The Alpine A110 R Le Mans Arrives To Celebrate 100 Years Of Le Mans

Alpine A110 R Le Mans arrives to celebrate 100 years of the legendary endurance race.

Alpine, a renowned name in endurance racing, celebrates its centenary with the A110 R Le Mans limited series. This exceptional vehicle pays homage to the world’s most prestigious endurance race, marking Alpine’s enduring involvement in the sport since the 1960s.

With a rich history of victories, Alpine is now looking ahead by venturing into the new LMDh Hypercar category from 2024.

Performance: Unleash the Radical Racing Vision

Building upon the A110 R model, the Alpine A110 R Le Mans boasts a radical racing vision. Featuring carbon components on the roof, wheels, and interior, as well as monocoque Sabelt Track bucket seats, this limited series offers an unparalleled driving experience.

The incorporation of a carbon wing adds a touch of endurance racing car style while paying tribute to the Alpine Elf Endurance Team’s A480 design. The use of lightweight materials enhances performance, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100kph in just 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 285 kph on the track.

Innovative Design: Boldness and Aerodynamics at its Finest

The Alpine A110 R Le Mans stands out with its exclusive white and blue 24 Heures du Mans livery, reminiscent of the iconic endurance race. A sleek double line of blue and white adorns the front bonnet, roof, and rear wing, paying homage to the world of racing.

Blue fins and a distinctive blue piping strip on the carbon wheels add a touch of sophistication. The open design of the carbon wheels at the rear enhances braking endurance, while the shark fin on the carbon rear window is a nod to the A480’s participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

This emblematic limited series proudly showcases the official 24 Hours of Le Mans signature on the front spoilers, side sills, and microfiber headrest pads of the Sabelt Track bucket seats. To further emphasize the Le Mans connection, the layout of the 24 Hours circuit is laser-engraved on the sun visor, adding a subtle touch of distinction.
