Stop the presses – the A110 is coming to America! Well yes, but actually no. Before you rush over to the nonexistent Renault/Alpine dealer in the US, we should mention this two-piece giant wing to which the French sports car brand has attached its mid-engined coupe has been developed for the sole purpose of racing at Pikes Peak this year. It's touted as being the most radical A110 since the model's rebirth in 2017 courtesy of a crazy aero pack.
Alpine's first entry in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is a joint effort with racing team Signatech to develop a bespoke A110 that will race to the clouds on June 25. The hardcore machine has already been tested at Lurcy-Lévis and will be subjected to two additional evaluations in southern France before heading to Colorado Springs for the challenging event. The route is 12.42 miles (19.93 kilometers) long and has no fewer than 156 turns. The departure takes place at 9,400 feet (2,865 meters) above sea level and the cars climb 4,720 feet (1,440 meters) to the 14,120-foot (4,303-meter) summit.
