The Alpine A110 has been through the hands of tuner Litchfield to obtain 300 CV of power

The Alpine A110 is one of those vehicles that, without a doubt, will win you over effortlessly, a feat made possible by its styling, perfectly mirroring that of the model of yesteryear and by a set of features that today is conspicuously absent. This French sports car not only arrives to evoke one of the great legends of the automotive world, but also to spice up the car market with a power-to-weight ratio that takes us back to a time when outrageous performance and electronics were dispensable. However, many of us are gripped by a frenzied craving that seeks, at any cost, to be satisfied with more sensations, something that will be possible thanks to British tuner Litchfield, who has been one of the first to play with the Alpine A110 and its heart.

This reinterpretation of the French sports car may have presented numerous risks by daring to bring the A110 name back to life, but the brand’s engineers fulfilled their goal far beyond expectations. Now, we are not only witnesses to a styling in keeping with that of the model of yesteryear, but also to a perfect marriage between sportiness and fun, but Litchfield wanted to go one step further.

The Alpine A110 hides under its skin a 1.8-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged engine that it shares with the Renault Megane R.S and that is capable of delivering 252 CV of power and 320 Nm of torque. These figures catapult the sports car to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h, electronically limited.

However, the English tuner, now Frenchified by the majesty of the Alpine A110, could not resist and has decided to considerably raise its power range. With the Stage 1, the French sports car manages to increase its power up to 300 CV and 386 Nm of torque, figures that now reign over the A110’s engine thanks to a series of ECU modifications, but one can go even further.

Thanks to the Stage 2 kindly provided by Litchfield, the Alpine A110 finds itself capable of producing 320 CV. This power range is achieved through the installation of a new exhaust system and the appropriate electronic modifications. At the same time, customers will also be able to upgrade the suspension or add a limited-slip differential to make the sports car even more precise and dynamic on the tarmac.

With a weight of just 1,086 kilos and a power output above 300 CV, the new Alpine A110 prepared by Litchfield presents itself as the ultimate machine, but it comes at a price. The price of the Stage 2 is not yet known, but the English tuner has confirmed that 1,194 pounds will have to be paid to upgrade our A110’s engine, the equivalent of 1,327 euros at current exchange rates.
