According to a series of teasers posted on social
media by Alpine, a new model, which in all likelihood is a more extreme variant
of the of the A110 sports coupe, will be “coming soon from Dieppe to Le Mans”.
The images reveal a
container with the company’s logo on the doors and the silhouette of the A110
on one side, therefore it’s thought to be a preview of the upcoming
track-focused model that will make its premiere at the famous endurance race,
which takes place on June 15-16.
The biggest change will be the added power, with the
1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine expected to kick out 300 PS and 400 Nm of torque, like the mill powering the
Renault Megane RS Trophy and Trophy-R.
That would make it 48 PS and 80 Nm of torque more powerful than the regular A110, and while it would
not be prudent to talk numbers, the extra oomph and some weight reduction
measures should yield a noticeable improvementover the 4.5-second 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the base version.
