If you were planning on taking a snack break, then you have come to the right place, because you might want to consider spending the next 8+ minutes watching the Alpine A110S being driven hard on the Nurburgring.
Filmed from the cockpit just a few days ago during a tourist session, the video shows the French sports car overtaking quite a few much more powerful vehicles and breathing down the neck of others, with the driver showing some amazing skills.
The A110S can handle not only corners, but long straights as well, with the 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) acceleration taking 4.4 seconds, or almost one second quicker than the Porsche 718 Cayman T. It will run out of breath at 162 mph (260 km/h), 9 mph (14 km/h) less than its German rival which is 8 HP (8 PS / 6 kW) and 44 lb-ft (60 Nm) of torque more powerful.

The New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN NCAP) has officially awarded the new 2016 Proton Persona with a five-star safety rating, which made its official launch debut today.
In the Adult Occupant Protection test, the Persona managed to obtain a score 14.07 points out of a possible 16 points, enabling it to secure a five-star rating. As for Child Occupant Protection, the sedan achieved an 82% compliance score as well. These are the exact same scores obtained by the Iriz.
