Re: A110 non-French speaking thread

The idea is a good one, regretably, whereas Porsche provides track days for owners and potential owners at a Porsche Experience Centre in PORSCHE owned cars completely at PORSCHE expense - including a nice breakfast and lunch - Alpine requires owners to PAY for their experience in their own cars. Of course if the cost of ownership - including the cost of spares and servicing - was considerably less for an Alpine, then many current Porsche owners might forego the "fringe" benefits, which include Porsche courtesy car and sumptuous showrooms with genuinely good coffee.

As someone who thinks the A110 is an absolutely terrific car (I pick mine up next week) , it disappoints greatly that the "buying experience" that Porsche provides is far superior.

If Alpine want to charge Porsche prices (which they are) - they need to provide a "buying experience" which matches Porsche.

I hope that readers of this post ARE English speakers - Google seems to make it incomprehensible when translated into French

Re: A110 non-French speaking thread

In France at least, Porsche sponsored track days are not free at all, rather they come up at quite a hefty expense...Last time I checked though, Piste Bleue events are more or less within the same price bracket.
The only thing that is provided "free" with Porsche over here, is when you order a brand new car, like I did with my 2015 Spyder, they treat you to their PEC center to try the safety features of the same model you ordered on their own and specially designed track (low friction skid pads and all..).
And yes, there's a free lunch thrown in for good measure, although not an unforgettable one...

Rescue card

Pls find attached the official Alpine A110 rescue card (instructions for rescue workers in case of an emergency), which might also provide some useful technical details of the A 110 (unfortunately available in German language only):

Since the file is too large to upload here is the link:

No. I became aware of these rescue sheets through ADAC (German automotive association) and put it into google to find the one for Alpine.

For black colour lovers... A110 beautifully shot in a town setting (photo + video link). Interesting to notice also that in the UK black colour has been requested by ~12% of new owners (vs.< 5% as I recall for the rest of Europe)
