2023 Alpine A110 Pikes Peak
Owner: Alpine Hosted by: Crémieux
Making its UK debut, this is the car Alpine used to devastating effect on the Pikes Peak Hillclimb in 2023. On the team’s very first attempt it bagged a podium position – and it broke a record along the way. Using the A110 GT4 Evo racing car as a base, its downforce has been further increased thanks to the use of pronounced splitters on the front and deflectors on the edge of the bumper, plus an air intake for the engine. The car’s diffuser comes from the A110 R.
The 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine packs a mighty 500bhp, marshalled through a six-speed sequential gearbox.

While the dampers are three-way adjustable units from ALP Racing, Brembo brake calipers are used front and rear. In all, the A110 weighs a mere 950kg.
The results at the hillclimb were stark, with the Alpine breaking the Pikes Peak Open category record with a time of nine minutes, 17 seconds and 412 milliseconds, finishing second in class with Raphaël Astier behind the wheel. All the more remarkable, considering the project went from concept to reality in less than six months.
