The Alpine A110 Has Morphed Into A GT4 Racer

Want an Alpine A110 to take racing? Good news: you now have two cars to choose from. Following up the A110 Cup - which Alpine has created a one-make series around - we now have this A110 GT4.

The double wishbone suspension setup of the standard car has been retained, with the addition of race-spec springs and dampers. Beefier brakes have been supplied by Brembo, and the car now runs slick tyres. There’s a bigger wing at the back, a more aggressive splitter at the front, and a stripped-out interior with a racing bucket seat and a harness. Oh, and a fire extinguisher, should your race really go south.

It uses the same 1.8-litre turbocharged inline-four as the road car, only here, it’s been given “significant power upgrades” which haven’t been specified. We don’t have a power figure either, but Alpine has said that the A110 GT4’s power-to-weight ratio is 312bhp per tonne. Given that the standard, unstripped car tips the scales at 1080kg, that should give you a rough idea of the kind of boost the 242bhp stock engine has been given.

The car has been developed by French firm Signatech - Alpine’s “motorsport partner” - and will make its racing debut in 2019.

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Finally haha

Looks a little too low…
Or I’ve gone mad

I’m more concern about the steering circle to be honest

that’s quite a good power to weight ratio, now if only the normal version wouldn’t cost 50 000

the 50k is just for the premiere limited edition fully loaded. If you keep your buttcheeks and tiits calm, the base price would be around the high 30s or lower 40s in £.

I don’t care which tier costs how much. I want this in America. Please. It’s far better than a Cayman and isn’t as clinical.

The question is, when can we have one???

According to TopGear: Alpina is going to produce the GT4’s early 2019. Though prototypes will be found on race tracks this summer. Alpine can also modify your stock A110 into the A110 GT4 for € 40.000,— Euro, so you don’t have to buy it seperately.

I have heard from an Alpine salesman that you can sign up for a test drive…
