NEW A110 R: SEE YOU ON OCTOBER 4TH!

• Alpine to introduce a new A110: the new A110 R.
• A radical vision of agility designed for outright performance and breathtaking sensations on the track and on the road.
• Save the date: 4 October at 12:30 (CET) to check it out.

After the presentation of the new A110 range at the beginning of the year and a rich program with the introduction of numerous limited series, Alpine continues its ascent with the announcement of a completely new model.

The brand will unveil a radical new version of its A110 sports coupé in Japan during the Suzuka F1 Grand Prix weekend.

R FOR "RADICAL"

It is the highly anticipated version that will complete the A110 range. An extreme version. Lighter. Sharper. And even more inspired by motor racing. In a word, more "radical" to top the A110 range. The ultimate expression of lightness and performance, the new Alpine A110 R is designed for unique feelings on the racetrack while remaining road legal.

This new model will be unveiled on Tuesday, 4 October at 12.30 pm, followed by its European premiere at the Paris Motor Show 2022 from 17 October onwards.

Rumors:

• Michelin PS Cup 2 semi-slick tires.
• Exclusive Alpine F1 Racing paint.
• Lightweight carbon front wheels.
• Aerodynamic rear wheels in light carbon.
• Lightweight carbon roof.
• Lightweight carbon hood.
• Lightweight carbon engine cover.
• Lightweight carbon rear diffuser.
• Lightweight carbon track seats with 6-point racing harness.
• Well under 1100kg.
• Starting price 100 000 € + options.
• All cars are numbered with a plate.

Strange how this car, who is by essence a « rally » car, is now specs to become a track car.
I think Alpine lost the plot following journalists and YouTuber criticisms, comparing it with Porsche and trying it only on track.
This car got rave reviews when tested on road, and as the owner of one, a first edition, I can attest that the subsequent ones didn’t offer another level of driver’s commitment despite the sharp increase price.
Hope this one will do better considering the price tag.
have you heard of the hp output?

The A110 is really a great little sports car, I drove an A110 S a few months ago and since then all the cars I take are as lazy as trucks.

I have some concerns about the price but I think this radical version will be really great and a sports car under 1100kg is as rare as the Tasmanian tiger today.

Looks like this could be very good, although probably more Lotus than McLaren. My first job was working for Renault Research, so I'd like to see this be really good.

ALL-NEW A110 R: R FOR RADICAL!

This much-awaited latest version rounds out the A110 range. Extreme, light, more streamlined, and more inspired by motor sports than ever – ‘radical’ is the only way of describing the car that now sits as the crowning jewel of the A110 line-up. The ultimate expression of lightness and performance, the Alpine A110 R was designed to be sensational on the racetrack yet still certified for the open road.

The first main difference with the A110 R is seen through the extensive work put in to reducing its overall weight down to as little as 1,082kg – 34kg less than the A110 S. Its aerodynamic performance has been enhanced for greater downforce and reduced drag. For the first time ever on the A110 range, some parts (e.g. the bonnet, rear window, and diffuser) have been redesigned specifically for the new model. The exclusive improvements made to the chassis, along with the 1.8L 300HP motor, and race-car interior, feed into the heightened radical feel that make the driving experience more intense than ever before.

Taking just 3.9 seconds to go from 0-100km/h, the All-new Alpine A110 R pushes the boundaries of sports cars. Building off the brand’s commitment to motor sports, the design phase involved direct input from top-level experts and is more than ready to beat the clock when it takes to the racetrack. Made in France at the Manufacture Alpine Dieppe Jean Rédélé, this latest car marks the beginning of a new chapter for the brand’s expertise in motor sports.

Alpine A110 R Fernando Alonso Edition Is A Limited Run Special Celebrating F1 Driver’s Wins

Alpine A110 R Fernando Alonso Edition Is A Limited Run Special Celebrating F1 Driver's Wins | Carscoops

The Fernando Alonso edition of the A110 R is limited to just 32 units

www.carscoops.com

“The new Alpine A110 R Fernando Alonso is a slightly sportier and ultra-exclusive take on the hardcore version of the brand’s two-seat sportscar that the two-time Formula 1 champion himself has approved.
A few subtle exterior and interior changes have been made to mark the 32 Fernando Alonso editions apart from the rest of the herd, while a new patented height-adjustable suspension set-up is unique to the limited-run car and features input by Alonso himself.

Shame they let him go.

will see what the Ocon’s version will be, one day I guess, 🤷‍♂️

 

[Roxind]

Double post, sorry

We already know, nothing to do with Ocon. They only wanted to offer a 1 year deal because they wanted Gasly the following year or because of age. Alonso being Alonso, thought he was worth more than that and wanted a longer term deal.

 

[Roxind]

I know that, but naming and setting a car up to Alonso’s standard and not having the driver for the launch of such a car is a little bit a shame imo.

Yeah, Otmar fucked up, tried to play hardball and miscalculated with both drivers.

That looks pretty good. Do they have any long term plans to sell in the US??

What really is the point of the carousel? Why don't they make it smooth?

Nope, but maybe in the future theirs electric cars, Alpine is going full electric starting from next model, would be sold in the US.
But I’m guessing you won’t give two sh*ts, then?
Or maybe they will retain their adn and got an SUV lighter than McLaren, with similar power train? Who knows, the electric games will change a lot of thing for plenty of manufacturers, never been as easy to get a 2 000 hps power train!

Yep, you're right, I couldn't give two shits about an electric sports car. Hybrid interests me, but the only interest I might have in full electric is as a daily.

Because in Europe, we are sucker for lap time and talk about car’s emotions all the time 😉. Lap time matter.

I'm from Europe, and I don't give a crap about lap time! 😂
There's a lot to like about the Alpine, not least of which is the weight. Looks-wise, it's a tad too derivative for my liking, it looks like a 911/Cayman copy with a French twist, especially from the rear.

 

[The Brigand]

What really is the point of the carousel? Why don't they make it smooth?

Because it's legendary and one of the highlights of the Nordschleife. Making it smooth would just take away from the experience.

There are two - the main one and the smaller one near the end of the lap (seen in the beginning of the clip above).

Everyone who likes driving should try to get to the Nürburgring at least once in their life.
