Yeah, but if someone was skimming...

I was hoping that I'd been overblown enough to go through provocative and into laughable.

I fear some on here would seriously express such comments (without tongue in cheek).

That's very quick - around 1.7 seconds quicker than the standard model achieved in Autocar (two up I guess). In EVO the Cayman S got the ton in 9.3, so the Litchfield mod must take the Alpine into the 8s seeing as it beat the GTS

Seems like the drivetrain is covered

Reassuring if true - but https://www.litchfieldmotors.com/ALPINE/a110 actually says engine warranty, not drivetrain warranty.

I'll ask

Had a reply from Iain - the warranty covers the engine and gearbox but only for road use - same as the original warranty. I think that's fair enough.

Thread resurrection - This mod seems to have been popular on the French Alpine site (FAR) and there don't appear to have been any issues yet. The only comment was track driving had to be done in track mode as ESC struggled otherwise.

Might take a look once out of warranty

I notice that the Life110 mod includes multiple remaps. It is said to be to cater for possible upgrades or possibly return to standard when selling. I do wonder if there might be emission issues at the MOT. Probably worth checking.

Love the Porsche vs Alpine crap. Two different markets for two very different owners. I chose Alpine because I like quirky, unusual and rare (stable includes Lotus and Ariel). What clinched it for me was a straw poll conducted in a Sainsbury’s car park in Nuneaton… Three people asked me about the Alpine. I explained that it wasn’t mine and that I was test driving it for a few days. I asked all three the same question; Alpine A110s or 718GTS4.0? Same response from all “a Porsche is just another Porsche” followed by a rather disparaging comment about Porsche owners. Job done.
