Alpine A110 R Ultime demonstrates the best of Alpine’s expertise
London, February 07, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –––The A110 R Ultime was born in the Alpine engineering department. Given the extreme specifications in terms of sporting performance, the project was initially expected to remain at the prototype stage. However, it was not long before these considerations were swept aside by an overwhelming desire to create a unique, emotionally charged vehicle for ultimate performance enthusiasts. The car was designed around two major focal points: sporting performance and exclusive appeal.
The engineers were convinced that they could create an advanced-performance road car by drawing on Alpine’s strengths – such as lightweight and aerodynamic design – and the expertise acquired in developing an F1 car, in order to boost performance without adding excessive horsepower. The team was also able to draw on eight years of experience in high-level racing in the GT4 series.
Built in just 110 examples, the A110 R Ultime is not only a car of unique sporting qualities. It is also a real opportunity for the brand to develop its expertise with a programme of ultra-personalisation. For the first time, Alpine is giving customers the opportunity to be part of a real co-creation process: the Atelier Sur-Mesure or bespoke workshop programme.
Assembled at the Jean Rédélé Alpine plant in the brand’s home city of Dieppe, the A110 R Ultime is the ultimate in performance, refinement and exclusive styling by Alpine. The pinnacle reached by this version of the A110 will leave an indelible trace on the design of future vehicles, starting with the electric A110 expected in late 2026.
The aerodynamics have been reworked, with a 160 kg increase in downforce compared with the A110 R. Optimised for track use, the vehicle features a front splitter with a flexible lip, fins on the front bumper and endplates on the rear bumper. The modified cooling system relies on two vents on the bonnet which push the air upwards. Completing the improvements are a spoiler and adjustable biplane rear wing, as well as a ducktail on the beltline.
The engine gains new forged pistons and new connecting rods borrowed from the world of motorsports. The turbocharger has been optimised with a rebored casing and a new compressor wheel. Mapping has been optimised for a 102 RON octane rating, boosting the output of the A110 R Ultime to 345 bhp or 254 kW (or 325 bhp based on 98 RON), with peak power reached at 6,000 rpm. With its DCT6 gearbox, the A110 R Ultime delivers maximum torque of 420 Nm from 3,200 rpm, 80 Nm more than the A110 R Turini, for an equivalent weight of 3.2 kg/bhp.
The results speak for themselves: the A110 R Ultime is around 20 seconds faster than the A110 R on the legendary Nordschleife circuit, placing it in a category of sports cars that are generally far more powerful.
