Renault wants to relaunch the legendary Apline A110 model with the help of a revolutionary sportive which is ready to debut in 2010. The experience acumulated by Renault in the F1 gives the french manufacturer the posibility to dream at a performancing model able to compete with Mazda RX-8 or Nissan 350Z. The coupe will sport a supraalimented propulsor.

The future Alpine model was already seen testing the Nurburgring circuit, the protype being already disguised unde the body of Renault Megane coupe. The french manufacturer prepares the launch of the future sportive model and it’s full of confidence that this won’t be a failure such as Sport Spider vehicle. They gave up making this model in 1997 because of it’s weak succes.

Probably, a concept to anticipate the future Alpine is expected to debut next year at the Auto Show from Paris.
