New alpine a110s 288bhp.......

[hotwheels23]

Just when we were digesting the a110 they bring out an s version with 288bhp and option of a carbon roof, lower meaner and faster.......WANT!!!

I wouldn't get too excited about the "faster". They have trimmed 0.1sec off 0-60, and the overtaking 80-120 kph time remains the same. Not radical then. A few cynics on the French owners site have suggested this is a price hike rather than a performance increase. The new suspension setup will help track behaviour, but after living with my Pure for 3 months now, not sure I'd want even stiffer springs on my crappy local roads. Happy with what I have!

Looks very nice, however I'd prefer the "slower" A110 Premier Edition in blue, looks nicer to me. Hopefully one day there is an Alpine A110 Trophy R to rival the Porsche 718 GT4, sounds like it would be very fun. However looking at the cost of the new Megane Trophy R, very expensive.

The new A110S was at the Hampton Court Concours D'Elegance at the weekend.
Personally I am not a fan of the orange or the matte grey paintwork.

They are going to be at Manchester Alpine tomorrow and Tuesday if anyone wants to see one.

Personally I am very happy with my Premier Edition but if I was doing track days maybe the S would be more appealing.

Me neither, and if you want a blue one the orange stitching and calipers don't go well with paintwork. The fact that you HAVE to pay extra for a premium colour - there is no plain white option - is a bit cheeky imo.

I saw the Matt Grey at Manchester on Monday, it does look good but everyone going to think it's been wrapped.

They could do with some more colour options though to tempt people away from the Alpine Blue.

I like the look of Matt Grey, but its probably a sod to keep clean. My push-bike has matt paint and it's not a paint finish I'd choose again - even if it didn't cost the earth to specify it.
