On the occasion of the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Alpine has unveiled the limited series A110 R Le Mans on the Circuit de la Sarthe. Based on the recently introduced Alpine A110 R, this limited series incorporates all carbon parts on the roof and wheels, as well as the cockpit with Sabelt Track monocoque bucket seats.
It maintains the 300 HP engine and presents a carbon spoiler that evokes the design of endurance racing cars and, specifically, that of the Alpine Elf Endurance Team. The use of lightweight components, already present in the A110 R, contributes to its high level of performance, achieving acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 285 km/h on the circuit.
A110 R Le Mans is recognizable by its unique traditional blue and white livery at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. A thin double blue line runs along the front hood, roof and rear spoiler which is complemented by the blue accents on the spoiler.
The carbon rims of this limited edition are distinguished by a blue rim, which are open at the rear for even greater braking resistance. The shark fin added to the carbon rear window contributes to straight-line aerodynamic performance and is a reference to the A480, the car with which the Alpine Elf Endurance Team will compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
This emblematic limited series receives the official signature of the 24 Hours of Le Mans on the front wings, on the side sills and on the headrests of the Sabelt Track seats. As icing on the cake, the 24 Hour circuit is subtly laser-engraved on the sun visor.
Finally, A110 R Le Mans is equipped with a numbered plate from the Dieppe factory with the official signature “24H Le Mans” to distinguish the 100 examples of this iconic A110 R version.
limited series A110 R Le Mans It is equipped with the ‘Road & Track’ system, an Alpine patented innovation that lowers the height of the car and stiffens the suspension by 5% for even greater stability on the track. This technical development, together with a specific suspension setting, improves performance on the circuit’s long straight (Hunaudières) and in the fast corners of the 24 Hour circuit.
Future A110 R Le Mans owners will join Alpine’s “Band of Racers”. They will have exclusive access to the Alpine Elf Endurance Team facilities in 2024 and will be able to take a lap of the circuit in its full configuration for an unforgettable experience in their A110 R Le Mans before the start of the race.
