Alpine A110 Nears the Finish Line: The Final 1,800 Cars Mark the End of an Era

The Alpine A110’s story is entering its final chapter. The lightweight French sports car that charmed enthusiasts with its purity of purpose and retro-modern flair is about to bow out before its electric successor arrives next year.

“Collectors take note,” Alpine says — and rightly so. The Dieppe-based manufacturer has confirmed it will produce just 1,750 more standard A110s and 50 examples of the track-honed A110 R before the curtain falls for good. Production will wind down by mid-2026, as the factory prepares to retool for the next-generation, fully electric A110 built on the new Alpine Performance Platform.

For now, the order books remain open in the UK, though Alpine expects to close them in roughly six months. Given the brand’s steady sales pace, that likely translates to about 200 more cars for British buyers before the allocation runs dry.

Since its rebirth in 2017, the A110 has quietly defied expectations — and market trends. While many sports cars have seen demand soften amid electrification and SUV obsession, Alpine claims its mid-engined coupe’s sales curve has climbed throughout its life cycle, with nearly 30,000 units sold globally by the time production ends next year.

That’s a testament to what the A110 has always been: a modern reminder that less can indeed be more. With its curb weight under 2,500 pounds, sharp steering, and perfectly judged balance, the A110 has long stood as a counterpoint to heavier, more powerful rivals from Porsche and beyond.

Pricing remains as it has been in the UK lineup: the base 242-hp A110 starts at around £55,000, the 296-hp GTS stretches to £70,000, and the ultra-focused A110 R – essentially a road-legal racer – asks a steep £107,000.

After that, it’s lights out for the petrol-powered A110. The next generation will be electric, faster, and likely heavier — but if Alpine has proven anything, it’s that passion and precision engineering can transcend the power source.

So if you’ve ever dreamed of owning one of the last truly analog European sports cars, this is your final boarding call. Once Dieppe switches to electrons, there’s no going back.

2026 Alpine A110 R 70

Alpine is celebrating seven decades of the brand and on this occasion it has introduced the A110 R 70, as well as the A110 GTS as a replacement for the A110 S and A110 GT models.

The A110 GTS is based on the A110 S chassis and is available in five new colors including Peacock Blue, Acropolis Orange, Solar Orange, Eclipse Blue and Steel Gray. It has not changed in terms of design compared to the A110 S but buyers can now choose an optional aerodynamic package, which brings it closer to the A110 R. It is equipped with a new set of 18-inch GT Race wheels and Brembo brake calipers available in six different colors.

Under the bonnet is a 1.8-L engine with 300 hp (221 kW) and 250 lb-ft (340 Nm) of torque. This is enough to push the car to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 275 km/h (171 mph). Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed automatic transmission.

The A110 R 70 will be produced in 770 units, of which 210 are Tricolour Edition versions, divided into 70 units each in Bleu Caddy, Glacier Blanc and Rouge Simique. These colors were chosen as a reminder of the original Alpine A106, which marked the beginning of the brand in 1955.

The car is based on the A110 R and is adorned with Alpine’s 70th anniversary logo on the front wings, sills and headrests, a French flag monogram on the pillars and door panels, as well as a numbered plaque. Customers can choose from 10 body colors and four interior colors combined with seven available brake caliper shades.

Like the A110 R, this model also has a carbon hood, roof, rear window cover, rear spoiler and 18-inch wheels. It is powered by a turbocharged 1.8-L 4-cylinder engine with 300 hp.

When it comes to price, the A110 GTS costs 79,500 euros, while the A110 R 70 is much more expensive at 122,500 euros.
