Last year, Renault (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/renault/) created the Alpine A110-50 Concept (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/alpine+a110-50/) to mark the 50th anniversary of the original Renault A110 (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/alpine+a110/), but we had to wait until this year's Shanghai Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/shanghai-motor-show/) to see the stunning concept in person. First introduced in 1961, the A110 became a dominating force in the rally car circuit in the early 1970s, and the A110-50 Concept shows what a future version of the car could be - although there's still no official word if Renault plans to ever bring this car to production.

As a refresher, this concept pays homage to the classic A110 with its Alpine Blue paint job and hood-mounted foglights, but its wavy rear wing, scissor doors and curvaceous carbon fiber body are all modern cues. This concept gets its power from a mid-mounted 3.5-liter V6 producing 400 horsepower, which is controlled through a six-speed, dual-clutch gearbox. For more information on this concept (including a digital video of the car in motion) head on over to our previous post (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/05/25/renault-alpine-a110-50-concept-does-its-papa-proud/) of the car from last year.Renault Alpine A110-50 Concept makes fast friends at Shanghai show (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/04/20/renault-alpine-a110-50-concept-shanghai-2013/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Sat, 20 Apr 2013 17:01:00 EST.
