Tamiya 24278 - 1/24 Alpine Renault A110 Monte-Carlo 1971  [24278]

Towards Alpine A110

The Alpine was created by Jean Redele, who initially raced because of the Renault 4CV. He quickly noticed the limits of its heavy body, and chose to replace it together with own design made of FRP. Redele drove a modified 4CV, dubbed the Alpine, to success into the Mille Miglia road race in 1955, and continued to build up brand new versions considering Renault automobiles. The Alpine A110 was launched in 1963, and ended up being based on the Renault 8. It had a 956cc 4-cylinder engine at backside and lightweight body shell manufactured from FRP. Front suspension system showcased the separate dual wishbone type, although the back used swing hands. The A110 proved its ability by dominating road races held through the entire belated 60's and very early 70's, with its winnings at the 1971 Monte Carlo Rally undoubtedly crowning the pinnacle of its profession. With its effective record and gorgeous design, the Alpine A110 is adored by engine recreations fans around the world.
