2024 Alpine A110 R Le Mans

Today (June 10), one of the most famous endurance races in the world, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, will begin, celebrating its centenary. On this occasion, Alpine presented a limited edition of its racing car, the A110 R Le Mans.

The car is considered a collector’s item and will be produced in only 100 copies. The ultralight Coupé is based on the recently presented Alpine A110 R and it is finished in white with blue details and Le Mans markings, while the interior is equipped with carbon elements and aluminum accessories.

Under the hood is a turbocharged 1.8L four-cylinder 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. That’s enough power to push the 1,082 kg car to 62 mph (100 km/h) in a respectable 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 285 km/h (177 mph).

The car will be produced in only 100 copies and will cost 140,000 euros. Also, the French car manufacturer announced that, next season, all owners of the A110 R Le Mans will have access to the team pit in the WEC (World Endurance Championship).

Refreshed Alpine A110

Alpine recently announced that in the next few years it will be among the companies whose cars will be powered only by electricity. Obviously, some models will still have to wait, as the company has unveiled a refreshed edition of the lightweight aluminum Alpine A110.

This sports two-seater will be offered in three versions: Alpine A110, A110 GT and A110 S. The base model is powered by a centrally located Renault 1.8-liter four-cylinder turbo petrol engine (Megane RS) with 252 hp (185 kW) and 236 lb-ft (320 Nm) of torque, which is enough to reach 62 mph in 4.5 seconds. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The A110 S is top of the range, offering an even stiffer chassis and a sporty exhaust system. The weight, depending on the equipment, ranges from 1109 to 1140 kg. It is powered by a 1.8-liter engine with 300 hp (221 kW) and 251 lb-ft (340 Nm) of torque. That’s 8 hp and 20 Nm more than the previous model. It reaches 62 mph in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 171 mph (275 kph).

The A110 GT is slightly heavier than the A110 S (20 kg). It is equipped with softer leather-covered seats, and the driver also has a parking assistance system. It is powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 300 hp (221 kW) and 251 lb-ft (340 Nm) of torque, and top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph (250 kph).

Alpine A110 Limited Edition

The engineering company Ravange has made a modern interpretation of the legendary Alpine Rally A110, which gained its fame in the early 1970s. The car is based on the current Coupé Alpine A110 Pure.

The expanded and modified body is painted with colors modeled on one of the examples of the French fighter aircraft Mirage 2000C. Behind the name Ravage lies a duo of anonymous enthusiasts who normally hold the positions of heads of design departments in two large car companies, but at the urging of a third enthusiast, created the Alpine A110 Limited Edition.

The car is equipped with yellow lights, exposed titanium exhaust system (created by a former employee of Honda’s HRC team), wider fenders and 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 225 / R18 (front) and 265 / R18 (rear) tires, like the ones that adorned the original Rally Alpine.

The Alpine A110 is powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder turbo engine with 252 hp (185 kW) and 236 lb-ft (320 Nm). Also, customers will be able to count on a more powerful version with about 320 hp (235 kW) and 258 lb-ft (350 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The price of the Alpine A110 Limited Edition is € 120,000.
