Blimey, that looks pretty intense. Correct. This is the Alpine A110R – the ultimate version of the little French sports car and the one with the hardest core. Looks like those sit-ups have paid off. The diet has too, because although the standard A110 is already a lightweight, the R is barely-there. It weighs just 1,082kg, meaning around 34kg has been extracted using an array of carbon fibre bits, a special R exhaust with 3D printed tips and a distinct lack of sound deadening.
We love the standard A110, but does a five-point harness mean this one is taking itself too seriously?
