Alpine top track toy
The Alpine A110 Premiere Edition has been crowned 2019’s Track-day Toy of the Year by leading luxury title Robb Report Australia & New Zealand.
The magazine’s car of the year awards brought together nine category-leading vehicles – collectively worth about $3 million – in contention for the ultimate title.
Judged over two days on roads winding through New South Wales, each entrant was profiled and evaluated for its performance.
On the A110, editor-in-chief Michael Stahl says: “It’s the complete Alpine package. It enthralled our judges, from those who showed wide-eyed surprise at its stirring acceleration and hard-edged exhaust rasp, to super-car owners who relished the fantastic agility of a mid-engined chassis with the welcoming ‘chuckability’ of a high-powered hatchback.”
The full list of category winners in the Robb Report Australia & New Zealand 2019 Car of the Year are Trackday Toy – Alpine A110; car of the year – Ferrari 812 Superfast; sports GT – Aston Martin Vantage; sports sedan – Audi A7 Sportback 55 TFSI; luxury grand touring coupe – BMW M850i xDrive Coupe; GT super-car: Ferrari 812 Superfast; super SUV – Lamborghini Urus; hybrid limousine – Lexus LS 500h; mid-engine supercar – McLaren 600LT; Luxury SUV – Porsche Cayenne Turbo.
