You Don't Drive An Alpine A110, You Wear It
hy
what a amazing Alpine A110 ever for driving.SportOcean
I don’t drive it, but I was (few time ago) instead of the passenger, on one of the oval Michelin’s test track in the southeast of France. ^^ In the 1600s, one of the civilian version of this which was the 1st car FIA World Champion of Rallye in 1973, and ranks 1 and 2 and 3 (the whole podium!) won by Alpine and its Berlinette to remember, a thing never see after in the WRC –> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXj8WiS2GTA
Well …. its a bit overly dramatic [ ok a whole lot ] .. the music .. though reasonably appropriate is verging on inane woo woo fluff …
… but hey … its an Alpine video .. about one of Jurgen’s Alpine’s … and in this moment of potential abject stupidity here in the US …. its a welcome distraction despite the criticism
My one most definite criticism though in spite of all I’ve said ? Its to damn short !!!
Actually as decent as this film is … in comparison to their L’art Novo Bugatti video this one doesn’t even come close . As for the music .. might I suggest sticking to that which you know . Inane woo woo overly synthesized dreck not worthy of an adolescent recoding in his/her bedroom would be the more accurate and appropriate description
Beautifully presented, although I do wish there were a few static views of the A110. Also I would add that this stunning little beast is another of Giovanni Michelotti’s masterpieces. The French assign credit to Jean Redele but it was, in fact, Michelotti’s creation. As an aside, Michelotti’s son, Edgardo Michelotti has stated that his Father was never paid for his design of the A110.
Seriously Mr Zabrammy . Check out their video on L’Art Novo garage . That … is well beyond the grasp of this one . That one verging on ‘ Art ‘ . This one attempting to be overly dramatic in the vain and futile pursuit of an artistic vision lost in translation . Don’t get me wrong now … this one’s decent . The car and owner lane guarantee that . But one of their best ? Not even close
