Alpine A110 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1961–1977) — First Generation
The Alpine A110 First Generation is a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive sports coupe. Known for agile handling, it pairs modest yet responsive gasoline engines with manual transmissions, in a design focused on pure driving enjoyment.
The Alpine A110 engine range focuses on responsiveness rather than outright power. The 1.1 MT and 1.7 MT configurations, both paired with a manual gearbox, send drive to the rear wheels. This setup gives a direct, engaging feel that suits the car's lightweight character. Each engine offers a different balance of performance and usability, from the accessible 1.1 to the more potent 1.7.
