Re: A110
Better.In completely standard specification Litchfield's A110 developed 256hp and a peak of 258lb ft of torque on the dyno, which is 4hp and a useful 22lb ft more than Alpine claims. 'The standard boost pressure is around 1.1 bar,' says Iain, 'and we increase that to 1.35 bar, going up to 1.45 a bit later in the mid-range, before tailing off again. That gives us 304hp at 6295rpm and 298lb ft at 3450rpm. We did have it up to 330lb ft in testing, but that made the car close to undriveable

Re: A110
Now with more powers, officially
A110S revealed
Be interesting to see reviews if it's more "track focussed". Seems like they've upped the stiffness of the chassis, so I wonder if it will lose some of the love from the journos.

Left over crest; tightens.
Re: A110
And these changes are all at the top end.
Looking at the numbers.....
Std car makes 236lbs ft. Which starts to tail off around 5300rpm (edit - official figures confirm it starts to tail off at 5krpm) and has to have dropped to 210lbs.ft by the time it is hitting max power at 6000rpm.
This one makes 236lbs.ft but holds it all the way to 6400rpm. So gains are marginal and really only felt in the upper 1000-odd rpm (edit 1400-odd rpm).
I dont know what the rev limit is for either.

Re: A110
If you want to track it (presumably who this pack is aimed at?) you’d be better off getting the normal one with a map and some springs of your choice. Plus enough money left over for lots of tyres and brakes. But then you’d probably end up like the livedlifeonfinance cunt so maybe not
They should call it the Alpine Underwhelming- as that’s all it’s ever been from the start.

How about not having a sig at all?
Re: A110
Litchfield’s remap takes it to 298lb/ft with warranty.

Re: A110
I think I'd be sticking to the Pure model as well, when I get one obvs, whilst considering the Litchfield upgrades if I felt them necessary.
Re: A110
I know it’s not fair to compare prices with old cars, but for a little bit more one can get a GT3, R8 V10, Vantage V12, Ferrari 360 etc etc.Swervin_Mervin wrote: ↑Thu Jun 13, 2019 10:42 pm Now with more powers, officially

I know where my money would go.
Re: A110
Having said that. Love the new colour options.
I always thought a 987 Boxster Spyder would compliment my 996 GT3 perfectly, but the A110 and the new Morgan PlusFour are making strong case.
