Alpine A110R – the ultimate version of the small French sports car and the one with the hardest core. Looks like those sit-ups are paying off.The diet is the same because even though the standard A110 is light, the R is just barely enough. It weighs just 1,082kg, which means around 34kg has been extracted using a series of carbon fiber bits, a custom R exhaust with 3D printed tips, and no sound deadening.
The carbon items include the odd-looking but serious hood, roof, and rear window panel, as well as the very odd and mismatched seats and 18-inch wheels. There are also additional carbon aero pieces, including a new front lip, side skirts, rear wing, and diffuser. The first thing to note is that the A110R does have some suspension changes to match its race car-like appearance. It sits 10mm lower than the A110S and the springs are also firmer.
The result certainly feels stiff, but what's amazing is that it never goes off track due to bumps in the road and generally seems unfazed by the worst conditions our roads have to offer. Impressive for a track-ready sports car. Plus, the ride height and damping can be adjusted if you need to loosen it up.
This highly anticipated new version completes the A110 range. Extreme, lighter, sleeker, and more motorsport-inspired than ever before - 'radical' is the only way to describe the car that is now the crown jewel of the A110 range. The ultimate expression of lightness and performance, the Alpine A110 R is designed to be a sensation on the racetrack yet remains certified for the open road.
The first major difference with the A110 R is seen in the extensive efforts made to reduce overall weight to 1,082kg – 34kg lighter than the A110 S. Its aerodynamic performance has been improved for greater downforce and reduced drag. For the first time in the A110 range, several parts (e.g. the hood, rear window, and diffuser) have been redesigned specifically for the new model. Exclusive upgrades made to the chassis, along with the 1.8L 300HP engine, and race car interior, add a radical feel that makes the driving experience more intense than ever.
Taking just 3.9 seconds to go from 0-100 km/h, the All-new Alpine A110 R pushes the boundaries of sports cars. Building on the brand's commitment to motorsport, the design phase involved direct input from top-level experts and is more than ready to beat the times when taken to the racetrack. Built-in France at Jean Rédélé's Dieppe Alpine Factory, the new car marks the start of a new chapter of the brand's expertise in motorsport.
The lpine A110 R is a radical expression of sports car performance. The essence of the automobile's origins lies in the search for perfect aerodynamics built on an optimal balance between increased downforce and reduced drag.
Go straight off the track
Several features inspired by the world of motorbike racing were directly added or adapted to the All New Alpine A110 R to optimize handling at top speed. It benefits from the latest wind tunnel technology and equipment used in Formula 1. Newly designed rear gooseneck spoilers, flat undercarriage, and diffuser, in addition to full carbon fiber rims, provide greater stability all around. corners and at high speed. The A110 R offers greater back-end aerodynamic downforce than the A110 S Aero Kit, with an additional 29kg of weight at top speed, ensuring greater balance when taking fast corners. At the same time, drag has been reduced by 5% (track attitude) increasing top speed to a record 285km/h.
Adjusted aerodynamic balance
To improve the stability and high-speed performance of the all-new Alpine A110 R on the racetrack, the design phase was guided by a fundamental goal: unlocking the vehicle's full potential through an optimal balance between downforce and drag. As such, the front has been fitted with the same carbon fiber lip as the A110 S, but the air intake valve has been integrated into the front guard, further reducing overall air resistance and increasing the car's top speed.Optimized diffuser
For a stylish yet technical touch, the diffuser has been redesigned for a bold look and an unmatched driving experience. Designed using carbon fiber and glass fiber, weight reduction is a perfect part of the aerodynamic equation. Now wider than before as it stretches towards the rear, this creates a rapid flow of air through the undercarriage causing a greater pressure drop. Vertically positioned side flaps reduce aerodynamic turbulence. A fairing has been added to further isolate the diffuser from interference coming from the spinning wheel. Changes have also been made to the fins: larger and lower than before, their shape has been changed to direct the airflow towards the diffuser. Finally, engine covers on the rear suspension arms help increase the effectiveness of the diffuser and flat card.
Gooseneck spoiler mount
The rear spoiler is mounted on a 'swan neck' mount which adds a sporty look and better aerodynamic performance. Even though the shape is the same as the spoiler on the Alpine A110 S, several features on the All New A110 R make it unique. Pushed further back, with less lean for a smaller approach angle, this is a key aspect of the car's performance in terms of optimal downforce and drag. The gooseneck mount improves the performance of the spoiler while reducing airlift on its underside. Given its location in a low-pressure environment, the system is very sensitive to any disturbance that could alter its effectiveness.New side skirt
The Alpine A110 R has been equipped with unique carbon fiber side skirts to lengthen the lower part. A larger surface area means less turbulence along the length of the car as it reduces disturbance to the underside of the car. The back of the skirt rises in front of the rear wheels, reducing rearward airflow and protecting the rear wheels from ambient air. Better stability is guaranteed! Aesthetically, the new skirt connects the front lip to the rear diffuser for a more grounded look.
Double wall exhaust
Alpine engineers and thermodynamics experts also worked on the exhaust. The A110's iconic dual exhaust has been given a 3D-printed double wall to isolate exhaust gases and protect other parts around it. The way it works is simple: the outer walls remain cooler than the gases passing through the center of the exhaust, thereby creating a balance between the inside and outside.LIGHTER - MORE RADICAL
Although the Alpine is already synonymous with 'light', engineers have developed it even further, for better performance on the circuit, and increased driving pleasure on the open road.
The strength of carbon fiber.
Thanks to the extensive use of carbon fiber – widely used in Formula 1 – both inside and out, the all-new Alpine A110 R weighs just 1,082kg, making it 34kg lighter than the A110 S. With the weight/power ratio reduced to 3.6 kg/ PS, he can run the full 1,000m from a standing start in just 21.9 seconds, making him one of the best in his category.
hood
Carbon fiber is mostly used in the bonnet of the All-new Alpine A110 R. The bonnet which is made entirely of carbon fiber not only has a sportier appearance with more character but also weighs 2.9 kg lighter and provides increased overall performance, including the speed highest. The bonnet also has two air intakes to improve aerodynamics, making it a key feature of the car's bold design, giving it a more radical feel.
on wheels
Developed by the Alpine team together with its supplier, Duqueine, the unique custom-made rims on the all-new Alpine A110 R are also made entirely of carbon fiber and were designed with three objectives in mind: to increase the car's performance by reducing it. heavy; to optimize its aerodynamics; and provide better cooling for the brakes. As such, the wheels are 12.5kg lighter than the A110 S. More open at the front and more closed at the rear, the wheels are given a unique design with finely tuned dynamic performance, optimized drag, and improved brake cooling.the back window
Although various technical characteristics reinforce the sporty feel of the All-new A110 R, its design gives it a bolder character. The rear window, made entirely of carbon fiber, is the highlight of the rear of the car. The new rear window now extends past the engine compartment and features a third stop light in the center. It also has two intake valves that supply air to the engine and features the Alpine brand's iconic snowflakes.chair
The single-shell Sabelt® seat on the all-new A110 R is made entirely from carbon fiber and helps lighten the car by 5kg. The driver and passenger seats are equipped with 6-point safety harnesses. They embody the feel of a sports car and guarantee unique comfort and support when cornering and driving at high speed.PERFORMANCE - READY TO BEAT THE CLOCK
Thanks to its blend of unprecedented agility and performance, the all-new Alpine A110 R is a true race car certified for the open road, designed to beat the times in any condition.From 0 to 100km/h in 3.9 seconds
Powered by a 1.8 turbo 4-cylinder engine mated to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch automatic transmission, the all-new Alpine A110 R has the perfect set of muscle under the hood that is built for performance. Maximum torque of 340Nm is available from 2,400rpm and a maximum power of 300HP at 6,300rpm. With the Launch Control automatic start function, this new sports car can accelerate to 100km/h in just 3.9 seconds, with a maximum speed of 285 km/h. With performance like that, this car is clearly at the forefront of the A110 range.
Exclusive stasis
The custom adjustments and features on the all-new Alpine A110 R chassis are a game changer, giving the car unprecedented performance on the racetrack. The clearance has been lowered by 10mm compared to the A110 S. Adjustable shock absorbers mean they can be lowered 10mm further for the best riding experience. The stiffness of the unique anti-cant bars has been increased by 10% at the front and 25% at the rear compared to the A110 S. The same also applies to the suspension springs which are 10% stiffer at the front and rear. for much greater body support. Specially designed shock absorbers feature hydraulic adjustment for a personalized riding experience. The 20-click ring can be used to adjust the compression/expansion ratio, meaning the rider can get the most out of a circuit-riding session.High-performance tires
The all-new Alpine A110 R is standardly equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 semi-slick tires (215/40 R18 at the front and 245/40 R18 at the rear). When combined with the car's exclusive chassis, these high-performance tires can be used both on closed circuits and open roads. Compared to standard tires, semi-slick tires provide better cornering stability and control (reinforced structure, 15% more grip, greater track longevity, and more transverse acceleration). Overall, that means an improvement of 0.5 seconds per km on the race track.Strong braking system
The Brembo high-performance braking system on the All-new A110 R is equipped with 320mm diameter composite discs at the front and rear. To perform at the level required by the speed and behavior on the track, the engineers designed an exclusive cooling system for the brakes, with four specific parts. Scoops are installed on either side of the upper arms of the front axle and ducts installed in the fairing, under the car, serve to better direct air towards the brake discs to cool them. Their combined input means a 20% improvement in the brake cooling system.Personalized driving
Like other cars in the range, the all-new Alpine A110 R offers three customizable driving modes for greater enjoyment: Normal, Sport, and Track. Accelerator and engine responsiveness, power-steering sensitivity, gear shifting, and ESC sensitivity all change according to the selected mode. The specific use of each mode is as follows:Normal - a combination of smooth everyday driving with low fuel usage.
Sport-optimized engine and gearbox management for dynamic and sporty driving: reactive accelerator, specific deceleration, fast gear changes, with the possibility of multi-downshifts and rev-up (intelligent slowing like a double clutch) between each downshift.
Track -optimized for track driving, with faster gear changes controlled exclusively via the steering wheel paddle shifters. This mode includes special ESC settings to push the car's limits while on the track. There is an 'ESC off' mode for expert drivers.
Typical Alpine sporty sound
An easily recognized roar as a signature sound that lives up to the Alpine name! The exhaust system with post-injection and double-wall exhaust pipes on the All-new A110 R offers a more defined sound. Improvements made to the shape of the double-wall exhaust and the elimination of exhaust valves make the car emit a much more harmonious sound. Noise from excess air has also been reduced, bringing the car's sound more in line with Alpine characteristics. A completely overhauled interior soundscape results in a more intense experience and heightened engine feel. Noise enhancement from the engine has been improved through the replacement of the glass partition with a lighter aluminum partition, the addition of tie rods, the removal of the engine silencer, and the continued presence of an intake resonator in the intake tract,Outstanding energy efficiency
