpine, but don't know much at all about them, but man, the induction sound and quickness of the trans would be a blast of a daily car to rip around.. What a cool car, looks are a bit subjective but no one can say that it wouldn't be a blast to own.. Cheers!!
I did not expect to be so impressed by this car, the owner seemed to be enjoying herself so much discovering what it could do. Well done Misha, and well done on making sure your passenger was OK.
Well,it's an Alpine,a company that buys new cars from BMW and tunes them untill they re near perfect just like RUF does with Porsche,what can we expect? Just like RUF ,they have an excellent reputation and history in the racing world.

Misha is the only guy that makes you love your car more than you ever did. After just one lap, showing you what it's capable of, he rekindles that flame you had when you bought it.
What a nice little car, always liked the quirky French cars, R5, 205 GTi , Clio RS..... but this is much nicer, superb power/weight ratio.. and she liked every second of the ride 👍
I am french and proud of the new Alpine A110, a true sports car: not very powerful, but with its incredible balance, its low weight, this is a beast when there are turns and corners! I would like to test it on the French Alps. And have real fun.
I'm german and I think that the A110 is a superb car. The Infotainment could be a bit more modern, but apart from that, this thing is an insanely good car, love it.
Awesome drive and passenger reaction as always, But wanted to add that having the steering angle plus the power and torque figures shown by the car is really cool, lets you see exactly where Misha is putting the power down and how much, shows the finesse of the steering.
She was brilliant entertainment to watch. She said a few silent wows on many a corner exit & never took her eyes off where a corner exit may be. Mischa asks at the end " are you alright" yeah but you did move her glasses on some of the bumps was my thoughts and she said "WOW", perfect
With so many videos/cars and as you approach 1 million Misha, an idea that I thought would be awesome is a series on FWD, AWD, mid-engine, RWD and the different lines and approaches you take to driving them on the Ring. So many people go and completely fuck up, wreck or otherwise ruin laps for others it might be nice if they had a video to reference some tips. Love your content, good luck next weekend!
Sounds like a little aggressive bee :-) Yellow would fit to it :-) Didn't expected this power from this car - very nice to see it on the track!!! Respect to the lady :-)
I much prefer them being fixed in one place so I know where they are no matter the hand positioning and steering angle. Well, here's a request to car manufacturers, make two detachable paddle shifter sets, so that everyone can customize it to their liking I guess
An interview with the cheif engineer said they did the best they could but much of it is parts bin stuff, Renault gave them a tiny budget not seeing the car as a big seller, it's honestly amazing with what they ended up with.
this is so awesome to see her loosing up tension and enjoying it as a rollercoaster type ride. The way she's being thrown around really made her have fun. BIIIIG SMILE ! ;D
Love the engine sound, induction and its responsiveness :-) That dash though, all the information and I was torn between watching the track and the instruments, A+ to your passenger too, she looked like she was really enjoying the ride! Love it
WOW. She was very brave. What a cool lady !!!! Thanks to her for that impressive lap, I’m totally amazed by the car, I love it so much and fantastic configuration ! What a car…
Merci pour cette super vidéo!!... Le pilote est très pro, d'un calme et d'une sérénité qui donnent l'impression qu'il va au supermarché... Un plaisir d'admirer son pilotage impeccable.
Not sure if you know but the 1.8t is fron the Megane 4 RS just tuned for more output and the suspension is also from a megane RS. Basically a RenaultSport with a different body.
Didn't the 4 RS (2018) come out after the A110 (2017)? According to Wikipedia (only available in French): "La Mégane 4 RS, sortie en janvier 2018 avec un moteur 1.8 TCe de 280 ch pour se placer sur la même lignée que la concurrence. Renault proposera le choix entre une boite automatique (DCT) ou manuelle. Le moteur de la RS est repris de sa nouvelle cousine technique l'Alpine A110." So from a timeline pov, you could say the RS got its parts from the A110. Not that it really matters, they are both great cars.
What a beauty. The kind of car that makes you look over your shoulder after you parked it. And smile. What else could you really want. Combined with a chassis that makes you enjoy it in real life, on a windy mountain road, and a responsive engine you can actually use all year around. Just genius.
I have seen giant men look like they are about to cry or suffer from a heart attach with you Misha - while this lady had a smile on her face all the way. I am impressed with the Alpine, never knew they are so quick.
I used to work in a car wash and a older lady owned a 2020 a110 she drove the hell out of he thing and loved every minute. Should have seen the smile on her face
The Alpine A110 is an awesome car! Looks awesome inside and outside and is constructed very nicely. The sound is lovely and not too much like with some Lambos or sth that are just noisy.. The lightweight does its job very fine and you can see how smooth it drives. Haven't been able to drive it myself but the videos speak for themselves
Are you okay? Yes! The way she answered was so cool… And what to say about the A110. The best car ever designed. I’m French of course, but what a beautiful piece of French History…
Impressive! 👍 Love the Alpine A110. The clean design and the performance is just 👌! Unfortunately, it is often ridiculed because of its French roots and the small 1.8 turbo I4 engine. It's proof that you don't necessarily need big engines to compete with the big boys. I saw a video where an A110 R chased a GT3 RS ring taxi and the Porsche didn't manage to outrun the little Alpine R. She stuck to the GT3's ass like a terrier! It's all about weight 🤷♂!
@@lmartinmiami82 In my opinion nothing, but I often read derogatory comments that French cars are bad and the Alpine is "just a Renault". Bullshit if you ask me. The Alpine is absolutely awesome!
@@Scheltokeeper Hmm I understand. I am always confront my people about that. We have a culture of self destruction...just ridiculous. We have so much laws against us regarding the Auto industry since decades ..it's just stupid. I am amazed that we kept being top performers at rally, f1 and so on with all the restrictions we have to deal with. Indeed because of regulations renault/alpine cannot go higher than a 1.8l ... but luckily this car is doing good with this small engine. With age I am becoming more of a châssis guy but with the money they ask for this car it's hard for me to overlook the 6cyl. Turbo bmw cars... therefore I wish to own an Alpine but ending up with a. M140I :)
@@lmartinmiami82 Nah...you don't need a big engine. The restrictions in france are not good, but the Alpine is not the only car in it's class which runs a 4 cyl. engine. Just look at some Lotus cars or the beautiful Alfa Romeo 4C. They all perform well. Just keep the weight low! But you're right. The Alpine is too pricey and i can understand why most people go for some cars with bigger engines for the same price. Or even less! I'm from germany and the goverment here sucks too 🤣. German cars are good, but I'm not really interested in them because you see them everywhere here. Good, but nothing special. I went for a 2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia last year and i absolutely love it! Greetings 👋🏻.
What a great car! I wish we could get this in the US. There was speculation earlier this year that it may be possible, but I haven't read anything new since. Thanks for sharing the drive!
Americans always say that there's no replacement for displacement but the Alpine shows what adding lightness can do.
The Alpine A110 is seriously underrated. Great chassis.
Those who know, know that it is a very capable and light car. Not underrated by any means.
suspension is too soft, but power weight ratio seems very optimal.
it's just the motor+gear box that are boring, great chassis
too bad it's so expensive for a 4 cylinders
@@Kamui.. boring? 🤣
Her smile made me smile. She was super quiet but her facial expression told the story of her joy. Awesome lap.
She was not ready for the jump 😂
I like the fact that she didn't overreacted, she stayed really calm 😊
Typical french reaction 😂 They seem so stoic!
@@Dislobdepends on the person haha i would love to go to the nurburgring
For sure, I was generalizing. I know not all French fit the stereotype.
She was loving it.
She had real fun there
The little Alpine is about as fast as that "1000hp" GTR 🤣
that's the new meta meme around here and I love it lmao
😂😂👍
Each corner also fast
Bro, I really think that guy's belief for that Nissan to have 1000hp is much stronger than dyno facts
Feel bad for that guy. He got roasted publicly all over the tube. Now he gotta muscle up and bring a 1000 hp video proving its 1000
She is so proud that her car is passing all the other cars.. and she should be😊
Misha surprising the ladies as usual lol
Her face at 10:08 😂 she seems so nice 🙂
Have you ever driven the Caterham 7? Would be cool to see (maybe the R500 or 620R).
He has the affect with men as well

I like even more that they already had a lotus taken apart at the factory to use as reference for the T50, but then choose the A110 over it
3:05 Misha to the GT86 ahead: "He has a big wing, so he cannot see us." 😂
🤣💀
he is a friendly guy
Well that’s true! Lmaooo

Why skip a Misha video? There’s so much to learn each day.
That’s what I’m saying! U can’t miss any!
I really like the HP/torque values and lean angle in the instrument cluster next to rpm, don't see that often! Really nice car
You mean steering angle... because if he's leaning the car 90° in the corner, he's gonna have troubles 😀

Beautifully said!
probably one of the most beautiful modern car out there, especially in that colour!
You can tell how great the suspension tuning is through the Karussel. Spot on, Alpine!
What a beautiful car.
Misha putting on a spectacularly considerate lap. All done so at pace but smoothly for his passenger. Takes proper skill to do, as ever.
So she didn't expect you to finish this fast 😜

I'm really liking how the alpine handles.. not too much power.
it's extremely nicely balanced. i would say the power is "just right" for the setup. it's seriously quick but not in a scary way
There's a reason Gordon Murray drives one as his daily 😅
