Discover the New Alpine A110 R Ultime: Unleashing Peak Performance at the Paris Motor Show
Alpine has unveiled the all-new A110 R Ultime Limited Edition at the Paris Motor Show. Showcased alongside the A390_β concept car, the precursor to Alpine's upcoming sport fastback, the Alpenglow HY6, and the A290, the A110 R Ultime epitomises the pinnacle of Alpine's engineering prowess and the bespoke offerings of its Atelier programme.
The A110 R Ultime sports a finely tuned chassis and an engine enhanced to deliver 345 bhp using RON102 (192 hp/L), peaking at 6,000 rpm. It generates a maximum torque of 420 Nm (310 lb-ft) from 3,200 rpm, 80 Nm more than the standard A110 R Turini.
This limited edition of just 110 units features an automated Launch Control start function, boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 3.2 kg/hp, and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.8 seconds.
Integrating the best of Alpine and Alpine Racing’s technical knowledge, the Ultime edition comes equipped with an upgraded turbo (turbine and compressor), a new DW6 gearbox with enhanced torque capacity, an Akrapovic® titanium exhaust system, four Ohlins® adjustable dampers, a customised braking system with 330 mm AP Racing bi-material discs, high-performance brake pads, and new cooling ducts.
Alpine’s aerodynamicists have also boosted the vehicle’s downforce by an additional 160 kg at maximum speed compared to the A110 R Turini. This significant increase in downforce, coupled with more power and torque, elevates the A110 R Ultime’s track performance, enhancing its agility during corner entry, cornering, and acceleration.
Outfitted with 18-inch forged wheels at the front and 19-inch at the rear and equipped with Michelin PS2 CUP tyres, the new Alpine A110 R Ultime ensures direct power transmission to the road. The focus on road holding aims to elevate the car’s overall performance further.
The model's exclusivity is highlighted by its design, featuring a two-tier personalisation catalogue: Atelier and Atelier Sur-Mesure. A prestigious partnership with Sabelt® and Poltrona Frau® enriches this limited edition's Atelier Alpine personalisation range, offering unprecedented diversity in combining exterior and interior finishes.
The entry-level Atelier package offers 27 exterior colours and Alcantara® upholstery in four hues: Grey, Red, Blue, and Orange, enabling customers to tailor the ambience to their style. Personal touches extend throughout the cabin, including the steering wheel stitching, dashboard, door decorations, centre console, and floor mats, all coordinated with the centre of the steering wheel, the door strap, and the Sabelt® seats.
For those seeking an elevated bespoke experience, the Alpine A110 R Ultime also presents a dedicated personalisation catalogue and an optional Sur-Mesure programme.
The Atelier Sur-Mesure level offers an even more sophisticated and original experience through a collaborative design process with Alpine, Poltrona Frau®, and Sabelt® teams. This option includes nine additional Alcantara® colours and, for the first time, leather available in 10 colours. For those desiring an extra touch of elegance, Alpine and Poltrona Frau® have developed three finishing techniques: embroidery, embossing, and leather braiding. From leather or microfibre covering the entire interior, including the centre console, dashboard, steering wheel, and door decorations, each customer can craft a genuinely unique A110.
Externally, customers can customise their vehicle further by choosing colours for the carbon-fibre bonnet, upper air intakes, rear window, fin, spoiler, and various aerodynamic features.
This limited edition transitions from elegance to ultimate personalisation while maintaining the sporting essence of the A110 R Ultime.
Displayed at the Alpine stand at the Paris Motor Show in the exclusive "La Bleue" configuration, limited to just 15 units, this model's colour merges two iconic Alpine blues — Alpine Vision Blue and Abysse Blue. This hand-crafted gradient envelops the car like a sculpture, complemented by a unique Poltrona Frau® and Sabelt® blue leather interior, creating a harmonious blend never seen on the A110.
"La Bleue" exemplifies the expansive customisation possibilities offered by the Atelier Sur Mesure Alpine, with this configuration priced at €330,000, including VAT (subject to local taxes).
