Now here’s an interesting photo

Don’t believe we’ve ever seen these two side-by-side before: a 911 and what’s often referred to as its French counterpart, the Renault Alpine A110— take a rear-engine, rear wheel-driven sports car that’s pretty small, make it even smaller (and a lot lighter), and give it a Gallic twist. Not the best color for this car, but we’ll take it.

A quick look at the specs (approx.):

911

Wheelbase: 87-89 in
Length: 169 in
Width: 65 in
Height: 52 in
Curb weight: 2315 lb

A110:

Wheelbase: 89 in
Length: 159 in
Width: 59 in
Height: 44 in
Curb weight: 1777 lb

More A110 badassery here.

Not many cars can make an early 911 look big.

- the A110 is not just a little bit smaller—it is quite a bit smaller actually….this picture actually is making it look bigger, from perspective……the A110 is also a much cooler car—and not many cars can look ‘much cooler’ than an early 911—then again, the A110 is the greatest car ever made!
