Painted black A to C pillar with carbon roof and carbon rear deck just looks odd. And are the carbon wheels just carbon wheel covers (hub caps!)?

Carbon wheels + sacrificial covers from what I read.

just wonderful isn't it?

i wonder how much the optional matt blue paint costs and how it'll look in person.

I'd almost the car just have everything bar the carbon exterior parts so it'll be cheaper rather than eye candy. bet a lithium battery will save just as much weight (maybe not for the wheels) which is rotating mass.

what other options will you get bar paint that won't increase the weight of the car? It's almost like an all-in price

It looks strange with miss matched wheels.

Apparently according to FAR the 110 for 2023 (I am assuming French examples) got snapped up in 11 minutes. Still looks possible to put a deposit on a UK one though.

Correction. You can hit the "place an order" button on the UK app and it then tells you orders will open at the end of the year.

I tested if it would be possible to reserve the A110 R via the Alpine app from Belgium where I bought my base A110. The answer is that it would be possible. 1,000 EUR deposit required. Not that I have any plans to order one.

The Fernando Alonso Edition just landed as correctly predicted by the Renault Alpine Owners Club

A110 R Fernando Alonso Edition has landed as predicted.

A110 R Fernando Alonso: an ultra limited edition of 32 cars built. All the expertise of a two-time Formula 1® World champion at your fingertips.

32 as the driver's 32 wins in Fomula 1® over the course of his career.

A110 R Fernando Alonso is where the track meets the road. It combines our F1 expertise, the know-how of the legendary driver, and Alpine’s precision and agility. With this ultimate version, Fernando himself fine tuned the suspension system, which is covered by an exclusive patent, to deliver the same intense thrills experienced on the track. And there’s more: Fernando Alonso also had a hand in designing both the exterior and interior, making this special edition A110 R an elegant, unique and radical sports car.

I might have been in with a shout as the owner of the highest mileage UK PE at 36,000 miles but I fear I’m not popular at HQ!

…that and not having £100k for the car

I'm not in the frame for an R - but even if I was I can't see the extra appeal of the Alonso edition. But then again I've never seen the appeal of a car that was owned or endorsed by a celebratory - unless it actually had some functional advantage. Princess Di's Escort is an extreme case in point.

Can't wait........

the only option is colour.... i wonder if i can take out AC

gonna stick with free white i think
Few more option available, like premium audio sound system, Storage pack, you can also delete the front storage under the bonnet for a no cost option. This has not been explained as to how much weight this saves. And the free colour is Deepblack in the UK, white is not available for UK spec.

Lazy screenshot of new exhaust/diffuser. Looks cool, reminds me of the GT4 RS pipes.
The exhaust tips are 3D printed with F1 tech.

I don't believe that's correct
I believe you can put a deposit down using the App. it will be interesting to see the take up. Don't know how many UK examples there will be, but there are 110 for 2023 the FAR believe.
2023 slots gone now.
We have more slots available. I can confirm. Waiting on more supply for 2023 to be confirmed.

Will need to order through a dealership to get your name on the list earlier than the app.

I rang a dealer who said it would "start" at £89k.

Free colour is black? I guess that’ll have to do then.
White is not free or not even available?
