Everyone loves the Alpine A110. The diminutive French car’s simplicity, lightweight and focus on pure driving feel has made it a firm favourite amongst enthusiasts around the world. Now, Alpine has updated its range to provide the A110 with more performance and it gets three distinct flavours that cater to a range of different drivers – the A110, A110 GT and A110 S.

The new Alpine A110 continues to get the same 1.8-litre turbo-petrol engine, but it now gets states of tune and is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. This engine in the base A110 variant produces 249bhp of power and 320Nm of torque. On the other hand, the GT and the sportier S variants get a higher state of tune, with the engine producing 296bhp of power and 340Nm of torque. In terms of performance, the A110 S is the fastest of the three trims, with a claimed 0-100kmph time of 4.2 seconds. One must also note that the A110 weighs just 1102 kgs unladen in the lightest variant, thanks to Alpine’s focus on weight.
