The Alpine A110 is a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car introduced by French car manufacturer Alpine at the 87th Geneva International Motor Show in March 2017.
Deliveries began in late 2017 for Continental European markets and in 2018 for the UK, Japan and Australia. Both its name and design refer back to the original Alpine A110 that was produced from 1961 to 1977. Production ended in June 2026, as Alpine was readying the plant for the A110's all-electric successor.
Specifications
Based on an all-aluminium construction, the A110 is powered by a Nissan-derived 1.8-litre turbocharged gasoline direct injection 4 valves per cylinder inline-four engine mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission manufactured by Getrag. Developed by Renault–Nissan and reworked by Alpine engineers, the engine has an output of at 6,000 rpm and of torque at 2,000–5,000 rpm. According to Alpine, the A110 can accelerate from in 4.5 seconds, and has an electronically limited top speed of .
The A110 was initially available in three trims: Pure, Première, and Legende. The Pure cars, the base trim, have 17-inch alloy wheels. The Première trim cars are technically the launch edition models limited to 1,955 units and were equipped with amenities such as forged alloy wheels, quilted leather Sabelt bucket sports seats, a reversing camera, and metallic blue exterior colour as standard. The Legende trim cars come with six-way adjustable sports seats, black or brown leather interior upholstery, an upgraded hi-fi sound system, and specially designed wheels exclusive to this trim. All of the three trims share the same powertrain and transmission.
For the 2020 model year, The Pure trim level was replaced by the Alpine A110, with no other badging. The Légende was replaced by the Alpine A110 GT which employed the same engine as the A110 S.
A110 S
Introduced in June 2019, the A110 S is a high performance and lightweight variant of the A110. The A110 S benefits from increased power output (from ) from its 1.8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine as well as stiffer springs, new anti-rollbars, dampers, and high performance brakes. The ride height is lowered by and the car is fitted with special Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres having a stickier compound contributing to more grip on the tarmac.
The engine was retuned and a larger turbocharger installed. The peak power is achieved at 1400 rpm higher than the standard engine. The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission remains unchanged. The new springs and anti-roll bars are respectively 50 and 100 percent stiffer than the standard car. The ESC system has also been retuned to improve handling and comes with a full-defeat mode.
Aesthetic changes include flag motifs, orange brake calipers and optional matte grey paintwork and lighter Fuchs alloy wheels. An optional carbon fibre roof with a gloss finish reduces from the total weight of the car which is .

A110 R
The Alpine A110 R (which stands for "Radical") is a track-focused version that debuted on 4 October 2022, featuring a redesigned body kit and a more aggressive chassis setup.

The A110 R features a generous use of carbon fiber components, contributing to a weight reduction of 34 kilograms (75 pounds) and bringing the total weight down to 1,082 kilograms (2,385 pounds). Among the carbon fiber components are the hood with dual air ducts, the 18-inch wheels, the engine cover, and the Sabelt Track monocoque seats. Performance improvements include a 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) sprint time of 3.9 seconds, which is three-tenths of a second faster than the A110 S, and a top speed of 177 mph (285 km/h). Additionally, the A110 R features a stiffer suspension setup with adjustable dampers, allowing the ground clearance to be lowered by 10 millimeters (0.4 inches), and Brembo brakes with improved cooling. The dual exhaust system has been upgraded with a double wall produced using 3D printing to better isolate exhaust gases
In 2024, Alpine revealed the A110R Ultime, which they announced would be the final all petrol-powered Alpine. It featured even more excessive carbon fibre components. Power was upgraded to 345bhp and performance upgrades resulted in a 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) sprint time of 3.8 seconds. The top speed was maintained at 177 mph (285 km/h), only 110 A110 Ultimes were built, 15 of which were the bespoke LeBleu Editions.

Future development
In January 2021, Alpine signed an MoU with Lotus Cars for the development of the next generation A110, which was intended to enter production by 2025. The deal with Lotus was canceled by mutual agreement in May 2023, the two firms agreeing to pursue development of their respective flagship sportscars separately.
In June 2021, Alpine (encompassing the recently renamed Renault Sport and Renault Formula One divisions) announced that its thirty-year partnership with BorgWarner would continue for the production of future Alpine powertrains. In addition to the next model of the A110 to be developed in partnership with Lotus, a B-segment compact sports car based on the CMF-B EV and a C-segment sports cross-over based on the CMF-EV were mentioned. BorgWarner's 2019 acquisition of Delphi Technologies has led to speculation that the next A110 may feature Delphi's silicon carbide inverter with a 800V traction pack, rather than a more common 400V system.
In December 2024, Alpine announced that the release of the third-generation Alpine A110 would be delayed until 2026 but that, at 1,450 kg (3,200 lbs), it would be lighter than comparable combustion vehicles while maintaining a 563 km (350 mile) range.
In October 2025, it was announced that only 1,750 more of the second-generation gasoline-powered A110s would be produced, ending in mid-2026 when the third-generation Alpine Performance Platform (APP)-based 800V A110s are slated to begin shipping.
