The alpinecars A110 continues to impress and the high-spec S is no different. This is a fabulous little sports car -
Yes, there’s a bit more man-made suede in the cabin, a new flash of orange in the tricalore on the C-pillar and on the interior trim, and items that are optional on the Pure, such as the big brake kit and sports exhaust, are now standard on the S. But what really marks out the S are the changes to its chassis. The anti-roll bars are 100 per cent stiffer than on the standard car, and the springs 50 per cent firmer, with the dampers retuned to match.
Alpine is keen to stress that this doesn’t mark too big of a change in philosophy: the standard A110 we know and love continues alongside the S . Here, though, we’ll focus on the S, which is aimed at those who would prefer more precision and high-speed composure, whether during fast road driving or on track.
The harder you drive the A110S, the more it seems to like it, and the engine plays its part, too, spinning with much more enthusiasm to the red line. It always feels more than quick enough, and while the ’box lacks the immediacy and punchy shifts of Porsche’s PDK, it does enough not to be a hindrance in the overall package.On its optional Cup 2 rubber, it has astounding purchase on the road surface, locking itself down with superb grip at both ends.
Yet as excellent as the A110S is, we can’t help but concede that some of the base car’s ultimate feedback has been eroded, making the S feel somewhat more generic to drive. At £61,990 it’s also exactly £10,000 more expensive than the base car, and somehow starts to feel like a slightly more challenging value proposition.
