The best intro ever from a car blogger?! Absolutely brilliant. The fact you’re doing this with such little budget and producing international broadcast quality segments is a true testimonial to your skill and persistence. Hell yeah. Keep it up.
Genuine enjoyment in this thing, one of those cars you just need to go and try yourself. Next video will be finally going for the first drive in my new Porsche!
The Alpine is more interesting than any Porsche. The 911 still looks like a flattened KdF car aka Beetle. We need more cars like the Alpine, GT86/BRZ. Small lightweight sports cars. Even a new compact Ford Escort Cosworth would be great. The cars of today are built way too big, heavy and full of electronic shit.
Tant d'efforts ont été mis dans cette voiture ! Vraiment heureux et fier qu'elle plaise, elle a été faite pour ça, surtout dans sa conduite et son look ! Chaque propriétaire et conducteur doit y trouver ce qu'elle représente, le plaisir de conduire et de s'amuser à son bord ! Enjoy with this french car ! 😁✌
Your video was a a highlight of my Sunday. The different edits you make are a nice way the cars stand out. The cars become much cooler with your editing skills. Switzerland is a beautiful place as well. I'm excited to go there! Lastly, the cars door panels remind of the Divo because of the color and the French flag.
Nostalgia... when a RUclips video filmed, hosted and produced by ONE person reminds you of the glory days of Top Gear UK ;) Yet another fantastic video mate! As for the car, would you prefer this or a Renault Meganne RS280?
Recently I took delivery of my A110 pure and, at first I kinda felt like what was all the hype about( it replaces my Mk3 Audi TT, shares a garage with my Nissan 350 Z, VW Arteon and current Volvo V60) but now after a few weeks its all starting to make sense , I think I’am really warming to what the A110 is all about. Glad I wasn’t the only one who didn’t get it from the start. Cheers from warm Brisbane .
Interesting to see how your content has evolved but a lot of your signatures are very evident….would love you to revisit the Alpine A110 given all the points of comparison that you now have 😊
We need more sub-1200kg sports cars. Amazing filming and editing that get better with every video. But...that weather !!! I live in the Algarve, so i wouldn't even step outside with that amount of snow, let alone drive ! 😂
Which drone do you use by the way Luke? I was checking other videos, i thought you mentioned it once along with the music and other link you add but I can't find it. Is that DJI Mavic?
Luke so how do you compare this A110 to your Cayman because that's the million dollar question, all the journalist are saying its as good. In the driving perspective.... Also interested why you feel this won't appeal to younger drivers. In must be more affordable as a used buy and maintenance... compared to Porsche.
@@Franzino don't disagree with anything you say, perhaps rather than trying to establish Alpine as a independent brand, just leave it with its history related to Renault, most people don't buy the separate brand thing anyway and Renault is still very much part of F1, which in time might appeal to youngsters. If they don't find a younger market it could be a critical failure and I don't want to see that. Its new price is equally not helping it against Porsche... but we know used values won't hold over time like Porsche... given its a Renault, on the flip side its cheaper to maintain and repair for younger drivers. The A110 is definitely an individual's car, which will stand out from the crowd.
Alan Hunt, lol, seriousely ... this Alpine has so little to do with Renault. Probably as much or even less than Bugatti with Volkswagen. Yeah, the new Volkswagen Chiron. That sounds about right when I read you. lol Oh, you probably have not driven one yet. Renault make quite good sportscars, like the Megane RS, but frankly, this car was developped with a completely different Spirit. Definitely different than a Renault. Coming to the price, the 718 is no where near the A110. 718 is at least 10k EUR more expensive if you take the minimal options. If you talk about reselling a Porsche, there are quite a list of options you simply have to take because otherwise you will not resell it. In terms of brand image, I agree Porsche will most certainely continue to be far ahead for still a very long time if not forever. The Alpine is not a car you buy for the brand, although it also tells people a lot about you, the Alpine is a car you buy for the immense joy of driving it. You buy it because it's unique, because no other car comes anywhere close to the amount of simple joy you feel when driving it. You can't imagin the number of Alpine owners who switched from Porsche to the A110. As you can guess, I'm one of them ;)
Remember the old days at Monte Carlo rally. It was like this. Suspension for real life. Performance for real life and even bucket seats for real life. Still weighs about same as 4C or lotus which are not for real world conditions.
Nice video Luke! You are so lucky to be able to drive a car like that for a few weeks. I don't know if we will ever see one of those in North America let alone be able to drive one. Lucky Luke!
Luke, the specs sound like it could be the ultimate mountain track weapon! Does it have rear wheel drive? If yes, I will love it even before driving it!
Great Video Luke! Love it that you tried it on snowy roads. So great. Did you try without track control just for fun ? Guess TC has to be ... Also, you seemed to have enjoyed the Alpine, like most of the ones that tested it. You still prefered to buy a 718...ok, realized it's a GTS. Still, can you tell us more about what drove your choice ? Thnks
Thank you for the video! I Simply love this car! I just hope the other manufacturers making cars with the same filosophy...mid engine.. lightweight and not so much expencive
Hey Luke were you running winter tyres or the standard tyres? I have an Alpine and I'm wondering if I'd nee to switch the tyres over for an Alpine trip in the Alps.
Yeah it had winter specific tires on, depends what month you go to the alps but yeah ideally you need winter tires on to be safe as the weather changes so quick here
@@carswithluke Thanks, do you know which tyres it had fitted? I also just found a marketing pic with a ski rack on the back which looks pretty sick, I'm trying to source one.
Hey man great job as always. Such a beautiful mixture of car and scenery. Did the car have winter tires on? I was wondering the same about all your snowy videos actually.
Thanks and yeah for sure always with winter tires, it's a must here in Switzerland during winter months otherwise videos would be mainly of me just stuck on hills ;-)
Always wondered how the alpine manage snow. Does it, being a rear wheel drive car make it a bit doll on snow, or does it actually have good traction compared to popular "snow" cars?
The tires are crucial, the recommended Michelin Alpine 5 are perfectly fine on snow, but they cannot replace all-wheel drive, which is necessary on gradients or in particularly muddy conditions.
Maybe I am just ignorant.. but what is the great fascination with that car? The frontend looks weird the rear okay-ish.. thx to the 4 cyl it sounds horrible... plz help me understand :)
I honestly always said the same, it's almost hard to put my finger on it but it was that much fun to drive and maybe the factor of driving something so different to the rest adds it the excitement. I think no matter all the reviews you will only know how fun it is and how nice to drive it is once you try it yourself on a twisty road.
Another great installment. Wish you could make these a little longer and post more often, but I know it's easier said than done! But would love to test drive one of these little beauties. It's depressing how safety regulations are making cars more and more heavy (which I understand is a necessary evil). But it just shows the kind of performance you can get with weight saving without the need of resorting to even heavier, more expensive engines that can crank out 700hp for a two-ton car. *sigh
I don't think this car only appears to people who were around when the old alpine was successfull. I am old, but not quite old enough for that. A "light" car with a good power to weight ratio made for fun driving i find interesting. And as i don't fit (lenghtwise) in a Mazda MX5/Miata or an Alfa 4C the Alpine sounds interesting. What slightly puts me off is the absolute lack of storage in the interior, the fixed paddles and the lack of luggage space. (just look up how a spare wheel sould be carried). About the video, i'm kind of new to this channel, but the volume difference between the music and your talk makes it harder to watch. (I'm no fan of the music and as it is way louder than your voice this means i have to constantly have my fingers on the volume control.)
I was at the same decision. I bought the Apline A110 in white 😊 Such a beautiful car. It feels a little bit lighter than the TT an more real. TT is more smooth.
Azap, I loved that too, and that's such a relatable statement. Everyone wants to aspire to a car with a good smile per gallon ratio, it just sounds FUN; this car certainly looks the part. That's one of the reasons Luke's videos are so watchable, his whitty banter, the others are numerous, and not to mention every video he makes is ultra beautiful, I love his cinematography. Thanks for sharing, Matt
Great video. Can you post up your kit? Quality is very good. The lack of fake smiles/laughs/use of dads money/Lamborghinis/wraps/cheese and other stupid crap in your videos is a revelation. Keep up the good work Luke.
Chris Pfuhl Can’t wait to drive in film it! And yeah winter tires or I wont be going anywhere in Switzerland :-) will have them fitted this week ready for the first drive
Yes.
Finally.
A Alpine on snow and ice in the Alps.
Can't really beat that.
That car looks so cool.
Great video.
Denis Spratt Thanks, was great in those conditions, happy it was enjoyed, will miss this thing
The best intro ever from a car blogger?! Absolutely brilliant. The fact you’re doing this with such little budget and producing international broadcast quality segments is a true testimonial to your skill and persistence. Hell yeah. Keep it up.
that intro made me want henry catchpole im afraid.
Alpine A110, de best ! Made in France. 👍❤🇫🇷🇫🇷
Dude, your vids are amazing. The cinematography is very well done. Looking forward to seeing the up coming Cayman vids
Genuine enjoyment in this thing, one of those cars you just need to go and try yourself. Next video will be finally going for the first drive in my new Porsche!
Hello, wich tyre are used on the car, snow tires or normal tires?
@@georgendya6247 Snow!
The Alpine is more interesting than any Porsche. The 911 still looks like a flattened KdF car aka Beetle.
We need more cars like the Alpine, GT86/BRZ. Small lightweight sports cars. Even a new compact Ford Escort Cosworth would be great.
The cars of today are built way too big, heavy and full of electronic shit.
Proof that you dont need big ass V12 behind you to have fun in a car. Nice video Luke
Absolutely man 👌🏻 and thanks!
The scenery and the snow is incredible.
Had to rewatch at 2:38 because the shot/music composition was so incredible! You're a real artist/craftsmen with a sharp eye! Thanks Luke!
Tant d'efforts ont été mis dans cette voiture ! Vraiment heureux et fier qu'elle plaise, elle a été faite pour ça, surtout dans sa conduite et son look ! Chaque propriétaire et conducteur doit y trouver ce qu'elle représente, le plaisir de conduire et de s'amuser à son bord ! Enjoy with this french car ! 😁✌
Yeiiiii Alpine A110!! Was waiting for this, usually don't use YT notification :)
Glad it was enjoyed ;-) I myself didn't think I would end up liking it this much
I always enjoy the wonderful video production from this channel. The car's color in contrast to the snow looks stunning as well.
You're one the best car reviewers on youtube. Such a genuine personality and funny. Your filming is beautiful also. Keep up the great work Luke.
Your video was a a highlight of my Sunday. The different edits you make are a nice way the cars stand out. The cars become much cooler with your editing skills. Switzerland is a beautiful place as well. I'm excited to go there! Lastly, the cars door panels remind of the Divo because of the color and the French flag.
If you think the current A110 is a small car, you should try getting into an original one!
I saw one recently, couldn’t believe how small it was
love it..looks much better than new Supra
Here before the fame and we will stay with u during the fame!😍
You are absolutely killing it, Luke! Keep it up, I'm loving your content
Happy to hear it 😄
Top notch video as always Luke. Love your colour grades during the montages!
Nostalgia... when a RUclips video filmed, hosted and produced by ONE person reminds you of the glory days of Top Gear UK ;) Yet another fantastic video mate! As for the car, would you prefer this or a Renault Meganne RS280?
Love the effort you put into editing your videos Luke. You're the benjamin ortega of the car world!
Gerard Brown Yup. Snowflakes to the bass beat !
Great video Luke the filming is “world class” 👍🏻😎
great video & driving. Which model of tyres do you use in winter on the Alpine ? I wouldn't have the courage to go out with mine.
Your B-roll is the best on youtube, stunning!!
What a great video! This is definitely one of the best car channels there are out there :)
Thanks dude 😄🤟🏻

Very cool! And yeah the more you drive it the more fun I felt it became, love the reactions it gets also, so unique.
Your edits are truly amazing Luke. Congrats !
Happy to hear :-)
Amazing video, and some lovely cinematics as well. Great job, great car too!
Interesting to see how your content has evolved but a lot of your signatures are very evident….would love you to revisit the Alpine A110 given all the points of comparison that you now have 😊
We need more sub-1200kg sports cars.
Amazing filming and editing that get better with every video.
But...that weather !!!
I live in the Algarve, so i wouldn't even step outside with that amount of snow, let alone drive ! 😂
Snow = love
Love the Alpine!
Intro is 🔥 🔥 🔥
Newer sub because I found your quality of videos very impressive. Definitely did not disappoint with this upload, good luck to you man.
Fluicidical Much appreciated man
Which drone do you use by the way Luke? I was checking other videos, i thought you mentioned it once along with the music and other link you add but I can't find it. Is that DJI Mavic?
Great production skills as always plus v nice car
Thanks man and yeah really enjoyed this little thing, many smiles!
Luke so how do you compare this A110 to your Cayman because that's the million dollar question, all the journalist are saying its as good. In the driving perspective....

Alan Hunt, lol, seriousely ... this Alpine has so little to do with Renault. Probably as much or even less than Bugatti with Volkswagen. Yeah, the new Volkswagen Chiron. That sounds about right when I read you. lol
Oh, you probably have not driven one yet.
Renault make quite good sportscars, like the Megane RS, but frankly, this car was developped with a completely different Spirit.
Definitely different than a Renault.
Coming to the price, the 718 is no where near the A110. 718 is at least 10k EUR more expensive if you take the minimal options. If you talk about reselling a Porsche, there are quite a list of options you simply have to take because otherwise you will not resell it.

Great video. is the A110 you tested awd or normal?
Damn I miss Switzerland! Best six months of my life.
Great video, your work just gets better and better! 🔥🔥🔥
I think you are the best RUclips car video maker out there
Thanks man 😄🤟🏻
Amazing classy car and another great video👍
Hey mate do you mind shariung the LUT you use to grade your videos ?
Proof that you don't have to judge something whitout testing it first !
Dope chanel Luke. Awesome work. Can i ask y something? What y use to stady camera on front side, to ure self? What kind ? Thanks.
👍🏼👍🏼🔥 cool car, also the video image is great
Well done Luke!
Thanks Frank!
Closing in on 100K subs!, another nice vid!
2:50 that edit was amazing
Modern classic I reckon. Thanks for the vid.
Remember the old days at Monte Carlo rally. It was like this. Suspension for real life. Performance for real life and even bucket seats for real life. Still weighs about same as 4C or lotus which are not for real world conditions.
Nice video Luke! You are so lucky to be able to drive a car like that for a few weeks. I don't know if we will ever see one of those in North America let alone be able to drive one. Lucky Luke!
Michael Taylor Thanks mate, seen a few comments now about you guys not having them, such a brilliant thing!
@@carswithluke Like I said, Lucky Luke! Have fun over there with your great cars.
Luke, the specs sound like it could be the ultimate mountain track weapon! Does it have rear wheel drive? If yes, I will love it even before driving it!
Yep its rear wheel drive and for sure would be a blast on a pass!
The original Alpine A110 was designed to be a rally car. Not a surprise it is such a hoon as well.
Great Video Luke! Love it that you tried it on snowy roads. So great.
Did you try without track control just for fun ? Guess TC has to be ...
Also, you seemed to have enjoyed the Alpine, like most of the ones that tested it. You still prefered to buy a 718...ok, realized it's a GTS.
Still, can you tell us more about what drove your choice ?
Thnks
Holubar X Alpine = perfect match!
your video editing skills are A1
Thank you for the video! I Simply love this car! I just hope the other manufacturers making cars with the same filosophy...mid engine.. lightweight and not so much expencive
Unfortunately I assume it's more like now and never again with the EV hype.
great Video greets from zürich✌🏻
Awesome vid Luke 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Cheers 🤟🏻

You absolute hero
adorable video as always! 😁
Aaah, brilliant! :)
I love the philosophy that went into the development of this car... Simplify and remove weight.
If only it came with a manual gearbox.
Saaaweeeet!
Well done Luke...keep them coming.
Haha thanks man, finally get to film my car next ;-)
Hey man great job as always. Such a beautiful mixture of car and scenery.
Did the car have winter tires on? I was wondering the same about all your snowy videos actually.
Thanks and yeah for sure always with winter tires, it's a must here in Switzerland during winter months otherwise videos would be mainly of me just stuck on hills ;-)
I loved it when I tested it.
Great video, as always ! :)
Mario Frigge Thanks man 🤟🏻
One of my biggest dreams is to drive around the mountains in switzerland with a nice car!
Hello Luke? Great video but how was it sideways? LSD or not?
Daniel Niefergold Sideways was incredible, 1100kg and rwd so makes for so much fun and very easy to drive/slide
Always wondered how the alpine manage snow. Does it, being a rear wheel drive car make it a bit doll on snow, or does it actually have good traction compared to popular "snow" cars?
The tires are crucial, the recommended Michelin Alpine 5 are perfectly fine on snow, but they cannot replace all-wheel drive, which is necessary on gradients or in particularly muddy conditions.
Like before I watch
Interesting does it fit EZ20 / EZ25?) Or 3A-GTE?
Awesome work Luke. Didn’t know you were a stuntman as well. Lol
Maybe I am just ignorant.. but what is the great fascination with that car? The frontend looks weird the rear okay-ish.. thx to the 4 cyl it sounds horrible... plz help me understand :)
I honestly always said the same, it's almost hard to put my finger on it but it was that much fun to drive and maybe the factor of driving something so different to the rest adds it the excitement. I think no matter all the reviews you will only know how fun it is and how nice to drive it is once you try it yourself on a twisty road.
The weather doesn't help, you need to try it at summer time!
I've seen it today on the ice track in valthorens, this same color, amazing car
Very cool, I worked in VT many years ago and remember that track well
0:02 to 0:53 > Forza Horizon vibes!!!
Such a cool car and cool video!
What camera do you use may I ask? I'm sure you've answered this many times but if someone could weigh in on this I'd really appreciate that : D
Sony a7rii ;-)
Were did the team overkill vid go. It was by far the best one.
It's still up on the channel
Another great installment. Wish you could make these a little longer and post more often, but I know it's easier said than done!
But would love to test drive one of these little beauties. It's depressing how safety regulations are making cars more and more heavy (which I understand is a necessary evil).

Bin an der auto zürich drin gesessen. Das Gefühl war richtig gut. Wenn er noch so läuft dann ist alles bestens 😁
Which tires were you on, please??
Great video 💪😉 beautiful car
Cheers :-)
Jealous of you lol!!! Would love to drive this one and the original
I don't think this car only appears to people who were around when the old alpine was successfull.
I am old, but not quite old enough for that. A "light" car with a good power to weight ratio made for fun driving i find interesting.
And as i don't fit (lenghtwise) in a Mazda MX5/Miata or an Alfa 4C the Alpine sounds interesting. What slightly puts me off is the absolute lack of storage in the interior, the fixed paddles and the lack of luggage space. (just look up how a spare wheel sould be carried).
About the video, i'm kind of new to this channel, but the volume difference between the music and your talk makes it harder to watch. (I'm no fan of the music and as it is way louder than your voice this means i have to constantly have my fingers on the volume control.)
+1 Mazda MX5/Miata definitely in the same spirit. Love it too. Light and so easy to understand.
I am 1m90, and it fits me very well, try it... But be ready, I sold immediately my GT3 for getting it... Still 4 months to wait....
Luke, what a jacket it is?
Love it!
More than enough power for the open roads.
Very much so, especially in Switzerland
I'm going to go test drive one at the Alpine center Zurich, This or a Audi TT for me
I was at the same decision. I bought the Apline A110 in white 😊 Such a beautiful car. It feels a little bit lighter than the TT an more real. TT is more smooth.
Love all your videos bro! Ciao by Jekketto
Winter tyres ?
8:00 it looked like he wasn’t moving 😂😂😂
but he is moving
mohamed Bassiouni Haha I thought the same! Was on a bridge and the background was just really far away 😂
Love your videos man keep it up ❤️ ✌🏻
good smile / gallon ratio 🤙
Azap,
I loved that too, and that's such a relatable statement. Everyone wants to aspire to a car with a good smile per gallon ratio, it just sounds FUN; this car certainly looks the part. That's one of the reasons Luke's videos are so watchable, his whitty banter, the others are numerous, and not to mention every video he makes is ultra beautiful, I love his cinematography.
Thanks for sharing,
Matt
Patrice Azap Bang on mate, its crazy how attached I became to the car by the end of the week
Great video, as always, but should have shown the car better. Details, interior and etc...
What Lotus should be building!
Totally agree! Something thats a bit more useable in the real world but at that price
Great video. Can you post up your kit? Quality is very good. The lack of fake smiles/laughs/use of dads money/Lamborghinis/wraps/cheese and other stupid crap in your videos is a revelation. Keep up the good work Luke.
How do you go about getting cars to review
Cant wait to see your new car in action... do you have wintertires?
Chris Pfuhl Can’t wait to drive in film it! And yeah winter tires or I wont be going anywhere in Switzerland :-) will have them fitted this week ready for the first drive
