New Alpine A110: What I like a lot, and what I less like...
Let's start with the good surprises:
- The new Heritage Color, which is a free option and a magnificent " Orange Coral " .
- The revisited block of instruments ( Carplay, GPS, Cell phone, Audio ) which is way much better than the former one.
- The front carbon lip, which I find very nice.
- The new A 110 GT, blending comfort and performances.
- The fact that then engine has a bit more power on the GT and S versions, and more torque. ( +8 HP / + 20 Nm ). A difference you should feel, as the performances are, on the paper, much better ( 4, 2 secs from 0 to 100 Kilometers per hour, 22, 4 secs for 1000 meters, 275 Km/h max speed instead of 4, 4 secs / 22, 8 secs and 260 Km/h.
- The superb dinamica ( a kind of synthetic Alcantara ) option.
- The Semi Slick tires option ( Michelin Cup ) which is very reasonably priced ( 740 Euros for the set of 4 tires ).
- The orange belts!
The less good surprises are:
- The fact that you cannot just buy the front carbon lip, but the whole set ( lip plus rear spoiler )
- The rear spoiler: I am not very sure, to say the least, that it is so pleasant to see... To be checked in the real...
With or without the aerodynamic option?
- The cost of this option: 5700 Euros.
- The price of the full dinamica option ( 1600 Euros )
- The fact that if you go for almost all options, you are close to 90, 000 Euros, while the basic price of the S is 71500 Euros ( 69, 500 for the GT ).
I think I can do better with my A110, for much less. But this Orange Corail Heritage Paint, the new front carbon lip and the all dinamica options are very much my taste!
Best,
Nicolas

Not a fan of the rear spoiler
Looks better without in my opinion. The color reminds me a bit of orange tictac, albeit in a deeper shade, almost DDE orange Just waiting for the final edition with the 6 speed manual, l'espoir fait vivre!
That interior is killer and well worth the asking price, IMO.
As for the carbon? Well, the problem here is the style of that spoiler is not appropriate on the car. The car is so wonderfully shaped - sensual in shape - and that big, awkward wing ruins it. Not a design match at all. You know I am thirsting for the Cad...
I prefer this 'sedate' spoiler also...
...btw congrats on the Caddy...from all I've read it is an amazing car. Post info when you get it...
Thanks and will do.
I'm afraid it will be a while. The brand is really backed up on production. My order has been in almost 10 weeks now, but nothing has happened. I would be thrilled to receive it next April after winter, but fear it could be a good bit longer. I did of cou...
I like that!
On the front air splitter - maybe you can order that single part separately for your car?
I like the look of the front lip a lot, it gives the front end a lower look and the rear spoiler is not bad either.
It would be a pity to buy the package and use only the front one!
Without aerodynamic option !
That orange color is superb … i’d go for gold wheels 😀 ...
Actually both, but …
.. with a slight preferance for the heritage …. 😅 sooooo expensive.
Strangely, the new Heritage Color is not orange coral, as previously said in my post, but they changed it for Yellow.
If you want orange, you will have to go for the special orange sanguine ( 4800 Euros... Ouch! ) or the new Orange called fire, but not for free: 1850 Euros, as an option. ...
