#Steeven.™ Posted June 10, 2023 Posted June 10, 2023 Alpine is stretching the gum with its current A110. It is the only model they have in the range due to the imminent arrival of other models such as the A290 Beta or future electric SUVs, such as the X-Over GT. Because it is already more than confirmed that all the vehicles manufactured by the French will have to be 100% electric and will maintain the sporty character. But before that happens, there are some as interesting as the Alpine A110 R Le Mans, a special edition that honors the centenary of one of the most mythical competitions. It's been a century since the first 24 Hours of Le Mans was held at the Circuit de la Sarthe and Alpine has been around for much of that time. They began their involvement in the 60s with the unforgettable Alpine M63 and thanks to the insistence of its founder Jean Rédélé. In addition, over time they signed victories as epic as the one in 1978 with the Alpine A442. They are currently present in LMP2 together with Signatech, but they are already preparing for their debut in the Hypercar LMDh category by 2024. This copy is based on the sportiest version, the A110 R, which it completes with some additional elements. Carbon fiber takes center stage as it is present on the roof, on the wheels, on the engine cover (with shark fin) and also on a spoiler highly inspired by those of competition. In fact, the brand says that it is the result of the Alpine Elf Endurance Team. It also stands out for wearing a very special livery, with the white and blue colors that have always been representative of Le Mans. Inside, the driver will sit in Sabelt Track monocoque bucket seats that will make you feel like you are in a racing car. Its suspension has received a set-up so that this also happens, since it has the Road & Track system to reduce its height and have a 5% greater firmness. In this way, we are in a car that has 300 CV from the 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, for a weight of just 1,082 kg. It is not surprising that it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds or that its top speed is 285 km/h. The Alpine A110 R Le Mans is a very limited edition that has logos of the legendary event on all four sides, including the front wings, the side sills, the headrests of the seats and even laser-engraved on the sun visor. Only 100 units will be made and their owners will have exclusive access to the Alpine Elf Endurance Team facilities in 2024 and will be able to take a tour of the circuit. The price for all this is 142,000 euros in our country, where it is already on sale. https://noticias.coches.com/noticias-motor/alpine-a110-r-le-mans/493680
