It’s billed as the most extreme A110 ever, and to look at, we fully believe them. In true Pikes tradition, it’s very much an A110 with a massive splitter and a massive double wing. Obviously that sounds pretty reductive but these are the elements that really leap out. There’s also an airbox feeding the highly-upgraded engine, though there are no specifics on what's been done. This 950kg, 500PS monster is a collaboration between Alpine and Signatech and is a one-off to take on the 19.93km, 156-corner course.
"The A110 Pikes Peak brings out the wildest side of this iconic car,” said Raphael Linari, Alpine Chief Designer.
“It is agile and light by design, but with its specific aerodynamics and extreme proportions, it has become a genuine racing beast. This legendary event was an endless source of inspiration to push our creativity and enhance the A110 while integrating the constraints associated with performance.
“This project was completed in a decidedly short timeframe, thanks to the close collaboration with Signatech's technical teams. We look forward to seeing our creation challenge the American powerhouses on their home turf.”
