The Premium version of the Alpine A110.

 

[danbojte]

The Premium version of the Alpine A110.

Thank you, Niku. 👍 By the way, how do you know?

 

[Greycap]

The link banner on the first page has the model year on it, that's quite a clue. Don't ask me why it isn't in the post itself because that's not up to me - I made the banner though.

'Cause I know my cars really well. And also because there aren't many premium Alpines in the game to begin with. But as @Greycap said, the first page banner will help you with your name woes.

Aaa, your cars? I thought it's Leonidas... And is it written anywhere that it is Premium?!

I say "my cars" as in the cars I really like. As for the Premium question, just take a good look at the pictures. See the clear windows and the steering wheel? You know, the cockpit that, in most of the Standard cars, looks like a portable black hole with no detail whatsoever? That's how you distinguish. The more you know!

Oh, I see. Thank you, Sir. 👍

Ich werde Ihnen ein Setup zu senden für den BMW 135i , sobald Sie ausprobiert und überprüft haben eines meiner Autos und veröffentlicht es in diesem Thread. Vielen Dank im Voraus.

It IS my car. And since there's only one another Alpine in the game, and it's not premium nor as pretty as this one, I thought it would be obvious.. But apparently not.

There are two other standards. I didn't knew the window catch. :blush: Finally, I understood. 👍

It started off as cheap and simple response from Mitsubishi to Ford Escort RS models: Cheap, light, RWD and tailhappy. Fortunately I can confirm that they succeeded, and while the GSR model was no slouch, this slightly tweaked 1600RS is even better. It will do well in both grip and drift driving, but going sideways feels more natural in this little beastie. You can initiate the drift with lifting off, braking or even just by steering as long as the weight shift is managed correctly. Feel free to give this one a spin down the twisty roads and let me know what you think!

I drive it, Top tune! now the camaro...

 

[SPENCEINATOR]

The alpine have like the R32 a perfect handling, but both have not enough power on the straights... There are only 5 cars Who's faster... Elise, g-Sports concept or 106 Rallye.

Please make the BMW tunes, i would like to drive both in Lobbys with pp max. Kw and min. weight :-D

Alright, I have tunes for both cars done tomorrow.

 

[SPENCEINATOR]

I've drived the last 2 hours the Mitsubishi 1600 RS at eiger and autum Ring..., that was the biggest fun of my gt life :-)

 

[Lucas]

It's good to see you guys are still around. I'll post reviews on the Alpine, the V-Spec III, and the Shelby Cobra during the week. Knowing where they are coming from, they are probably great.

 

[Jaywalker]

Nope, but if that is what you want from me, I'm willing to try. Just PM me the desired PP etc.

Thanks mate. 👍 I'll check the required specs tonight.

 

[Greycap]

While I can only speak for the Cobra... "great" is unlikely to be the correct word but "surprisingly drivable for a Cobra" is more like it. The starting point is such a four wheeled riot that I doubt it can ever be made good by other cars' standards, with all that power it still failed to beat the cream of my 500PP creations. Then again 40 years of suspension development may play a role.

This Alpine looks like a good drive to have, that might be my next MFT review. I am curious to see how all that extra power is handled by such a small chassis. At least I don't have to blow "half a million CR", as your estmeed colleague has said, on a Cobra. Christ @Greycap, make your great cars cheap! Time to gather the money, I guess...

Ah yes, that GV on the name of the Alpine doesn't come from Grand Valley, but from French words for great speed.. Grande Vitesse.

Leo, how fancy from you, mon ami. Wasn't expecting that answer to be honest, you crafty Finn you, that just makes me even more curious to see how it turns out.

This little beauty has given quite a few bigger and more powerful cars a bloody nose in some seasonals as long as it's not taking place on a power track.

 

[danbojte]

I'm building it right now.

Ok, so I'm keeping this away from Daytona. Got it. Nevertheless, I'm quite eager to take this to Trial Mountain, it should work like a dream around there...

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Oh, it works beautifully there..

 

[Jaywalker]

Nope, but if that is what you want from me, I'm willing to try. Just PM me the desired PP etc.

Hi Leonidae. The Reventon would be 600PP on sports soft tyres.

Edit: Cool, thanks. Didn't register the PM bit.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Alright.. But next time, use the PM as I asked to avoid unnecessary clutter in the thread.

[Leonidae@MFT]

Well well.. Even back in the GT4 days this car was known for punching well above its paygrade. Good to see that it's still up to the task at hand with good driver!
