An insistent rumor echoes the acquisition by the National Gendarmerie of a squadron of 36 Alpine A110s. We take stock of the issue.
Alpine A110: the Gendarmerie would have ordered 36 copies – Turning his back on the Seat Leon Cupra, originally planned for to furnish the rapid intervention brigades, the French Gendarmerie would have signed for the delivery of three dozen Alpine A110, including two unmarked models, according to the Lesalpinistes blog, very advanced on the subject.
Replace the Mégane RS
Reaching the end of their life, the Renault Mégane RS Gendarmerie which currently crisscross our highways will soon take over. Last year, we learned that the French state had succeeded in breaking the contract which linked it to the Volkswagen group to obtain several dozen Seat Leon Cupra. But in the end, only 17 copies of the compact 300 hp will have finally been delivered to the police. According to the official voice, the CO2 emissions of the beautiful Spanish were too high.
Far from being practical
We are therefore surprised to learn that the Gendarmerie would have finally set its sights on the Berlinette from Dieppe which, with the exception of its performances, struggles to brilliantly meet the specifications imposed by its users. Notably because it can only accommodate two passengers, but also in view of its low development possibilities.
36 x 58 000 ?
It remains to be seen which model the Gendarmerie has turned to. We can bet that she will have opted, for the sake of economy, for the 252 hp version, and not for the A110 S of 292 hp. For your information, the entry level already amounts to € 58,000, but it is certain that the Renault group will have granted a nice discount for this group purchase. If the information is verified, in the coming weeks, the Gendarmerie will not fail to communicate officially on this subject, to look after its image.
