Alpine A110 Cup revealed, one make series headed for Europe
…
Alpine has unveiled a racetrack-ready version of its upcoming sports car. The A110 Cup is a stripped, caged version of the as-yet unreleased A110, set to take part in a one-make race series on the racetracks of Europe.
Changes on the Cup start with its turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which makes 201kW of power, compared to the regular road car’s 185kW. The racer will weigh just 1050kg, too, which should make for punchy performance.
