 More than 200 hp of brute force. MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR right side 2020 MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RRMV Agusta The MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR is a high-speed winglet-equipped naked bike that is, according to our test rider, “equally at home blasting at no-prisoners speed on the highway, carving good lean angles on a twisty back road, or even cruising downtown, where its agility pays unexpected dividends.” The Bosch 9 Plus ABS ECU offers a race mode to the Brembo Stylema brakes, while digitally managed Öhlins suspension work on maintaining stability at speeds and confident flicking on curvaceous back roads. A 998cc engine powers the beast for a claimed 208 hp at 13,000 rpm and 86 pound-feet at 11,000 rpm. The 5-inch TFT dash keeps the rider connected to the ride with navigation, four ride modes, active cruise control, and eight traction control settings. With a premium price of 29,990 euros (about $36,300) you better bet this machine has the componentry and power to deliver white-knuckle

    MV Agusta Superveloce Alpine Announced Alpine is a French sports car marque that was founded in 1955 and developed ultra-compact early models powered by Renault engines displacing no more than 1 liter. They proved good enough to dare challenge the best of the world in the classic Nürburgring 1,000 Km; Alpine won in 1963. In 1974, Alpine enlarged the Renault engine to 1.6 liters, creating the legendary and final version of the A110, a car capable of incredible performance despite its small engine thanks to extremely light weight and a highly aerodynamic profile. In 1971, the A110 won the Monte Carlo Rally and became a legend. But businesswise, the gallant little make was declining. In 1978, Alpine was acquired by Renault, and from then on it was relegated to producing high-performance versions of Renault models. Finally, in 2016 Renault revitalized Alpine to its original vocation and in 2017 introduced the new A110, powered by a turbocharged Renault 1.8-liter engine good for 252 hp.
