A110R “Radical”
Discussion
Looking awesome!
The brand will unveil a radical new version of its A110 sports coupé in Japan during the Suzuka F1 Grand Prix weekend.
R FOR "RADICAL"
It is the highly anticipated version that will complete the A110 range. An extreme version. Lighter. Sharper. And even more inspired by motor racing. In a word, more "radical" to top the A110 range. The ultimate expression of lightness and performance, the new Alpine A110 R is designed for unique feelings on the racetrack while remaining road legal.
This new model will be unveiled on Tuesday, 4 October at 12.30 pm, followed by its European premiere at the Paris Motor Show 2022 from 17 October onwards.

What do we know about the new A110R?
Well the recent teaser video shared on social media suggests power may remain unchanged. The digital instrument cluster shows >300 hp in the upper-right corner and 340 Nm (251 lb-ft) on the left side. There is also no mention of output on the leaked technical specs. Original early reports started up to 360bhp but nothing was ever confirmed and engine spec has remained a closely guarded secret. It seems this is because there be may no changes from the 2022 A110s. What we do know is that 177mph and 0-60 3.9s should not possible with a weight reduction alone but possibly with changes to gear ratios. A little more power too wouldn’t hurt and >300 still possibly indicates over 300bhp, we will have to wait and see.
Extensive use of real carbon throughout for significant weight reduction. Bonnet with vents, roof, seat shells, diffuser, engine cover, revised spoiler, splitter and wheels. The bonnet design looks similar to the GT4 car. Some 34kg weight reduction in the A110R overall.
The rear spoiler is not the same as the one in the regular Aero pack. It’s a unique design for the A110R.
The suspension has been lowered and uprated. A reduction of up to 20mm “on track” in the tech specs suggests that the dampers may be height adjustable for track and road although there is no indication of this on the technical drawings. The dampers do have definitely separate reservoirs and we expect these to have adjusters for bump and/or rebound.
There is no new information regarding the braking system so would assume this remains the same as the A110S perhaps with a revised compound.
The wheels will be carbon and aero design. It is unclear from the tech specs and drawings whether there are two design options or that the wheel styles are different front and rear for aero purposes. The tyres will be Michelin Pilot Sport 2 Cup, essentially a street legal track day tyre with huge grip.
The interior is race inspired with the microfiber pack and red fabric door pulls. Expect those to be similar to those seen recently on the Turbo 3E. Seats are exclusive Sabelt buckets, carbon shell with 6 point race harnesses.
Telemetrics are standard, Focal audio is retained and hopefully carplay remains and that the earlier infotainment is not used for weight saving.
There is no information regarding air conditioning. Hopefully this has been retained and not removed as part of the weight saving package.
There will be a numbered dash plaque of the design previously posted on here. It is unclear whether the image of the car on the plaque will be the usual Alpine silhouette flowing outline or specific to the A110R.
The rear badge design confronted is as per the technical drawing above. The regular Alpine font with the addition of an “R” with a slight right inclination. The colour of the letters is unknown but it wouldn’t be a surprise if the R was red.
There will be a new unique shade of blue “Alpine Racing Blue” available as a cost option. This may be the same colour as seen on the GT4 cars. It is unknown whether the full regular palette and Atelier colours will be a available but it is understood that white will be a no cost option.
The list price will start at €101k euro without options. If a market rate exchange is applied that will equate to just over £90k gbp. But don’t be surprised if the UK price is closer the the Euro price pounds for euros.
Order books aren’t officially open yet but dealers will take a deposit of £2k to secure your place on the wait list. Expect delivery around March 2023 if you get in early.
Should be an awesome car.
