Alpine A110S will make its UK debut at this year’s Salon Privé event,
which kicks off next month. The A110S is marketed as being more driver-focused
than the Pure or Legend models, featuring a bespoke chassis with 50% stiffer
springs and anti-roll bars that are twice as firm. It also sits closer to the
road by 4 mm, boasts wider tires front and rear, yet remains just
as easy to drive as the two previously-mentioned versions.
Visually, the A110S
stands out thanks to its signature matte Gris Tonnerre finish, orange and
carbon C-pillar flag, and its unique GT Race alloy wheels, which work alongside
orange Brembo brake calipers. Inside, there’s orange stitching instead of the
more traditional blue, while black Dinamica upholstery is used for the roof
lining, door panels and the Sabelt bucket seats. Other features include the use
of carbon fiber, aluminum pedals and footrest, orange 12 o’clock steering wheel
marker, plus the optional gloss carbon roof panel, Fuchs alloys, special seat
belts and carbon fiber backed versions of the bucket seats.
As for performance,
the Alpine A110S is powered by a mid-mounted 4-cylinder 1.8-liter unit,
producing 288 HP and 320 Nm of torque. With the aid of a
seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, the sporty coupe can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, before maxing out at 260 km/h.
