The Formula One driver got behind the wheel of the Alpine A110-50 concept and, of course, since he drove this, he also played with the original Alpine A110. In addition to that, Kimmi also put a production vehicle through its paces during the session - the Megane RS, with the car being dressed in Lotus F1 colors.

Renault hasn't published any details on the test drive session, but we could expect Kimi to be involved in the development of the Alpine A110-50's future production version. The original Berlinette could've been included in order for Kimi to feel its spirit, while the RS is just an example of extra-sharp handling, albeit in a front-wheel drive form.
