On June 7, 2023, to mark the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Alpine launched its limited edition A110 R Le Mans on the circuit of the legendary race driven by Sophia Floersch in the presence of 100 Alpine owners.
The A110 R Le Mans is an expression of competition with a 300 hp engine, a weight of 1 kg, an acceleration of 082 to 0 km/h in 100 seconds, and a top speed of 3,9 km/h on track, and featuring a patented setting " Hunaudieres » for much more stability on the circuit. The unique white and blue livery pays homage to the iconic colors of Le Mans. A delicate double blue line embellishes the carbon elements. The A110 R Le Mans adopts the basic and essential standards of this endurance sport, such as the bucket seats or the shark fins on the carbon fiber rear window.
Alpine will begin taking orders for this iconic limited edition series at Alpine Centers in France on June 8, 2023, at a price of €140 including tax.
The A110 R Le Mans writes the new page in a long history that brings together two French icons in motorsport.
Alpine, with its limited edition A110 R Le Mans, pays tribute to the world's greatest endurance race on the occasion of its centenary. Since its founder Jean Rédélé in the 1960s, the brand has been immersed in endurance racing until its famous victory at theA442 in 1978. Alpine gained ground in endurance with Signatech in LMP2 and LMP1 and has resolutely committed to the future by tackling the new Hypercar LMDh category in 2024.
« Alpine presents the A110 R Le Mans en énergie on the 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit on the occasion of the 100th anniversarye anniversary of the competition, accompanied by 100 Alpine owners. Limited to 100 units, this iconic limited edition follows in the legendary footsteps of its ancestor GTA Le Mans, combining sophisticated aerodynamics with a phenomenal power-to-weight ratio, like the first Alpine M63 entered at Le Mans in 1963. The A110 R Le Mans is the most aggressive of the A110s, celebrating the most radical competition " explains Emmanuel Al Nawakil, Alpine Sales, Network and Launch Director.
Performance for a radical racing vision born from competition
Based on the A110 R, it features all carbon fiber components in the roof, wheels, and cabin with Sabelt® Track monocoque bucket seats. Beyond that, there's a carbon wing that evokes the style of enduro racing cars, reminiscent of the design of the Alpine Elf Endurance Team's A480. The use of lightweight components already featured on the A110 R contributes to this kind of high performance, with an acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in 3,9 seconds and a top speed of 285 km/h on track.
The limited edition A110 R Le Mans is equipped with a wedge Road & Track (road and track), an innovation patented by Alpine that allows the car to be stiffened and lowered by 5%, making it even more stable on the track. This technological development, combined with specific suspension settings, improves performance on the long straight of the " Hunaudieres » and in the fast bends of the 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit.
Bold and aerodynamic hyper-sport design at the 24 Hours of Le Mans® Circuit
The A110 R Le Mans is distinguished by its distinctive white and blue livery characteristic of the 24 Hours of Le Mans®. A delicate double blue line adorns the front hood, roof, and rear wing, a reference to the race, and is complemented by blue winglets. The carbon fiber wheels are surrounded by a blue border and are open at the rear for improved braking endurance, while the shark fin added to the carbon rear window is a reference to the A480 that competed at the start of the 24 Hours of Le Mans®.
This iconic limited edition features the official 24 Hours of Le Mans signature on the front fenders, side sills, and microfiber headrest pads of the Sabelt® Track bucket seats. As a final nod, the 24-hour race route is cleverly laser-etched on the sun visor.
Finally, the A110 R Le Mans sports a numbered plaque from the Dieppe factory bearing the official signature “24H Le Mans®” to further distinguish the 100 examples of this emblematic version of the A110 R.
An extraordinary Alpine experience in the A110 R Le Mans
Future owners of the A110 R Le Mans will join the " Band of Racers » from Alpine. They will be able to benefit from exclusive access to the Alpine Elf Endurance facilities in 2024 and will be able to take a full lap of the track in their A110 R Le Mans car for an unforgettable experience on race morning.
