I realise it\u2019s not a kitcar, but it is very specialist and I like it so it was always going in. It helps that I have always had a passion for proper French sportscars and the new Alpine A110 R is delicious.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The most hardcore \u2013 thus far \u2013 version of the new version of A110 has a suffixed \u2018R\u2019 which Alpine say stands for \u2018radical\u2019.<\/p>\n

Featuring revised styling for the bonnet, rear window and diffuser it is also 34kg lighter than the hitherto rangetopper, the A110 S not to mention around \u00a312,000 more expensive, too.<\/p>\n

The 1.8-litre Renault-built engine delivers a healthy 296bhp meaning the car is \u2018lively\u2019 and you can have it in any colour you like as long as it\u2019s in Racing Mat Blue. Prices are expected to start at \u00a370,000.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s an even more hardcore, track-focused version, of which just 32 examples will be built and that is the A110 R \u2018Fernando Alonso Tribute Edition\u2019 which as the name suggests celebrates the skills and achievements of the triple world F1 champion even though he has announced that he is leaving the Alpine F1 team at the end of this season. The man himself spent time setting the suspension up at the Barcelona circuit.<\/p>\n

Anything that is carbon is carbon on this one and prices start at around \u00a3140,000, but I expect they\u2019ll already be sold out by the time you read this.<\/p>\n

Owned by Renault, the new edition A110 models are made in France at the Manufacture Alpine Dieppe Jean R\u00e9d\u00e9l\u00e9 facility. You can find out more at www.alpine-cars.co.uk<\/a> ENDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
