The Alpine A110-50 is a concept racing car created by Renault to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1962 Alpine A110〔. 〕 It debuted at Monaco’s GP circuit, where Renault Chief Operating Officer Carlos Tavares raced the A110-50 for four laps of the Monaco track.〔 〕 The Alpine A110-50 has all carbonfibre bodywork, a mid-engine layout, and tubular frame.〔〔 It is built upon the same platform and shares its mechanicals with the Sport Mégane Trophy race car.〔〔〔〔 〕〔 〕 Because the A110-50’s height is lower than that of Mégane Trophy, the roll cage and bracing in the engine bay were lowered in the workshop of Tork Engineering.〔 The entire car weighs a mere 1940 pounds, and its weight distribution is 47.8 percent front and 52.2 percent rear.〔 〕 With a naturally aspirated 395-hp variation of the Mégane Trophy’s 3.5-liter V6 based on the Nissan VQ engine,〔 it has a 456bhp/ton power-to-weight ratio.〔 〕 The inlet manifold is fed by a new roof-mounted air intake which broadens the engine’s power band, with additional horsepower at all engine speeds.〔 A110-50's front splitter and rear diffuser generate ground effect, and account for a third of the car’s downforce, while the other two-thirds comes from the rear wing.〔〔 The body can be raised with integrated pneumatic jacks for easier servicing.〔〔 The steering wheel features a color screen and employs the same technology as a Formula Renault 3.5 single-seat race car.〔 The A110-50 has highly adjustable double wishbone suspension with Sachs dampers.〔〔 It utilises a six-speed semi-automatic sequential gearbox, which slots longitudinally behind the engine and incorporates a mechanical limited-slip differential.〔〔 Designer Yann Jarsalle and Concept and Show Car Director Axel Breun based the A110-50 on the same design language introduced with the DEZIR concept car,〔 but incorporated several design cues from the original A110, These include: half-domed additional headlights with yellow tinted LED lighting; air intakes on each side echo the ducts on the rear wheel arches of the Berlinette; and painting the body in a modern version of the signature Alpine blue.〔〔 〕 The aerodynamic body was designed using a process called computational fluid dynamics.〔 ==See also== * Alpine A110 * Renault DeZir * Mégane Renault Sport * Nissan VQ engine 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alpine A110-50」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
