Alpine A110 configurations.
They launched 4 new colors at Alpine, for the A110, with a possibility to choose your interior, in combination with these new colors.
The problem is that you cannot choose your interior outside these new colors. Which is a bit sad, because I would have really loved to have the possibility to go for a new interior as an option for my Alpine.
I will have to find another solution, which is a work in progress.
The new " body colors ":
Seismic Red:
Blue matte storm:
Black Carbon matte:
Acid Green Matte:
Now the interiors, available only for these new colors ( and the grey matte ).
Funny, the orange with orange seat belts!
My favorite:
And now, my absolute favorite: The Red Alcantara, on the R carbon seats:
Which would go very well in the Seismic Red A 110 Turini:
With its Akaprovic Titanium exhaust!
In the very first days of October, I will give my Alpine a new series of improvements...
Stay tuned!
Best,
Nicolas

Those interiors....
are even cooler than the exterior! Yes, the alcantara on carbon is fantastic!
Acrapovic makes exhausts for nearly all brands.
At least for the sporty models, titanium for expensive cars and stainless steel (but still very high quality) for cars like Renault.
I am sucker for HP/Kg, anything lighter go for it.
Wheel, exhaust, disc/caliper, suspension, seat, engine/trunk, body panel anything
Brake calipers... Some special ones. You gain 3, 6 kilos and they are much more performant. The other thing is the suspension kit. I didn't find what I really want right now, but the budget will explode.
Well, at the end, less expensive than a A110R or Turini, more performant, more character, less extreme, and way lighter. But still, that is a budget!
Ohlins?
Disc brake and caliper you have to measure. I believe you can go even smaller/lighter (slightly bigger than standard or equal size with better disc and just the right size but better caliper to be effective ,especially considering a110 size and weight. Pe...
As for disc brakes, I had the original ones, small, 296 mm. I know the bigger ones, which are OEM, too, in 320 mm. I have the 330 mm, on bowl. Lighter, too, even lighter than the small ones.
I can tell you it is a huge difference, the 330 mm ones, compare to the small ones. As I I 50 more HP, it was mandatory. The calipers are from AP Racing, and hyper efficient. I tried them on another car, it is rally impressive. As for the suspensions, I a...
I think you can even get lighter weight by using the same diameter but
Better disc and better caliper
Rear wing
In most cases I don`t believe a rear wing do the aesthetics of a good looking car any favours, the one I can think of getting away with it is 911 GT3. And now there`s another.
Subtile is good
Never drove an Alpine though. The closest I got was a R5 Turbo tuned to abt 225 hp back in the eighties. Believe that car was 4th in Rally Monte Carlo. A lot of fun, but one really has to be very good driver, and I wasn`t
Balance
Yeah, would be a mistake taking a car off down force balance too, have to work both ends. Only saw 2 R5 Turbo street editions in real life (back then), and I was listening for the turbo. In vain. I suspect the experience turned me into a R5 snob for a whi...
Steep :-(
So i suppose you already have searched for a very good alternative on the secondary market ? Recaro, Corbeau, Sparco ... .
But without the weight saving.
If you go for `2 new (extra) seats .. you still have 2 spare seats for your apartment ;-)
I have a lot of back seats :-)
You know why off course Clio BMW Mini My man cave will be cool ;-)
Nice combo
Would likely be my first choice as well . Looking forward to the upcoming mods for October! 🚗
i recall the easy to change panels in their literature.
Sadly, could not get one here in the States.
Racing harnesses are nice, but the harness buckle scratches my belt buckle.
And the standard seats are already quite supportive! Might have to do racing seats though, as the padding can be removed to give more room for the helmet.
