Alpine A110 R

Alpine A110 R takes the lightweight sports-car idea and pushes it toward track use rather than grand touring comfort. By our assessment, that is exactly where it stands out: sharp steering, a focused chassis, and the kind of compact shape that makes a small sports car feel alert rather than padded. The downside is the same trade-off that defines the whole car, because the R badge usually means less give in ride and less interest in easy cruising than a softer Alpine A110. In practice, this sort of car asks for roads where handling matters more than luggage space or hush. Against larger performance cars, it looks less about brute force and more about agility and feedback. Alpine A110 R makes the most sense for drivers who want a very concentrated sports car, and the 110 in the name is just part of the model title.
