Alpine A110 line-up revised for 2022

Customers now have a choice of three Alpine A110 variants. As well as an entry-level model (simply called A110), there’s the more luxurious A110 GT and the sportier A110 S.

All are still powered by a 1.8-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine which is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. However, outputs do vary.

The base A110 gets 252 PS (248 bhp / 185 kW) with 320 Nm (236 lb/ft) of peak torque. It’s able to accelerate from rest to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.5 seconds, before eventually reaching a top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).

Both the A110 GT and A110 S boast 300 PS (296 bhp / 221 kW) and an additional 20 Nm (14 lb/ft) of torque. Consequently, they take just 4.2 seconds to complete the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint. Top speed remains at 155 mph (250 km/h) for the A110 GT, but 161 mph (260 km/h) is possible in an A110 S.

If that’s not quick enough, then the A110 S can achieve 170 mph (275 km/h) when the optional Aero Kit is specified. Costing £4,650, this comprises a carbon fibre front blade, longer front fairings beneath the car (to improve rear diffuser efficiency), and a carbon fibre rear spoiler. Those components aren’t just cosmetic, because together they produce up to 141 kg (310 lb) of extra downforce.

Also available exclusively for the A110 S are Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect semi-slick tyres (£640) and Sabelt Racing one-piece seats (£620).

Alpine dealers are already accepting orders for the 2022 A110, ahead of the first deliveries next March. UK on-the-road prices start at:
  • A110 – £49,905
  • A110 GT – £59,355
  • A110 S – £59,955

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
