[Auto] Alpine A110 Légende GT: The forbidden fruit is no longer apple-shaped

[#Steeven.™]

The adjustments that Renault Group is applying to its internal structure have us in suspense. The reason is that all the firms that compose it, except one, have a more or less defined roadmap. And you will ask yourself, what is that teaching? Well, you don't have to be a lynx to know that it is Alpine. The Dieppe (France) house is one of the smallest in its segment and the lack of more models further complicates its launch plan.

To make up for the lack of news, its managers have opted for launching special editions. In all the time that the A110 has been on sale we have already known several. One of the ones we liked the most was last year's Légende GT. Well, now a more complete Alpine A110 Légende GT lands on the market ready to steal from its main rivals, the customers. You like? Well, among so much good news we have one that you will not like ...

Of the Alpine A110 Légende GT only 300 units will be manufactured ...

First of all, the design lines of the Alpine A110 Légende GT do not vary with respect to the other versions. Where there are changes is in the color palette or ornaments. Thus, the body can be dressed in two tones with contrasting interiors. The first combination combines the Mercury Silver with a cabin lined in black leather with gray stitching. The second mixes an Abyss Blue exterior and Amber Brown leather upholstery on the interior.

As a complement, the A110 Légende GT features 18-inch diamond-finished alloy wheels with gold-tone brake calipers. In addition, the rear optics feature a translucent design and LED technology. Inside, we find Sabelt Comfort seats adjustable in six positions or carbon fiber inserts. In addition, Alpine has placed a numbered plate on the console to know which unit we are facing.

As for the powertrain, this A110 Légende GT presents some change from its predecessor. Now, its 1.8 TCe petrol block offers 292 hp of power and 320 Nm of maximum torque between 2,000 and 6,400 rpm. Thanks to it and the dual-clutch automatic transmission, it can offer heart-stopping performance. Thus, it signs an acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour of 5.5 seconds and a maximum speed, on the track, of 250 kilometers per hour.

This evolution will allow Alpine to remain strong in the market. The problem is that the number of units that will reach the market of the A110 Légende GT is very limited. As much as that for all of Europe there will be only 300 copies. Its price? Well, for now we only know the data for France, starting very close to 72 thousand euros. We will have to wait to know the rate for Spain, although we doubt that it is much lower.
