Alpine A110 Tour de Corse 75, the latest limited special edition of the French sports car

Back in 1975, the new instalment of the iconic Tour de Corse took place, one of the most emblematic events in motorsport, first held in 1956 and which, since 1973, became the main French round of the World Rally Championship.

In this edition, one of the most memorable in the event’s history, 77 teams competed on the roads of Corsica, of which only 22 finished, proving a true challenge for both drivers and cars. Two in particular stood out, the Alpine A110 and the Lancia Stratos HF, two rivals that battled to the very end, with the Stratos winning by just 32 seconds over the A110.

A tribute to its past

To commemorate this historic event, the French firm has just unveiled a new special edition of its A110, named Alpine A110 Tour de Corse 75. Only 150 units will be produced, and it will go on sale at a price of 80,000 euros from Friday 17 June at 9:00.

As it could not be otherwise, this exclusive A110 features a very distinctive look, finished in yellow contrasted with a black bonnet and roof. Along its bodywork there are numerous details that reference the 1975 A110, such as the number 7 stamped on the rear, several black and white stripes along the sides and rear, and a white outline tracing the bonnet. These elements pair perfectly with the 18-inch Grand Prix wheels in white and the orange Brembo brake calipers.

Sportiness in abundance

Inside, the Sabelt Racing bucket seats are embroidered with the Tour de Corse 75 badge, and there is also the new Alpine multimedia system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility.

Under the bonnet, this limited edition uses the 300 CV engine found in the A110 GT and A110 S versions, which combines sublimely with its chassis tuning and a weight of just 1,184 kilograms.
