Worth noting is that A110S has almost every option ticked from the beginning, a fully speced A110 costs as much as a S with the same options basically.
If you do the sums you will find that a Pure with (as close as possible) all the options the A110S has is about £3500 cheaper (speccing both with Fuchs wheels). So that's how much the power, wider tyres and different suspension cost you.

Great car, but I'd take the standard A110. It felt brilliant for the road when I reviewed it - delicate, playful and you could use all of the performance without doing silly speeds.
@@MagicAyrtonforever well, the standard A110 would certainly be easier to live with due to the extra ride comfort. And what makes it great is the way it flows down the road, how playful it is and how you can use all of the performance more of the time. The A110S seems to have lost something in all these respects.
Shame there is no manual offered as the engine is out of the Megane RS which is available with a manual gearbox I can’t see why it can’t be installed in the Alpine
I still prefer my less powerful 2006 Lotus Elise. Simply because it is a manual. A small sports light car deserves a manual. It is not about 0-60 and top speed...it is about the experience and driver involvement.
I still see 2 major problems with this car : 1. It's not offered in Canada; 2. It's lacking (at least the option of) a third pedal. ...other than that, it appears to be the thing of dreams.
Give it MANUAL GEARBOX, and it would be the ultimate driver's car. I would personally sell my car and spend my savings to buy it. But with an automatic, however "efficient", I would be robbed of half of the sensorial experience. Hence a regrettable: not for me.
aLERNO, only low intelligence people do not evolve. Alpine didn't have the money to develop two gearboxes they said. And a manual would have been slightly heavier.
Amazing car and I was seriously impressed when I drove it. Such a sophisticated chassis. Shame it doesn't have the looks and road presence of the 4C because technically it's a better car.
Steve did you buy an Alpine A110 as Dan Prosser did, or will you do it anytime soon ? If no, which sports car do you own ? I need inspiration for my next buy. Thank you in advance for your reply !
I love these and really want to get a version, but just can't because that severe lack of luggage space means two can't really have a week driving round Europe which is where the car would be in it's element. Shame
I got enough luggage in for 3 weeks in Europe with space to spare. Sure the boots are not the most convenient size or shape, but you can get a lot in. If you or your other half are shortish then there is a lot of space behind the seats. More than twice as much as an Elise, 50% more than an MX5 even ignoring the space behind the seats.
I sort of see this as when Aston Martin built the DBS and they had the DB9 out. It’s an upgrade - so to speak. Not to take anything away from the Alpine A110, but this just improves on a winning formula.
Looks ideal for large swathes of continental european roads, but very little opportunity to drive on a day-to-day basis like this in the UK (especially the southern half), given our national outbreak of potholes and poor repairs.
From listening to Gordon Murray on his philosophy on car dynamics to get a true drivers car. He would probably go with the standard A110 over this S. He likes to emphasise he purposely designs his cars to have a functional and everyday suspension setup so it is fun to drive while being comfortable. I do love the paint job and engine and brake upgrade but everything else I would keep standard.
In a word NO. You can't really consider an Exige as a daily. Great weekend hoon car/trackday warrier but too impractical and too noisy to be a daily (at least a sensible one). There is a big gap in price too. Sure the headline figure for the 350 is similar to the 110S but add in aircon, soundproofing, trim etc and it's going to cost a lot more - and a 380 really is in a different price bracket. An Evora is, from a practicality point of view, a realistic alternative - but not from a price point of view.

Imagine this little car with the 2.0 L (387 hp) engine from the AMG A45 . Giving the partnership between Renault and Mercedes , this is something possible if they wanted to .
How many Alpine have they sold? I think Renault has priced it a little bit too expensive for what it is (and without a brand for which you can hardly pay a premium)
do you think it's cheap to produce an all aluminium sports car ??? The chassis of the A110 is a work of art. Double wishbone all around and 1100 Kilos !
Things are certainly going to get interesting when the new C8 Corvette comes out. Not saying these two are the same (although I prefer the look of this over the C8 and the Cayman) but they're in the same ball park price-wise. Then there's the Supra. Yeah, this segment has suddenly opened up, and Alpine have just raised the stakes further. Cool.
In europe the C8 corvette will cost at least 95 000 euros. In France that's the base price for a brand new 'vette at the official dealership. That's very far from the 59,900 claimed by chevrolet in the USA. The only competitor to the A110 is the Cayman and it weighs 300 Kilos more !
@@lapamful But the A110 isn't sold in USA, and it's where the C8 is cheap. Honestly for the same amout of money, I would go for a C8, especially if a Manual gearbox exist. But the reality is that the C8 cost close to twice as much to buy here in France, the maintenance will be a loooot higher, and the car receive a nice 12.000€ tax for being heavy on C02. Not easy to be a car enthusiast sadly.
@@TheSkyline35 I hear ya. Totally agree, yes the C8 makes more sense if you live in the US. But although they won't get the A110 in America, they do have other cars like muscle cars. But unless you've seen and driven the roads we have in Britain, France etc. I don't think you'd understand a car like the A110. American roads are big, wide and very straight. The only place I know that comes close to European roads in America is Mullholland Drive, near where Matt Farah did all his One Take reviews.

@@lapamful Well, the A110 is made for nice twisty European road, especially...the Alps, as the name of the brand suggest. A C8 and a A110 can't really be compared, truly different philosophies. But the Alpine is selling extremely well in Europe for a sport car, better than a Cayman, nice to see such a car being appreciated. For the C02 and all of that, I saw your videos, but I do think we have to change the way our society works, relying fully on a limited resource like Petrol is a bad idea, and even if you don't trust the climate change, we can't deny that car emissions are bad for human health, especially in crowed cities.

no, the sway bars on the A110S are hollow to stay light and you don't know how rigid they are and maybe no after market part has the same stiffness. Plus the geometry is not the same in my opinion and you don't know what are the settings numbers. etc.
Only a few cars being built today that I still get excited when I see in the flesh and the Alpine is one of them
S Miller True, today's car manufacturing industry is mostly a nightmare. The only thing the A110S is lacking IMHO is a mechanical slip diff.
I agree as well .I'm planning to switch my BMW Z3 M roadster for this one .I thought they would make a cabrio which I should prefer the most .
Love this car and I applaud Renault for building it.

Can you have one that's been painted ?
Looks nice from every angle but the front.
Looks hideous from the front!!
AutoExpress , what did u do to loose this presenter , he was in an elite group , a very small handfull of car reviewers
that fit the role , like hand in glove. Don't like your chances of filling his shoes , next comments are all expletives , so i won't add them.
Am emotive car for engaged drivers!!!.... and customers... brilliant. Not many of those today.
The Alpine A110 beat the Cayman GTS in a drag race as proven in a Carwow video. It also thrashed the Toyota A90 Supra too.
That Alpine A110 in the CarWow video was modified by Litchfield to 300hp. Whereas the other cars were stock.
@@smilepermile888 loser.
Is it still overheating?
I really like this guy. "Sutty" 😎👍
One of the few cars with real soul on the market today.
At least the Cayman has a variant with a manual only
That's true . But only between 15 and 20 % off all new Caymans sold, are manuals !
Sell it in Canada for crying out loud!
So basically any A110 owner could easily upgrade its car to make it a « S »? 🤔
no, the sway bars on the A110S are hollow to stay light and you don't know how rigid they are and maybe no after market part has the same stiffness. Plus the geometry is not the same in my opinion and you don't know what are the settings numbers. etc.
音が格好いいですね！
レーシングカーのようなサウンドです！
運転していて気持ち良さそうですね(^-^)
Taking notes 📝
Dynamically sounds amazing, but the looks ruin it for me.
stiff, stiffer, more poke, more stiction, firmer, more serious, faster, grip, composure, ...
It´s a cool car but the price is crazy.
I think you don't understand, or maybe value, the cost of lightness.
So much want
