Video: Alpine A110 review - new Porsche 718 Cayman rival tested Dec 8th 2017, 19:34 The Cayman finally faces a serious threat in the form of an aluminium-based, mid-engined sports car from Dieppe Alpine is back, so the hashtag goes. The Alpine A110 is the first product of the reborn French sports car company, and it's special: it has a new, all-aluminium architecture, with its engine in the middle, driving the rear wheels, and it weighs less than 1100kg. Those are sensational statistics and they make the Alpine A110 sensational to drive.
