2021 Alpine A110 price and features: Toyota Supra, Porsche Cayman, Jaguar F-Type and Audi TT rival gets new A110S flagship with more power

The new A110S sits atop the A110 range.

Better late than never, Alpine Australia has added a third full-time variant to the A110 coupe’s range, with the new A110S flagship now offering a more powerful option to sports-car buyers.

Priced from $115,000 plus on-road, the A110S commands decent premiums over the A110’s entry-level Pure ($101,000) and mid-range Legende ($106,500) grades, although it packs a bigger punch.

Specifically, the A110S takes the A110’s mid-mounted 1.8-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine and increases peak power from 185kW to 215kW, although maximum torque is unchanged, at 320Nm.

And just like the A110, the A110S is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which sends drive to the rear wheels.

This combination helps the A110S complete the zero-to-100km/h sprint in 4.4 seconds, which makes it a tenth of a second quicker to triple digits than the A110.


The A110S also stands out from the A110 crowd with its variable sports exhaust system and unique suspension set-up, with the latter featuring stiffer springs (+50%) and anti-roll bars (+100%) as well as a bespoke damper tune.

A fresh set of matte black 18-inch GT Race alloy wheels, wider Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres, Brembo brakes with orange callipers, and specific C-pillar badging further set the A110S apart.

Meanwhile, Sabelt bucket seats, black Nappa leather and Dinamica microfibre with orange stitching, and matte carbon-fibre trim distinguish the Toyota Supra, Porsche Cayman, Jaguar F-Type and Audi TT rival inside.

Options include Titanium Grey 18-inch Fuchs alloy wheels, a gloss carbon-fibre roof and a premium Focal sound system as well as a Mirrors Package (power-folding side mirrors and an auto-dimming rearview mirror).

Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
