PARIS: Alpine has revealed its all-new A110 R Ultime limited edition at the Paris Motor Show.
Alongside the A390_β show car, the forerunner of the brand's future sport fastback, the Alpenglow HY6 and the A290, the A110 R Ultime limited edition draws on the best of Alpine's engineering and the tailor-made experience of its Atelier programme.
The A110 R Ultime, with its sharp chassis and engine boosted to 345 bhp in RON102 (192 hp/L), reaches maximum power at 6,000 rpm.
Maximum 420 Nm (310 lb-ft) torque is available from 3,200 rpm, 80 Nm more than the standard A110 R Turini.
This 110-unit limited edition sports car has a Launch Control automated start function.
Its power-to-weight ratio is 3.2 kg/hp, and it sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in a scant 3.8 seconds.
The Ultime limited edition combines the best of Alpine's and Alpine Racing's technical expertise.
It features a modified turbo (turbine and compressor), a new DW6 gearbox with improved torque capacity, an Akrapovic titanium exhaust system, four Ohlins adjustable dampers, a bespoke braking system with 330 mm AP Racing bi-material discs, high-performance brake pads, and new cooling ducts.
In addition, Alpine's aerodynamicists have increased the vehicle's downforce (+160 kg of additional downforce at Vmax compared to an A110 R Turini).
This, combined with the increase in power and torque, improves the Alpine A110 R Ultime's handling on track, making it ultra-high-performance and ever more agile on corner entry, cornering, and acceleration.
Fitted with 18-inch forged wheels at the front and 19-inch at the rear, shod with Michelin PS2 CUP tyres, this new Alpine A110 R Ultime transmits its power directly to the road.
The road holding work carried out had a clear objective: further improving the car's performance.
Thanks to a successful blend of agility and performance, the Alpine A110 R Ultime is a genuine road-legal circuit car.
The model's exclusivity is also reflected in its design, with a specific two-level personalisation catalogue: Atelier and Atelier Sur-Mesure.
Thanks to a prestigious collaboration between Sabelt and Poltrona Frau, this limited edition's Atelier Alpine personalisation range offers unprecedented diversity, with new possibilities for combining exterior and interior finishes.
For its entry-level Atelier personalisation package there are 27 exterior colours and Alcantara upholstery available in four colours: Grey, Red, Blue and Orange.
This allows customers to choose the ambience that reflects their style.
By customising numerous details, these colourful harmonies extend throughout the cabin.
