After a long absence from the market, Alpine has made a spectacular comeback as a premium sports car brand with the A110.

In this article, we will provide a comprehensive explanation of the detailed specifications and prices of each model of the evolved new Alpine A110, as well as its attractive design and driving performance.

Summary of the new Alpine A110 improved model

A special model “A110 R 70” celebrating Alpine’s 70-year history

The A110 R 70, released to commemorate Alpine’s 70th anniversary, is a further evolution of the existing R version, making it a truly culmination of the brand’s history. Its rarity, limited to just 770 units worldwide, also enhances its special value.

The greatest feature of the A110 R 70 is its maneuverability, which has been refined through thorough weight reduction. Carbon fiber is used for major parts such as the front bonnet, roof, rear hood, and rear spoiler, as well as the 18-inch wheels. This reduces the vehicle weight to an astonishing 1,090 kg, which contributes greatly to the car’s agile and direct handling.

The engine is a 1.8L turbo engine that produces a maximum output of 300 PS and a maximum torque of 34.6 kgm. Combined with a lightweight body, it combines overwhelming acceleration performance with the enjoyment of being able to control it at will.

Furthermore, the A110 R 70 also boasts excellent aerodynamics. Features include a front bonnet with air intakes, a large diffuser, side skirts, and a distinctive swan-neck rear spoiler, which reduce air resistance while generating more downforce. This increases stability at high speeds and maximizes the car’s potential on the circuit.

A total of 10 exterior colors are available, and the standard Alcantara seats can be freely combined from four colors. In addition, the roof arch is the same color as the body, creating a more unified and beautiful silhouette. The special logo indicating that it is a 70th anniversary model is featured on the front fenders, headrests, and kicking plate, which is another point that will stimulate your desire to own it.

The suspension is equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 semi-slick tires, adjustable racing dampers that improve road grip and stability, and Brembo brake calipers that provide powerful braking power as standard. As an option, a lightweight Akrapovic exhaust system can also be selected, which will further enhance performance along with a sensual sound.

A110 GTS: A high-level fusion of everyday comfort and sporty performance

The A110 GTS, the successor to the A110 GT and A110 S, skillfully combines the high sportiness of the A110 S with the everyday comfort of the A110 GT. While retaining the same exhilarating driving feel, it is a car that can be enjoyed in a wider range of situations.

Choose from a rich variety of 27 body colors (1 standard color and 26 optional colors), including 5 new colors, to find a car that is uniquely yours and accentuates your individuality.

The optional “R Aero Kit” adds aerodynamic parts such as a front blade, rear spoiler, side skirts for the A110 R, an extended rear diffuser, and dual exhausts, giving the car more aggressive styling and driving performance. An Akrapovic titanium exhaust exclusively for the “A110 GTS” and “A110 R 70” (when the R Aero Kit is installed) is also available as an option.

The car is fitted with 18-inch GT RACE alloy wheels (black) as standard, with three GT RACE colours and two FUCHS forged wheels available as options. Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres are fitted as standard, with the option of the even more grippy Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2.

The interior comes standard with grey or black Sabelt leather seats, with the option of lightweight Sabelt monocoque bucket seats available in five different colours, which are upholstered in microfiber for a sportier feel.

The powertrain is the same as the A110 R 70, combining a 1.8L turbo engine with a maximum output of 300 PS and a maximum torque of 34.6 kgm with a responsive 7-speed DCT (dual clutch transmission). This allows the A110 GTS to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds.

25 special “A110 Anniversary” cars that carry on the spirit of the original A110

The A110 Anniversary is a special model limited to 25 units that most strongly inherits the original A110’s characteristics of light weight, compactness, and agility. It is the only one in the lineup to use the supple Alpine chassis, and it is designed to offer a nimble ride on winding roads, setting it apart from the other two models.

The engine is a 1.8L turbo engine that produces a maximum output of 252 PS and a maximum torque of 32.6 kgm. Although it has more modest specifications than the other two models, combined with the lightweight body, it offers a light and fun driving feel reminiscent of the original A110.

The A110 Anniversary comes standard with high-performance parts that support driving performance, such as Brembo brake calipers, bi-material brake discs, and Sabelt lightweight monocoque bucket seats.

Two body colors are available: “Blue Alpine M (Metallic)” and “Blanc Irises M,” both of which are attractive colors that evoke the heritage of the original A110.

The ever-evolving Alpine A110: past updates

Even before this lineup refresh, the Alpine A110 had been constantly evolving. In August 2024, the high-spec model “A110 R TURINI” was added, catering to users seeking performance more specialized for circuit driving. In February 2024, a reclining seat pack was added as an option to the base grade, and the equipment of the “A110 GT” and “A110 S” was revised and new options were added, resulting in detailed improvements. These updates demonstrate that the A110 is a sports car that continues to evolve and meet the needs of its users.

Price of the new Alpine A110

The prices for each model of the revamped Alpine A110 are as follows:

• A110 R 70 : 17.9 million yen (limited to 770 units worldwide)
• A110 GTS : 12 million yen
• A110 Anniversary : ​​9.6 million yen (limited to 25 units)

The limited edition A110 Anniversary model is the most affordable, but is expected to sell out quickly due to its rarity. The standard A110 GTS will be priced between the previous A110 GT and A110 S models, making it an attractive option for a wider range of customers. The A110 R 70 is the most expensive model due to its special features and premium nature as a limited production model.

For reference, the price range of the previous model was as follows:

• Alpine A110 (black interior): 10.4 million yen
• Alpine A110GT (brown interior): 11.5 million yen
• Alpine A110S (interior color: microfiber): 12.1 million yen
• Alpine A110 R Turini: 16.1 million yen

The pricing of each new model reflects the characteristics and rarity of each model.  

Exterior design that elevates heritage into modernity

The exterior design of the new Alpine A110 strongly inherits the DNA of the A110 Berlinetta, a legendary car that took the world by storm in the 1960s. In particular, the four round front lights are an iconic design element that makes the A110 instantly recognizable.

The body is adorned with accents that are based on the tricolor of the French flag, Alpine’s home country, subtly asserting the brand’s roots.

The rear design also has a smooth silhouette that inherits the flow of the classic A110 Berlinetta, but the adoption of thin-line LED lights adds a modern, advanced feel.

Another feature is the aerodynamic design, which pursues functional beauty, with features such as a flat underbody and rear diffuser. This has resulted in a large amount of downforce while achieving an excellent Cd value (air resistance coefficient) of 0.32.

Brembo brake calipers can be seen from the feet, hinting at the car’s high braking power. The front uses an aluminum monoblock opposed four-piston brake, while the rear uses an aluminum single piston brake, achieving both weight reduction and stopping power.

Compact yet impressive body size

The new Alpine A110’s body dimensions are 4205mm in length, 1800mm in width, 1250mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2420mm. Despite its compact size of approximately 4.2m in length, the width is designed to be wide at 1800mm, achieving excellent driving stability.

The vehicle weight of the A110 GTS is a lightweight 1,120 kg. This is achieved while maintaining high body rigidity through extensive use of lightweight materials such as aluminum and carbon fiber in the body. The front-to-rear weight distribution is 44% front and 56% rear, achieving the ideal balance typical of a mid-engine sports car, contributing to excellent turning ability and traction performance. The car has a seating capacity of two people.

The tire sizes are 205/40 ZR18 in the front and 235/40 ZR18 in the rear, providing excellent grip on the road.

An interior that combines high-quality materials and cutting-edge technology

The interior of the new Alpine A110 is a stoic two-seater sports car, but exudes the refined and high-quality feel that is characteristic of a French premium brand.

The meter uses a cutting-edge, high-resolution digital display that can display a variety of information in real time, such as engine output, torque, boost pressure, and clutch and transmission oil temperatures, allowing the driver to always understand the vehicle’s condition and enjoy a sportier driving experience.

The center console is divided into two sections, top and bottom, and the upper section is functionally arranged with switches to select the drive range, open and close the windows, and start the engine.

Metal materials are used for the feet and door sill plates, tightening the impression of the space and creating a sporty atmosphere. The door panels, like the exterior, are equipped with accent parts inspired by the French flag, giving a subtle sense of playfulness.

Although the new Alpine A110 has a midship layout with the engine mounted at the rear, it has a trunk that can accommodate small items. This is a design that takes into consideration convenience for everyday use.

High-performance engine and specifications developed by Renault Sport

At the heart of the new Alpine A110 is a 1.8L inline-four turbo engine developed by Renault Sport, the motorsport division of parent company Renault.

The engine power and torque for each model are as follows:

• A110 Anniversary : ​​252ps/32.6kgm
• A110 GTS : 300ps/34.6kgm
• A110 R 70 : 300ps/34.6kgm

These engines are combined with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission that enables quick gear changes, providing a direct and responsive acceleration feeling. In particular, the base model “A110 Anniversary” boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 4.4 kg/PS, thanks to its lightweight body.

The high-spec models, the A110 GTS and A110 R 70, have engine output increased to 300ps, providing even higher driving performance.

The Alpine A110 also comes with three driving modes: “Normal,” “Sport,” and “Track,” which can be easily switched using a button on the steering wheel. Selecting a mode affects throttle response, steering assist, gear shift speed, ESC (Electronic Stability Control) settings, and the display of the full-color TFT meter, adapting to various driving situations. It also comes equipped with a launch control function that improves acceleration performance from a standing start, providing an advantage on circuit driving.

Fuel efficiency that combines environmental friendliness and practicality

Although it is a sports car with high dynamic performance, the new Alpine A110’s fuel economy is also noteworthy. Its fuel economy in WLTC mode is announced to be 14.0km/L, and the combination of a lightweight body and a small engine achieves excellent fuel economy. This allows it to combine the fun of sports driving with economy in everyday use.

A word from the editorial department

The new Alpine A110 inherits the Alpine spirit cultivated over 70 years of history, while incorporating modern technology and sophisticated design to create new premium sports car value. The three distinctive models, the A110 R 70, A110 GTS, and A110 Anniversary, each have their own unique appeal and driving performance, meeting a variety of needs.

Alpine is celebrating its 70th anniversary and writing a new chapter. Its latest model, the new A110, is a premium sports car that truly meets the demands of the times, combining respect for the past with a commitment to the future.
