3 Introduction

• Alpine is back with the A110 Première Edition sports coupé • True to Alpine DNA - lightweight, agile and a pleasure to drive • Première Edition launch model fully reserved within five days • A110 Pure is driver-focused; A110 Légende has GT character

Alpine returns with the all-new , a lightweight, elegant sports coupé. True to Alpine’s DNA, the A110 places absolute agility and driving pleasure front and centre, without compromising on everyday comfort.

Designed and manufactured in the mid-engined, two-seater coupé features aluminium construction to keep weight to a minimum and sophisticated double wishbone suspension. The A110 is powered by a turbocharged 1.8-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which develops 252PS (248bhp). Like all Alpines, it’s rear-wheel drive. The first new model for two decades, the A110 marks the relaunch of Alpine. Conceived as a standalone business unit within Groupe , Alpine has an ambitious long-term strategy that invokes the vision and determination of its founder, Jean Rédélé.

Alpine launched its new model with the Première Edition. Limited to 1,955 examples – a nod to the year Alpine was founded – the A110 Première Edition was fully reserved within five days of going on sale in December 2016. The production series A110, in Pure and Légende trims, followed in June 2018.

The A110 Pure focuses on the driver/machine connection and has a minimalist approach. Lightweight, it has 13.1kg monocoque seats and 17-inch light-alloy wheels, resulting in the A110 Pure weighing as little as 1,098kg.

Displaying the character of a GT, the A110 Légende is the more sophisticated and refined edition of the A110. Its distinguishing features include six-way adjustable seats in black or brown leather and a Focal audio system. It is in that same spirit that Alpine today competes in international endurance racing. As well as a rich heritage in building agile, Its title-winning FIA LMP2 World Endurance lightweight sports cars that are in their Championship programme showcases the brand’s element on winding mountain roads, Alpine is ambition and commitment to motorsport.

Both were 1978 . developed in partnership with Alpine’s racing partner, Signatech, which also runs the Alpine Europa Cup.

The passion for Alpine, both within Groupe Renault and among enthusiasts, is huge. Now, Alpine is back.

With the new A110, the Alpine team has taken the core principles that made Alpine so successful in the Sixties and Seventies: compact size, light weight and very low centre of gravity. Such principles have been deployed/applied with modern technologies to offer a car that is an absolute pleasure to drive on country roads or on the track, but also very comfortable to drive every day.

It is Alpine’s mission to become an established and permanent fixture in the sports car segment. 5 Relaunching Alpine

The A110 is manufactured at Alpine’s factory Now available as the A110 Pure and the A110 Légende, in Dieppe, northern France. Originally built by Alpine is carving its own clear niche in the sports car Alpine-founder Jean Rédélé in 1969, the Dieppe segment.

It is sold through dedicated dealerships Now, Alpine production returns to Dieppe and – some 57 in Europe alone – by highly trained advisors. as part of the relaunch, the factory was heavily upgraded and modernised. Since announcing the relaunch of Alpine, the re- sponse has been huge. Even though Alpine went away for 20 years there is still so much passion and enthusiasm for it, not only in France, but all over the world, too.

When the return of Alpine was announced, a design language was developed that would do justice to the original models, while also demon- strating our ambition and modernity. A technical concept was then developed – one of lightweight construction and absolute driving pleasure – that would make the new car stand out in the sports car segment.

A decision was made that Alpine should be a dedicated business unit with its own designers and engineers. These very passionate and skilled individuals were to be completely dedicated to Alpine, to work closely together in agile, respon- In 2012, at the beginning of the project, a new sive teams.

This is an was used to build Alpines previously. The whole unusual approach, but is the reason for the very setup and culture there is still geared around strong design of the A110. low-volume, high-quality, sporty cars. Employee motivation is very high at Dieppe and the team there is very proud to wear the Alpine logo.

A lot of thought and investment has been put into the factory - which is set up for production numbers in single digit thousands each year - to bring it up to the level Alpine requires in terms of fit and finish, consistency and quality control.

Starting from a blank sheet of paper also meant engineers could create a dedicated platform. One of the big objectives for the A110 was to ‘feel at one’ – the driver should feel at one with the machine, meaning the centre of gravity and the roll centre have to be very low in the car, which is only possible with a dedicated platform.

A weight target was set for the car of 1100kg, which is very difficult to achieve, and is why aluminium was used for the chassis and body. The final result, just 1098kg (1103kg for the Première Edition), means Alpine achieved its objective of making the A110 one of the lightest cars in its class. 7 Additional weight saving measures include alu- minium suspension components, very lightweight Technical Sabelt sports seats that weigh just 13.1kg each and, in a world first application, Brembo brakes that incorporate the parking brake into the main Details rear caliper. This alone saves 2.5kg.

• Lightweight aluminium construction • Double wishbone suspension all round • Mid-mounted 252PS (248bhp) turbocharged engine • Absolute agility and driving pleasure combined with everyday comfort

Aluminium construction

Lightweight, agile and rewarding to drive, the A110 is above all else a true Alpine. Designed from a blank sheet it has been engineered to thrill and engage the driver at all speeds, prioritising driving pleasure above lap times and outright power. It does this without compromising on everyday comfort, and it can Advanced double wishbone suspension be enjoyed by drivers at all levels of experience or ability. As well as the lightweight construction, the A110 owes its agility to the all-round double wishbone suspension layout. Whereas most cars in the pre- mium sports car segment use simpler strut-type suspension systems, Alpine’s engineers favoured a double wishbone arrangement for the multi- tude of ride and handling advantages it confers.

Its lightweight construction, low roll centre and perfect weight distribution allow the driver to feel at one with the machine.

The three driving modes are Normal, Sport and Track. As the driver switches up through the modes such parameters as throttle response, steering assistance, gearshift speeds, exhaust sound and stability control intervention are all adapted to deliver a sharper, more thrilling and more emotional driving experience. The 10-inch digital TFT display within the instrument binnacle also changes with each driving mode, favouring the rev counter, gear display and gear shift lights in Sport and Track.

With the chassis working so effectively to gener- ate cornering grip, the engineers have been able to fit relatively modest tyres. The Pilot Sport 4 tyres measure 205/40 R18 at the front and 235/40 R18 at the rear. They are mounted on forged 18-inch Otto Fuchs wheels, which reduce unsprung weight. The modest tyres, meanwhile, ensure the A110 has very progressive breakaway characteristics. This makes the car fun and re- warding to drive even at low and medium speeds for drivers at all levels of ability.

This functionality also extends to even the con- tainer of the windscreen washer fluid. The liquid is sprayed, via the wiper blade itself directly onto the screen, which provides a better cleaning result with less liquid being used. This means a smaller fluid tank has been fitted, saving around 2kg. High level of standard equipment

Inspired by the original A110 Berlinette, Alpine’s most iconic model, the A110 forms a link between the brand’s heritage and its future. Led by Frenchman Antony Villain, the design team set out to capture the spirit of Alpine in the new car while also creating a design language that would stand the test of time.

The twin front headlights, sculpted flanks, distinctive bonnet spine and wraparound rear screen are clearly borrowed from the A110 Berlinette, while the LED running lights and ‘X’- shaped LED taillights, with dynamic turn indica- tors, hint at the car’s modern day engineering and performance. The single, graceful line that flows from the very front of the car to the rear, meanwhile, is a signature Alpine design fea- ture. With very few technical restraints to work around and an open design brief, the designers were able to realise a beautiful, elegant shape that’s instantly recognisable as an Alpine. ‘The first thing I did when we started on the project in 2012 was to organise a workshop. I took my team to visit the Jean Rédélé Collection in Paris, where 30 or so classic Alpines are stored - A110s, A310s, Le Mans cars and so on. I asked my designers to sketch each car very quickly, in just 30 seconds. The idea was to capture the main features of an Alpine, to discover the DNA and mood of the brand.

‘That’s how we identified the important elements - the headlamps, the spine over the bonnet and the sculpted sides, and also the single line that runs from the front to the rear and the very low tail section with the wide wheel arches, which gives a very specific stance. All of those features are on the A110 today, which helps to make the car a true Alpine.’

The A110 also comes equipped with MySpin mobile phone connectivity, which ‘mirrors’ the driver’s smartphone to allow safe and simple use when on the move, further underlining the car’s day-to-day usability.

Antony Villain, head of design at Alpine, com- ments: ‘As a car enthusiast, designing a new Alpine was a dream opportunity. The A110 Berlinette is such an iconic car that it was natural to use it as a reference for the new model. We wondered; if the A110 never went away, if this new car was the sixth or seventh generation A110, what would it look like? It was important to make the link to the past, but the design also has to look to the future of Alpine and reflect the car’s modernity.

15 History of Alpine

• Founded by Frenchman Jean Rédélé in 1955 • Original A110 Berlinette launched in 1962 • Dieppe factory built in 1969 • Alpine acquired by Groupe Renault in 1973

Alpine owes its existence to one man - Jean sports car company in 1955. He chose the name Rédélé. Born in 1922 in Dieppe, France, Rédélé Alpine in tribute to the Critérium des Alpes rally was a lifelong car enthusiast and a gifted driver - scene of his greatest competitive achievement and mechanic. He studied in Paris as a young to date - which was staged in the Alps mountain man before establishing a car dealership in range in the south of France each year. his home town, selling . A keen and competitive rally driver, Rédélé entered his The tight, twisty Alpine roads gave Rédélé not CV in various motorsport events only his company’s name; they also determined throughout the early Fifties, upgrading his car the fundamental set of technical principles that with each passing year. would define every Alpine car. Rédélé recognised that it wasn’t outright power or brute force that Rédélé achieved a series of class wins in famous made a car quick on a twisty rally stage, but light motorsport events such as the Mille Miglia road weight, compact dimensions and agility. race and the Critérium des Alpes rally (also known as Coupe des Alpes). Having identified His first car was the , which was a gap in the market, and encouraged by his based on the Renault 4 CV chassis. In 1958 his motorsport successes, Rédélé established his second car, the A108, arrived with a chassis all of its own, but it wasn’t until the A110 Berlinette debuted in 1962 that his fledgling company really began to find its feet. By now Alpine and Renault were close collaborators, Alpine cars being sold and serviced by Renault dealerships.

By the early Seventies, Alpine was a major force in top-flight rally competition. In 1971 Alpine won the world famous Rallye Monte Carlo for the first time, then again in 1973. The company went on to win the Manufacturers’ title later that year, its finest achievement to date. Rédélé’s company had well and truly arrived.

All the while, Alpine’s road car sales were growing. Rédélé built a dedicated factory in Dieppe in 1969 - the same facility that is producing the all-new A110 today - and in 1971 the replacement for A110, the A310, entered production. Two years later, Alpine was acquired by Groupe Renault. Alpine achieved its most famous motorsport Alpine models in historic motorsport events.

Demonstrably, motorsport is a core ladder for Alpine racers component of Alpine’s DNA.

In fact, it’s true to say the company was as much a builder of competition cars as road-going sports cars when it was founded by Rédélé in 1955. The Frenchman had already earned himself a reputa- tion as a formidable driver, thanks to a series of class victories in high-profile events such as the Critérium des Alpes rally. Campaigning modified Renault 4 CVs, Rédélé quickly proved his ability to prepare cars for motorsport, too.

By the early Sixties Alpine cars were competing throughout Europe in rallies and road races, as well as on purpose-built race circuits. In 1963 the aero- dynamic, long-tail M63 prototype - the company’s first dedicated circuit racer - won the French sports car championship. The following year the improved Proving the performance, agility and durability M64 prototype managed the same feat, as well as of his cars in the crucible of motorsport was of clinching a class victory at Le Mans. utmost importance to Jean Rédélé. Alpine has competed at the highest level of rallying and circuit racing for decades, recording a string of famous victories that belies the company’s modest size. With that same ambitious and determined spirit Alpine today competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship. The one-make Alpine Europa Cup, meanwhile, demonstrates the A110’s inherent agility and performance on the race track.

In 2018 the new Alpine A110 GT4 car was re- vealed at the Geneva International Motor Show. Eligible for the SRO European GT4 Series, the international Creventic 24 Hour series and many one-off races such as the Spa 24 Hours, the A110 GT4 will be seen competing around the globe at many of the world’s most famous circuits.

It was in 1978 that Alpine recorded one of its most celebrated motorsport successes. Driving the A442B sports prototype, Didier Pironi and Jean-Pierre Jaussaud won the 24 Hours of Le Mans, lapping the 8-mile Circuit de la Sarthe 369 times. By the mid-Nineties, Alpine had racked up 26 domestic and international rally titles, four ral- lycross championships and six single-seater titles.

Using those decades of success as a springboard, Alpine returned to front-line motorsport in 2013 in a collaboration with French race stable Signat- ech. It immediately proved to be a triumphant return to racing; the marque’s A450 prototype won the European Le Mans Series title at its first attempt, and again in 2014.

19 Additionally, Alpine has created a one-make series for the A110 Cup. In the inaugural season Alpine A110 Cup in 2018 the six-round series took in some of the most iconic circuits in Europe, including A racing version of the A110, the A110 Cup, was Silverstone in the UK and Spa-Francorchamps developed by Signatech in close partnership with in .

The series allows Motorsport is in Alpine’s DNA; the marque has amateur racers to become an important part of achieved so much in racing over the years and Alpine’s motorsport story. that story has continued by winning the European Le Mans Series and the LMP2 FIA World Endurance Championship. enabling them to compete in the Alpine Cup one season and progress to the GT4 category the Alpine A110 GT4 following year, all with the same car.

These figures are specific for a vehicle type and not for a single car. Real world fuel (actual) consumption can vary as the fuel efficiency of a vehicle is influenced by driving behaviour, weather and road conditions. The use of technical equipment for example air conditioning, can also effect the fuel consumption.
