At the 2024 Paris Motor Show, Alpine unveiled what many are calling the ultimate expression of its iconic sports car, the A110 R Ultime. This is not simply another performance model or a special edition with a new badge. It is a statement piece, the final chapter in the reborn A110’s story, pushing the boundaries of what a lightweight, road-legal sports car can achieve.
A Road-Legal Track Weapon
The A110 R Ultime was created with one goal in mind: to deliver the purest driving experience possible. Alpine’s engineers took everything that made the A110 R so exhilarating and refined it even further. With improved aerodynamics, enhanced suspension, and a more powerful engine, the Ultime is sharper, faster, and more responsive than ever before.
While Alpine has not revealed all of the final homologated figures yet, the numbers already tell a compelling story. The A110 R Ultime accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds and produces up to 345 horsepower when using high-octane fuel. It is a road-legal car that feels like a racer, built for those who crave precision, connection, and pure excitement behind the wheel.
Where Art Meets Engineering
One of the most remarkable things about the A110 R Ultime is how it blends craftsmanship with performance. The design has been shaped by aerodynamic needs, so every vent, curve, and winglet serves a purpose. From its front splitter and rear ducktail to its double-flap spoiler, every detail contributes to improved stability and agility at high speeds.
Despite its performance focus, Alpine has not lost its artistic touch. The A110 R Ultime remains elegant, sleek, and instantly recognisable. It is not an intimidating supercar but a driver’s car that is approachable, thrilling, and beautifully balanced.
A New Level of Personalisation
For the first time in Alpine’s history, customers can take part in a genuine co-creation process through the Atelier Sur-Mesure programme. This goes far beyond choosing colours or trims. Buyers are invited to work directly with Alpine’s design team to create a completely bespoke version of their car, with almost limitless options for materials, colours, and finishes.
The process begins with a blank, all-black car and a private session with the brand’s colour and trim specialists. Using advanced 3D tools and real material samples, each customer designs their own personal A110 R Ultime. At the end of the experience, they receive a custom brochure and a video that captures their unique configuration.
For those seeking the highest level of exclusivity, Alpine also offers an Atelier On Demand option, allowing customers to request features that go beyond the standard catalogue. This level of customisation is usually reserved for the world’s most exclusive luxury brands.
Performance Refined to Perfection
Even without diving too deeply into the mechanical details, it is clear that Alpine’s engineering team went all out to perfect this car. The chassis and suspension have been meticulously tuned, while the new aerodynamic setup enhances both grip and balance. With its lightweight construction of around 1,100 kilograms and increased torque, the A110 R Ultime delivers both blistering speed and exceptional handling.
It is a car that invites you to push harder and explore its limits, yet it remains composed and communicative. On the track, it feels razor sharp. On the road, it offers a refined and responsive drive. That combination of precision and approachability is what makes it truly special.
La Bleue: The Ultimate Expression
Among the 110 cars being produced, 15 will carry the name La Bleue. This ultra-rare edition is the jewel of the A110 R Ultime line-up, featuring a hand-crafted paint finish that fades from deep Bleu Abysse to the classic Bleu Alpine. The result is a stunning visual tribute to the brand’s heritage.
Inside, Italian craftsmanship takes centre stage with a Poltrona Frau blue leather interior and Sabelt bucket seats. La Bleue combines Alpine’s racing DNA with artistry and design rarely seen in modern sports cars. Priced at around €330,000, it represents the absolute peak of the A110 lineage and is destined to become a collector’s dream.
The End and a New Beginning
For Alpine, the A110 R Ultime is not just a farewell, it is a statement of intent. As the brand moves toward its next generation of electric sports cars, this model serves as a bridge between eras. It is the last of the petrol-powered Alpines and the most advanced one ever made.
Chief Executive Officer Philippe Kriefdescribes it as “a truly exceptional model that crowns the A110’s career.” With its combination of extreme performance, handcrafted luxury, and exclusivity, the A110 R Ultime captures everything Alpine stands for: lightweight engineering, French finesse, and a deep passion for driving.
Deliveries are scheduled to begin in early 2026, but for collectors and enthusiasts, the race to secure one of the 110 examples has already begun. The A110 R Ultime is more than a car. It is a celebration of passion, precision, and the pursuit of perfection, marking a fitting farewell to a modern icon.
