The French car manufacturer Alpine unveiled its new car with which it pays tribute to the Spanish Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso. Following the recently introduced fastest model, the limited edition is called the Alpine A110 R Fernando Alonso.

Fernando Alonso’s Alpine A110 R is powered by a 1.8L 4-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with 300 hp (221 kW) and 251 lb-ft (340 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The car is lighter compared to the standard A110 R model, but also closer to the ground. It reaches 62 mph in 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 177 mph (285 km/h).

The limited edition will be produced in 32 examples, which is the number of victories achieved by the Spanish driver Fernando Alonso in Formula 1. As a Renault driver, he was a two-time Formula 1 champion. Each car will be finished in the matte blue color that adorns Alpina’s Formula 1 car this season. In addition to the serial number plate (00/32) and Alonso’s signature in several places, the driver’s sun visor will feature the drivers’ motto: “There are more paths to the top of the mountain.”

When it comes to price, the limited edition A110 R isn’t cheap. Each car costs 148,000 euros, which is 43,000 euros more than the standard A110 R, and the price includes a replica of Alonso’s helmet.
