Weighing in at a reported 880kg gives this sports car concept a pretty staggering 456bhp\/ton power-to-weight ratio that should give this car incredible performance.Alpine is not just the name of the car, Alpine is a French company that has built some eye-opening sports cars over the years using Renault engines. Although falling under the Renault mantle in the 1970s, not much has been heard of the Alpine brand since the 1990s.Renault certainly now seem intent on paying due respect to a brand that won the 1978 Le Mans 24 Hours, they say that they wanted to do a \u201cproper race car\u201d under the Alpine brand.What exactly that will entail is yet to be fully revealed, though it is believed that this concept dream-machine will be based on the Renaultsport Megane race car providing 400bhp through the rear wheels. Though a production model, should it materialise, is likely to be around 300bhp and may well be a further three or so years away.Alpine\u2019s old factory is now the Renaultsport Dieppe plant, where the A110-50 is most likely to be built should Renault manage to get the pieces of this sports car jigsaw complete. The word is that one missing piece of the jigsaw for Renault might well be a desire to add another manufacturer to the A110-50 armoury to sit alongside Nissan.Below: The original Alpine A110, which celebrates it’s 50th birthday this year.Come Friday, and the storming of the Monaco GP circuit, the Renault Alpine A110-50 is likely to reveal a lot more of itself to an eager, watching public.A110-50 images from evo.co.uk"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Renault Alpine A110-50 Sports Car Concept Set For Monaco","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/renault-alpine-a110-50-sports-car-concept-set-for-monaco\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
