This is the most underrated car James May owns

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

He fell in love with it on The Grand Tour so much that he bought one, and now James May has a bit of a public service announcement about just what the Alpine A110 is all about.

    The 'S' does 0-60 in 4.4 seconds and 161mph coupled with 40mpg (even when driving 'enthusiastically'). The double clutch gearbox is excellent (jumped from a 718 Cayman PDK into the A110 and never questioned the gearbox). After extensive research, number crunching and soul searching I just ordered the A110s. I looked at the market. Took everything for extended test drives (days not minutes). The Alpine makes too much sense to ignore; performance that leaves you grinning from ear to ear and an everyday practicality that allows it to be used as a daily drive. Is it a 718 Cayman basher? Only the Porsche GTS4 and the GT4 would be 'better' but then you are in a different ball park. Go and try one. Get your head round the fact that you don't have to play 'German badge wars' any more and enjoy arguably the best sports car around. For anyone interested the film was shot Near Compton Abbas airfield, just south of Shaftsbury, Dorset. My local area and roads I drive often.

    I have to say, I think the modern A110 is one of the few cars that really pulls off the retro design look. I think its absolutely gorgeous from every angle. I think this is largely due to it still being quite small. Other cars (500 and Mustang) have grown in size exponentially, therefore the design language doesn't look right.

    I really can't imagine what my life would have looked like without James, Richard and Jeremy. This phenomenal trio has always made me smile even in hard times and I will always be thankful to them. I hope that the next generations will get the same experience as me watching their series despite the growing influence of EVs and the end of the ICE era. I don't think that anyone will be able to produce a show better than theirs, because what these gentlemen are doing is writing history.
