If, on the Dieppe side, the future is turned towards electricity, we cajole the last thermal ambassador to ensure a dignified end to her career.
Alpine A110 R (2022) – The R label, a guarantee of lightness, oversees the A110 range in the most extreme way with in the line of sight of a thirsty clientele for the circuit.
We hoped for yet another evolution of the single officiating block behind the bucket seats of the Berlinette to honor this ultimate variant. Unfortunately, she is content to renew the 300 hp of the A110 S, preferring to bet on lightening and aerodynamic optimization to gain in performance. Lhe engineers did not skimp on the use of carbon to lower his report weight/power at only 3.6 kg/hpby casting the bonnet, the rims, the rear window or even the monocoque seats badged Sabelt in the precious fibre.
Thereby reduced by 34 kg (1,082 kg)relative to the mass of the A110 S, the beast accelerates as hard as a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 (420 hp for 1,450 kg) to PDK box by shipping the 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 secondswhen the 1,000 m standing start only takes 21.9 s to complete, until crossing at 285 km/h maxi. Stunning performances in view of its weak cavalry, honored by multiple appendages reinforcing ground support and reducing drag, like thestern wing with gooseneck maststhe impressive diffuser with side flaps responding to the side skirts, all in addition to the front blade already fitted to the A110 S.
Born for the circuit, she wears pneus semi-slick Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 and lowers its ride height by 10 mm, while its adjustable shock absorbers allow an additional reduction of the same order. These adjust via a ring with 20 clicks to optimize the laws of relaxation and compression. To stop this happy tricolor catapult, the brake cooling system has been completely redesigned to improve efficiency and endurance by 20%. Finally, to flatter the pilot, the sound environment is ensured by the removal of the exhaust valve guaranteeing crazy lyrical flights when, from an aesthetic point of view, the beauty takes on the Blue Racing Mat color of the A522 engaged. in Formula 1.
Marketed very soon, the Alpine A110 R has not yet revealed its price. But we can easily imagine it approaching 90,000 € given the exclusivity of the materials used.
