Finally, the teasing has ended. I heard some rumors about an extreme Alpine some months ago. And what I just read was conform to what I heard: An Alpine with 34 kilos removed, and some carbon parts here and there. And that the power would not change ( 300...
...kind of odd setting it in Japan, but still really cool. This might be a bit hard-core for a daily driver. It's too bad they don't sell this brand in the U.S. It's a really beautiful car : )
Yes, a bit hard core due to the lack of rear view because of the carbon rear glass... But other than that, even if the suspensions are tougher, I think it is doable to drive in on a daily basis. Best, mon ami. Nicolas
Its great the manufacturers are taking cars to the extreme and almost embracing the modder culture by offering OEM alternatives. Maybe I'm getting old but I guess I'm not that extreme anymore, I like that this exists but I'd rather have a more street frie...
Though I'm getting soft and starting to like interior upgrades. I can't see exposed carbon fiber if I'm driving the car but little interior trim upgrades are nice when sitting in traffic.
A red burgundy leather for the seats and steering wheel, and a grey Alcantara for the door panels and the roof... And that's it! The only thing I am still debating is ultra light wheels... Best, Nicolas

What is the price of the A110 R on the road with taxes in France? The price of the Corvette C8 Z06 starts at around $110,000 USD before options and taxes in USA. Depending on the state, taxes can differ, but in California, taxes are typically around 9% an...
As for the wheels I think there must be a technical reason why they did this, probably the rear wheels get more of a beating than the ones on the front axle ... design wise it's cool to have different wheels but it would have been nicer if they were equal...
The Alonso, you will pay it 43 K euros more for a different setting of the suspensions ( which I don't really care as those of the R are enough for me, and I prefer having my own setting ), and for some aesthetic differences which I don't like ( the rear ...
For the moment .. and the coming years .. it simply doesn't fit my purposes or way of living .... and then there still is the 205 GTI to be considered ;-)
