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.

2028 Alpine 2+2 EV GT

Between 1971 and 1984, French manufacturer Alpine produced the A310 sports car, and now the company is announcing its return. The launch is expected in the next few years, and it will be an all-electric 2+2 EV GT.

What do we know so far? The new Alpine A310 will have a completely new design and will differ from the current Alpine range. Some information suggests that it could be similar to the A390 concept, launched last year, and will be based on the new Alpine Performance Platform (APP) architecture. The same platform will be used by the successor to the Alpine A110.

The Alpine A310 will be a rival to the Porsche 911, and will be powered by three electric motors, one in the front and two in the rear. The same configuration will also be present in the production version of the Alpine A390 SUV, which is announced in October 2024.

The previous A310 was powered by a 1.6-L 4-cylinder engine, which was later replaced by a 2.6-L V6 engine with 148 hp (110 kW), mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The most powerful version was powered by a 2.9-L V6 engine with 190 hp.

Renault Group recorded sales growth in 2024

In 2024, Renault Group sold 2.26 million vehicles worldwide, and the best-selling French brand Renault sold 1,577,351 passenger and light commercial vehicles, an increase of 1.8% compared to 2023.

On the European market, Renault sold 1,009,672 vehicles, which is a growth of 3.3 percent compared to the same period a year earlier. The French brand is pursuing its strategy by relying on its well-known hybrid offer (40% of sales) and, on the other hand, on its 100% electric offer, which has won two consecutive Car of the Year awards (Scenic E-Tech and Renault 5 E-Tech – the best-selling electric vehicle in France in the last two months of last year). Renault is also performing positively in the light commercial vehicle market, where it is the leader in Europe with 310,458 registrations (+4.6%).

Other brands from the Renault Group are also recording positive results. Dacia sold 676,340 cars worldwide, which is 2.7 percent more than the previous year, with significant market share growth in Italy (+13.1%), Spain (+12.4%), Belgium and Luxembourg (+15 .4%), but also to Morocco (+16.3%). This was achieved thanks to the brand’s top-selling models: Sandero, Duster, Jogger and Spring. The same is expected this year, when the Bigster model will hit the market, for which orders are open at the beginning of January.

Alpine also recorded sales growth compared to the previous year with 4,585 vehicles sold (+5.9%). The brand’s strongest markets were Italy (+37.5%), the United Kingdom (+24.9%), Spain (+19.3%) and Germany (+10.6%), while 2024 was marked by the arrival of the first fully electric hot hatch, the A290 GTS.

Dacia Sandero is still a hit, retaining its position as the best-selling car in Europe in 2024 with more than 300,000 deliveries.
