Alpine Unveils Special A110S For Alonso And Ocon With F1 Livery

Alpine unveiled a pair of special A110 models that were used by Alpine F1 drivers Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon during the F1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Imola over the weekend.

The French car manufacturer refers to these two special A110 models as ‘trackside cars’, noting that they are based on the flagship A110S model. Making the duo stand out is the same satin blue, white, red, and black livery as this year’s Alpine F1 car, which we happen to think is one of the best-looking liveries on the grid.

As these two are based on the A110S, they are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 288 hp and 236 lb-ft (320 Nm) of torque. While that may not sound like all that much in a world where hot hatches, including Renault’s own, are pumping out over 300 hp, the A110S tips the scales at just 2,455 lbs (1,113 kg).

“When the A521 was presented, it was true joy to see the Alpine name on a Formula One car and it is just the same feeling today to see the Alpine F1 Team name on an A110,” Alpine chief executive Laurent Rossi said with the unveiling of the two special A110 models.

Earlier this year, Alpine announced that it will partner with Lotus to develop an all-electric sports car. Details about this vehicle, such as which platform it will ride on and what powertrain it will use, are unknown at this stage.
