Alpine A110R Le Mans let loose on the Goodwood Motor Circuit

The A110 is in the closing months and years of its life but it looks just as wonderful as the day it debuted, especially a quintet of them in hopped-up A110 R form. The R of course adds some extra carbon and aero addenda to the A110’s once-minimal form, with a rear spoiler, carbon deck lid, carbon wheel covers, a splitter, larger differs and a vented bonnet.

The Le Mans adds a bit more exclusivity still, with just 100 made to celebrate the 100^th anniversary of the world’s greatest motor race. All are white with special blue highlights.

Alpine’s history at the Le Mans 24 Hours goes back over 60 years, starting with the M63 in 1963. The A442B’s overall win of 1978 was Alpine at the peak of its endurance racing powers and it’ll be hoping to repeat that success in the current Hypercar era.

Take a wander around the circuit grounds, and some more Dieppe-flavoured treats are there for our enjoyment. Alpine has brought with it to Goodwood a glimpse into its near future, with the A290β concept and the A424β hypercar prototype, presented in giant boxes as if they’re giant model cars. Full size scale is probably a bit big for the average living room display case.

Of course Alpine’s hypercar has already hit the track in the 2024 World Endurance Championship but this Beta prototype was our first look at what the racer would look like at Le Mans last year. It’s certainly one of the prettier LMDh cars, incorporating plenty of interesting styling elements to mark it out. The lights especially, we absolutely adore, with the Alpine ‘A’ symbol making up the shape of them at the back.
