Alpine A110R Fernando Alonso Edition

A few days after the official presentation of the Alpine A110 R in Tokyo, the same week as the Japanese Grand Prix at the Suzuka circuit, a special series of the French sports car appears, under the name of Fernando Alonso Edition.

Thus, the Spanish driver, who will change teams next season (will go to Aston Martin), receives a beautiful tribute from Dieppe's company. This edition is limited to 32 copies. The number of victories achieved by the driver in F1.

This A110 R Fernando Alonso adds to the most extreme version of the French sports car (the R stands for 'radical'), with specific adjustments, in particular in terms of chassis. Thus, the shock absorbers can be modified in height, to reduce ground clearance by 10 millimeters compared to the A110 S, and in firmness, up to 5% stiffer.

The Fernando Alonso Edition version of the French two-seater model includes some aesthetic modifications: the blue of the F1 single-seater, called Bleu Racing Mat, is back, and the hood is not completely black. In addition, a dark rear stripe between the taillights debuts.

In terms of mechanics, the 1.8 TCe engine with 300 hp and 340 Nm of torque remains from the A110 R, which also equips the GT and S versions. less on the scale. Like the A110 R, the Fernando Alonso Edition weighs 1,082 kilograms in running order.

Since the A110 R is already very expensive in France, 105,000 euros, the price of the A110 R Fernando Alonso goes out of logic: 148,000 euros. It's the cost of exclusivity for the most expensive Alpine in history. This car will definitely appreciate in value over time.
