Ever wondered what might happen if Alpine made the A110 into a Cayman GT4 rival? Voila - the A110 R.
How do you go about improving the Alpine A110? There are many out there who’ll tell you it’s beyond much meaningful betterment, so persuasive is its combination of design, performance and handling. Alpine would be inclined to agree, and reckons that only radical methods will result in any real gain - hence this A110 R.
One thing that hasn’t changed, however, is the engine. The R is powered by the same 300hp/251lb ft 1.8-litre turbo as the rest of the range. The seven-speed DCT is unchanged as well. Thanks to less weight than ever, though - the R is just 1,082kg, or 34kg lighter than an A110 S - this is still the fastest Alpine yet, sprinting to 62mph in 3.9 seconds. There’s a more ‘assertive’ sound promised from the new exhaust as well.
The new carbon parts for the R will account for a chunk of the weight saving, and ensures the new car a visual identity of its own. It’s most noticeably used for the bonnet and rear deck, but also features for the seats and those stunning wheels, which themselves save 12.5kg. They’re open at the front and closed at the rear, primarily for the aero benefit, but also because it helps brake cooling.
