This means that the engine, which has been optimized with higher boost pressure, revs another 400 rpm higher than the Légende and Pure versions. The power-to-weight ratio rises from 4.3 to 4.5 kilograms per hp to 3.8 kilograms. The A 110S accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and has a top speed of 260 km/h.
Lowering by four millimeters
Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via the familiar seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The chassis has been adapted to the higher performance. The S is four millimeters lower and the sports chassis has been retuned.
Both the springs and the anti-roll bars, which are hollow for weight reasons but still stiffer, are designed for even greater steering precision. Coil springs that are 50 percent stiffer and dampers tuned accordingly complete the chassis upgrade.
Orange brake calipers and leather upholstery
Externally, the Alpine A 110S is recognizable by its orange-painted brake calipers, specially designed GT Race wheels and carbon-fiber-look flag logos on the rear pillar.
The interior is dominated by black leather upholstery with orange contrast stitching, which is also found on the dashboard, center console and door panels.
The Alpine A 110S can be pre-booked now. Base price: from 74,800 Swiss francs. The first vehicles should arrive at Alpine centers in Switzerland before the end of the year.
