**Alpina: A Car that Embody's the Spirit of Alpine Adventure**

As I stood next to the Alpina, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. The car's powerful 1.8 litre turbocharged engine with 250 horsepower and 320 Newton meters of torque seemed almost modest in comparison to its 1,100 kilogram weight. Yet, this was an Alpina, a car that embodied the spirit of adventure and exploration. I had to test it in the harsh conditions of the alpine terrain to see just how good it would perform.

**A Full-Weather Test**

I decided to put the Alpina through its paces on a cold winter's day, with snow falling heavily from the sky. The car was set up in full weather mode, ready to tackle the toughest conditions. As I took off, I felt a surge of adrenaline coursing through my veins. The power and responsiveness of the engine were exhilarating, and I was eager to see how well the car would handle the slippery roads. With each turn, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and joy.

**Inside the Car: A Comfortable Retreat**

Once I had warmed up on the road, I decided to take the Alpina inside for some tests. The interior was comfortable and inviting, with beautiful bucket seats that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing. I have to say, these seats are one of my favorite features of the car - they're incredibly comfortable, which is a rare feat in this sector. As I settled into the driving position, I felt a sense of peace and contentment wash over me. The driving position was spot on, with plenty of room to maneuver and no distractions to take away from the driving experience.

**Nostalgia Strikes**

As I put the Alpina through its paces, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia wash over me. This car is a nod to the past, a tribute to the original Alpena that was first launched many years ago. For those who grew up with this brand, it's likely to evoke memories and emotions that are hard to put into words. It's a reminder of a time when driving was more about excitement and adventure than just pure performance.

**A Driver's Car**

One thing that sets the Alpina apart from other sports cars is its focus on driving. This car is not designed to be luxurious or comfortable, but rather to provide a thrilling driving experience. The steering is precise and responsive, with plenty of feedback to keep you engaged and entertained. I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction as I navigated the winding roads, feeling like I was in complete control.

**A Car that Makes You Smile**

Despite having some minor issues with the on-board computer, which felt a bit outdated and slow, I have to say that I'm thoroughly impressed with the Alpina. It's a car that makes you smile, even on a cold winter's day. The power and responsiveness of the engine are addictive, and I found myself grinning from ear to ear as I took the Alpina out for a spin.

**Standstill to 80mph: A Quick Run**

As I finished my tests, I decided to put the Alpina through its paces one final time. With the pedal to the metal, I accelerated from standstill to 80mph in a blistering 7 seconds - not bad at all! The gearbox was smooth and responsive, with plenty of power on tap to keep me moving. It's clear that this car is designed for driving enthusiasts who crave excitement and performance.

**A Verdict: A 10/10 Car**

As I brought the Alpina to a stop, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and contentment. This car has exceeded my expectations in every way, from its incredible power and responsiveness to its comfortable and inviting interior. The only minor issues I have are with the on-board computer, which feels a bit outdated and slow. But overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with this car - it's a true driver's car that will put a smile on your face every time you get behind the wheel.

**Conclusion**

As I walked away from my test drive in the Alpina, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for the road ahead. This car is a real gem, a car that embodies the spirit of adventure and exploration. Whether you're a seasoned driver or just looking for a fun and thrilling driving experience, this car is sure to put a smile on your face every time you get behind the wheel.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enSulli summer and welcome up into the Alps where I'm with the Alpena I've been waiting to drive this car for quite some time so I've got this car from the brand-new Alpine Center in Zurich it's basically an add-on to the Renault garage in Zurich and it's a supercool showroom and they suggest that I take out the new Alpine to try for a couple of weeks because I think that they thought that I probably didn't appreciate or understand how good this car is and to be honest they were completely right my first impression when I first sat in the car I wasn't blown away now it's been 10 days with car and every day I've been driving it I've enjoyed it more and more every single day and now by the end of my two weeks nearly I'm gonna be super sad to give it back yeah it is snowing quite a bit as you can see at the moment but I do believe in Switzerland and that is part of living in Switzerland you had to be prepared to be outside in the elements but anyway back to the car I have put a link to the Alpine centre zurich below so if you don't know which you probably do but I'm going to tell you anyway the Alpina is powered by a 1.8 litre turbocharged engine with a massive 250 horsepower and 320 Newton meters of torque now no that doesn't sound like much but bear in mind this weighs 1,100 kilograms which is nothing after all is called an Alpina and I'm testing that name by bringing it deep into the outfits of the day but anyway before my ears fall off let's jump inside you my world of make-believe kids screaming the creators profanities I see the ice cus the ones are my car so much quick turn around to get back up snow is coming down now even harder but I love that out inside the elements not in sport mode that's not good in the Alpine this is a full weather test today with this car really testing how good it is for its name can it stand through alpine conditions happy bird trying not to slide too much on the corner in one sense this is not ideal car testing conditions but on another side it also really is because I want to find out just how good this is in these conditions and it also just looks super cool outside love being in the mountains in the winter fruits flat down no power traction control is stopping me from pretty much doing anything come a little car oh there we go so what if I not particularly liked about this car there's definitely nothing that I've hated one or two things if I'm being picky if I really have to find something the on-board computer just feels really old and it's a bit slow it's just a bit outdated but you know this car is a driver's car it was made for driving it's not made to be luxurious or anything like that what else don't I like well the luggage space is just big big issue really otherwise I pretty much I think like everything about this car what I do really like about it is these seats not only do they look incredible they I mean they really are beautiful bucket seats they're super comfy and that's very rare that that can happen to have such beautiful looking bucket seats but to be so comfortable I think these are probably some of the most comfortable bucket seats I've ever saturd and as most of you have probably thought this is a tiny car when you CL when you see my picture on Instagram when I'm standing next to it it really looks military for what's very surprising is inside you really have that feeling legroom in here is really really good the driving position is bang-on in this definitely a driver focused car I'm not going anywhere fast up here today but is it fun yes definitely definitely fun do you know what word springs to mind when I think about this car and after my last week and that is nostalgia and if you don't know what nostalgia means I'm now gonna tell you what the exact definition to that word nostalgia is a sentimentality for the past typically for a period or place with happy personal associations I think the people that this car mainly posed to at the moment is the old generation that were around when the original alkene was out and for them when they see it they do become nostalgic but I now have huge amounts of respect for it again it's just such a brilliant car Andre I don't intervene minnetonka segunda on shunderson it really does feel quite quick with a low center of gravity and a way to the car it just makes for a perfect recipe for having so much fun and it is actually extremely Daley's it's so easy to drive not tiring it alone I cannot stress enough again about how comfortable these seats are you could drive this every day no problem which with a lot of other sports sports cars like a lotus or the Alfa 4c you just couldn't so to finish off today's weather even if there is one or two little things that maybe I'm not completely happy with in it it doesn't affect how much that I've liked this car and it really gets a 10 out of 10 for me it's just a fantastic car that makes you smile all the time I had many smiles per gallon and I also did it in such comfort in here stand still zero to 80 to finish up today so you will see what yourself there we go it's pretty quick really just get out there and try one if you can through genuine smiles I promise you this is what this card does you make you smile the gearbox I think works super good and honestly I feel that it suits the car I know there's going to be some people saying you should have been with the manual but I really feel like the gearbox suits the car but thanks again for watching give it a thumbs up if you've enjoyed it
