# Listen To The Alpine A110 For The Next 16 Minutes

Debuted at Geneva earlier this year, the [newly revived Alpine A110](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/7961/alpine-releases-official-images-of-a110-ahead-of-geneva>) is set to represent France in the battle for expensive-ish, mid-engined sports car supremacy against neighboring European entries such as [Porsche's mighty 718 Cayman](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/3170/porsche-718-cayman-is-your-new-turbocharged-tin-top-sports-car>) and the sultry [Alfa Romeo 4C](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/6212/the-alfa-romeo-4c-is-the-ultimate-drivers-car-for-the-fall-season>). Featuring a design and engineering goal similar to that of the [OG A110](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpine_A110>) from years past, the new A110 represents a long-awaited return to the production car game for the French sports car maker. A lot riding on its handsomely retro shoulders, then.

Now, we get a taste of what Alpine's new coupe will sound like. Actually, it's a bit more than just a taste. Try sixteen minutes of righteously sonorous four-cylinder music, thanks to French YouTube channel [Alpine Planet](<https://youtu.be/XmbEKw7Vv34>). Put a hold on that podcast and pause your Spotifies 'cause you're gonna wanna hear this.

The Alpine A110 will be powered by a turbocharged 1.8-liter four-pot (mounted in the middle of the car) producing 250 hp, 236 lb-ft of torque, and a proper racket, as we've now learned.

Now for the bad news: this car won't be coming to the US, Alpine tells [*LeftLane News*](<https://www.leftlanenews.com/alpine-wont-sell-a110-coupe-in-the-us-94908.html>). Yes, the A110 will be another one of those cars the majority of *The Drive*'s readers will be stuck merely reading and watching videos about—not because of finances, but geography.

A good pair of headphones and the above video on a loop will have to do for now, I guess.
