Alpine is expected to launch its latest sports car in the upcoming Geneva Motor Show this March. Prior to its debut, the reborn French automaker has released more teasers to excite car enthusiasts.
The new sports car from Alpine is expected to be called A120. This new flagship is coming out with outstanding aerodynamics.
An Alpine spokesperson discussed further this outstanding aerodynamics. It was mentioned that the new design takes into much consideration the air flow as a key factor in the performance and efficiency aspects of the new sports car. The staff explained that the latest sports car will feature two main components, such as the new flat floor and rear diffuser.
The flat floor is a technique which stemmed from the technology of high-level motor racing. Whereas, the rear diffuser, which is placed under the rear bumper, will enable significant downforce and outstanding stability. The combination of these two new components will make the new A120 to have the outstanding aerodynamics, AutoCar has noted.
The two new components also meant the new sports car no longer need a rear spoiler. This also resulted to sporting a similar sleek design of the original A110.
