Alpine A110 Gets a Fresh Breeze of Updates
The Alpine A110 continues to shine as the marque’s single sports car hero, and guess what? It’s stepping up its game with a subtle facelift—nothing too flashy, but enough to keep the enthusiasts excited.
What’s New?
- Variant Tweaks – The S version steps up with a few personality changes, giving it an edge without overhauling the entire lineup.
- Polished Packages – New equipment bundles are now available, offering extra fun tech and style at a sweet price.
- No Big Facelift – Alpine stays true to its niche roots; the exterior remains largely familiar, making it a gentle upgrade rather than a full redesign.
Keeping It Classic
While the A110 S receives a touch of flair, the base models keep the same sleek profile you love. Think of it like ordering your favorite pizza: a little extra cheese, but the crust and toppings stay exactly the same.

The Fresh Lineup of the A110
Remember when the A110 had the humble A110 Pure, the slightly cozier A110 Legende, and the high‑octane A110 S? Those days are gone! The brand’s new alert means you’ll now find four flavors, each with its own personality and price tag (sans COE). Let’s break it down:
- A110 (Base) – $271,800
“If you’re looking for the barebones ride that feels like a fresh sprint after a long hike, this is your go‑to.” - A110+ – $285,800
“A step ahead: more power, better perks, and a bit of swagger.” - A110 GT – $304,800
“Get ready for the thrill ride—its name says it all.” - A110 S with Aero Kit – $318,800
“Top‑tier, aerodynamic swagger for those who love the head‑wind vibe.”
Every price is listed excluding the COE, so you can zero in on the sweet spot that fits your wallet and wanderlust.

Why the Alpine A110 & A110 S Are a Total Blast
So, let’s break down why the A110 feels like a cork‑screwed joyride up the hill instead of a Monday‑morning commute.
Engine & Numbers that Pop
- 252 hp from a 1.8‑litre turbo – that’s a punch of power you can actually feel.
- 7‑speed dual‑clutch gearbox that practically skips the gears.
- 0‑100 km/h in 4.5 seconds – that’s lightning fast for the average car.
- Top speed capped at 250 km/h – you’ll never need to hit the speed limit to feel the excitement.
Lighten the Load
The A110 tips the scales at just under 1.1 t, and that weight advantage makes the car snappy and agile. Think of it as a rockstar who can’t be pinned down.
Drive Modes: Your Personal Mood‑Setter
- Normal – smooth and everyday, but still packs a punch.
- Sport – push the pedal, feel the acceleration.
Track – for the corner‑connoisseurs who want a bit of racing flavor.
Alpine has tweaked the throttle response, gear‑shift logic, and all three modes to feel just right for each mood.
“Joie de Vivre” in a Bottle
In plain English: the A110 & A110 S deliver pure fun in a small, lightweight package that lets you feel every twist, turn, and lift. It’s the kind of car that turns a casual drive into a daily adventure.

Take a Closer Look at the New A110+ Interior
At first glance, the updated A110+ interior feels like a familiar face—think of the classic A110 tucked in the old-school Hey. The real splash of excitement? The new audio and safety medals.
Turning Up the Volume
- Four‑speaker Focal setup: This French hifi brand packs a punch, turning every road trip into a concert.
- Premium sound quality is now part of everyday driving, no extra effort required.
Smart Parking for the Tech‑Savvy
- Front and rear parking sensors now alert drivers. No more “park on a cliff” surprises.
- It’s a subtle upgrade that makes maneuvering in tight spots feel like a breeze.
What’s Left Unchanged?
Beyond the new audio and sensors, the A110+ keeps the real perks that made the original a legend:
- Sabelt sport bucket seats that hug you in every turn.
- Lush carbon and Alcantara finishes that give it that high‑class, low‑cost vibe.
So, if you love the old A110’s feel, the new A110+ will feel just right—minus the three‑song playlist, with a four‑speaker party instead.

Ford’s New 7‑inch Touchscreen: A Game Changer
Say goodbye to the old, confusing portrait screen that felt more like a puzzle than a dashboard. Ford’s latest 7‑inch “multimedia touchscreen” flips the script with a wide, landscape layout that’s easier on the eye and a step closer to the future of in‑car tech.
What’s Hot About the 7‑inch Display?
- Apple CarPlay & Android Auto – plug in your phone, get the apps you love, and let the car handle the rest.
- Landscape orientation – no more awkward scrolling or double‑tapping to switch modes.
- Real‑time telemetry – because who doesn’t want to see a live bar chart of turbo pressure, gearbox temp, torque, power, steering wheel angle, and acceleration right on the screen?
Off the Track and Into Your Life
The new telemetry view isn’t just a pretty picture. It gives you a nitty‑gritty look at how your car is performing, so you can fine‑tune driving habits or just brag to a friend about how fast you’re going.
Style Meets Substance
With sharper graphics and a smoother interface, that 7‑inch screen feels less like a relic and more like a cockpit on a high‑end bicycle tour. Whether you’re streaming your favorite playlist or navigating to your next destination, it’s ready to roll.

Audi’s A110 GT & S Rev Up Power—Ready to Burn the Road
All the aerodynamic trim and tech upgrades sound great, but Audi’s latest tweaks really fire up the soul of this iconic two‑door. Here’s what’s changed behind those shiny surfaces.
Horsepower & Torque Surge
- Peak power goes from 288 hp to a juicy 300 hp. More fire, fewer arguments at the steering wheel.
- Torque jumps by 20 Nm, from 320 Nm to 340 Nm, giving the wheels a stronger shove when you press the pedal.
Speed‑and‑Acceleration Play‑by‑Play
Both GT and S models now sprint from 0‑100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds—the same Bang‑For‑The‑Buck response. But the top speeds differ:
- GT: 250 km/h – the classic, still a father‑of‑the-track’s dream.
- S: 260 km/h – and with that Aero kit? 275 km/h—sports car bragging rights unlocked.
Launch Control: The Three‑Cylinder Symphony
When you toggle launch control, the engine lights up exactly three cylinders at a time. The result is a hilarious “rortier” sound—think a compressed, high‑octane chorus that makes every driveway feel like a racetrack.
Bottom Line
If you’ve been waiting for the A110 GT or S to taste the road with a sharper punch, look no further. With a 12‑hp bump, 20 Nm torque increase, and a sleeker, faster ride, these cars are set to fire up the streets like never before.

A110 S Gets a Fresh Set of Spoiler‑Fabulous Accessories
What’s new? Alpine’s A110 S is now rocking the all‑star Aero Kit as standard. Think of it as a couture makeover for the car’s nose and tail.
- Front lip & rear wing made of carbon – the lightweight power trio.
- Extended front fairings add that aerodynamic swagger.
- New carbon‑fibre roof trims the weight by 1.9 kg – because every gram counts on a racetrack.
- Fire Orange finish with a contrasting black roof—only for the S model, so you’ll look like you’re zipping through a sunset chase.
Singapore’s A110 Range – A Four‑Star Menu
The updated lineup in Singapore now includes four variants. Alpine isn’t stopping there: an extra‑fast, hardcore A110 R will hit the market in 2023, ready to turn every street into a temporary track.
