Alpine has a long history of competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, including an overall win in 1978, and the company is preparing to unveil a new LMDh Hypercar entry at this year's event. The Alpine A110 R Le Mans edition now debuts as a tribute to the brand's past and future competition in the world-famous endurance race. It's limited to 100 units and costs the equvalent of $150,000 (140,000 euros). Alpine begins taking orders for them on June 8.
The A110 R is the starting point for this special edition, and this version retains the model's carbon-fiber hood, roof, engine cover, rear wing, and wheels. This edition gains what Alpine calls a Road & Track chock that lowers and stiffens the car by five percent. There are also revisions to the suspension setup versus the standard model.
