The most exclusive and extreme A110 ever created, the A110R Ultime is joining the two classic Alpine A110s in its sold-out livery: La Bleue.
The current, second-generation Alpine A110 is entering its last months of production, which will end in June 2026, after orders close at the end of March 2026.
Alpine Cars, the French sports premium brand, will attend the Retromobile classic event from January 28th to February 1st 2026. Founded on the 22nd of June 1955, the brand is still celebrating its 70-year anniversary. Its most iconic model, the Alpine A110 Berlinette, was chosen for the rebirth of the brand in the 21st century. The 2026 Retromobile classic event will be a celebration of the A110 with a trio of special cars on display.
The second-generation of the Alpine A110, unveiled at Geneva Motor Show 2017, has entered its last production run, which will end in June 2026. Customers and prospects can still order the last units until the end of March from the current versions: Alpine A110 powered by a 252 hp engine, the Alpine A110 GTS powered by a 300 hp engine feeling equally at home on road and track, and the Alpine A110R 70, a limited-edition for the 70th anniversary of the brand.
A TRIO OF ICONIC ALPINE A110The Alpine A110 has been produced from 1962 to 1977 and again with the second generation since 2017. By the end of June 2026, the production of the current Alpine A110 will come to an end.
ALPINE A110 1600 SXThe Alpine A110 1600 SX is one of the very last A110 Berlinettes built in Dieppe, marking the end of an iconic chapter in French automotive history. Delivered new in 1977 and retained by the same owner ever since, it is finished in the rare green ‘Vert Normandy’, affectionately known among enthusiasts as “Berliverte.” True to the original Berlinette philosophy, it features a backbone chassis with a fiberglass and polyester body. Power comes from a rear-mounted, longitudinal inline four-cylinder engine of 1,647cc, producing 95hp, driving the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. Weighing just 790kg and equipped with four-wheel independent suspension, double wishbones front and rear, and four-disc brakes, it offers outstanding balance and agility, with a top speed of 195km/h.
ALPINE A110 1800S GROUP 4Built in September 1975 for the Alpine works team, this A110 1800S Group 4 is an authentic factory race car with an impressive competition pedigree. Retaining the iconic Berlinette silhouette, backbone chassis and lightweight composite body, it is powered by a Mignotet-built 1,796cc inline four-cylinder engine delivering 170hp, coupled to a reinforced five-speed gearbox and rear-wheel drive. With a remarkably low kerb weight of just 710kg, this car competed at the highest level of international rallying, achieving second overall at the 1975 Tour de Corse with Jean-Pierre Nicolas and Vincent Laverne, and outright victory at the 1976 Tour Auto of Réunion Island with Jean Ragnotti and Jean-Pierre Aujoulet. It also took part in the 1975 San Remo Rally and the 1976 Monte Carlo Rally, standing as a genuine testament to Alpine’s golden era in motorsport.
ALPINE A110R ULTIME, LA BLEUE, THE MOST EXTREME AND EXCLUSIVE A110 EVER CREATED – SOLD OUTThe Alpine A110R Ultime is the most extreme, track focused and exclusive evolution of the A110, limited to 110 units worldwide from which deliveries just started. It features major upgrades in aerodynamics, chassis, suspension, braking and powertrain, delivering up to 345hp, 420Nm, a 3.8second 0–100km/h time, and a weight close to 1,100kg. Designed as a road-legal race car, it offers adjustable Ohlins suspension, Michelin Cup 2 tyres, a redesigned aero package and GT4-derived engine components. The model also introduces Alpine’s most advanced customisation programme ever, with 27 body colours, multiple wheel and brake caliper finishes, and extensive interior options. To celebrate the colour defining the brand, originally coming from a customer demand for a specific metallic blue that became famous and the most-liked, most-ordered colour, the design team has been working on a special livery bringing two blues together and progressively grading the paintwork and shape of the Alpine model. The front of the car is painted with the iconic Alpine blue, where the rear is in Abyss blue. The cars are handcrafted with a gradient of blue with the expertise of the Manufacture Jean Rédélé of Dieppe.
