Alpine A110 Première Edition: The “Lightness” Rework
The A110 is a “purist’s toy,” weighing in at just 1,103 kg. This overhaul moves away from standard sports car templates to replicate the Alpine’s unique agility and its surprisingly soft, communicative suspension.
1.8L Turbo & Getrag DCT: Precision Power
The Alpine-tuned 1.8L engine (M5P) has been recalibrated to its exact 2018 launch specifications:
- Engine & Torque Rework: Calibrated to an authentic 252 PS (249 hp) @ 6,000 rpm and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) of torque. The torque is now available from just 2,000 rpm, reflecting the engine’s responsive, “punchy” character.
- 7-Speed DCT Calibration: The drivetrain has been reworked with bespoke gear ratios and shift logic for the Getrag 7-speed wet-clutch system. We’ve specifically tuned the shift times to be faster in “Track” mode, allowing you to “surf the torque” through a British-style back road.
- 0–100 km/h in 4.5s: Every gear ratio and power value has been tuned to hit the factory acceleration benchmarks consistently.
Chassis & Dynamics: The Art of Agility
The A110 is famous for having lower limits than a Cayman, which makes it more fun at “responsible” speeds.
- Suspension Geometry: Reworked the double-wishbone front and rear suspension. We have simulated the A110’s inherent softness—it rolls more than its rivals, but this gives the driver incredible feedback on weight transfer and grip levels.
- Weight Distribution: Corrected the mass to 1,103 kg with a 44:56 rear-biased distribution. This makes the car feel nimble on turn-in but requires a smooth hand to manage the rear end on exit.
- Aero Balance: Re-calibrated the drag coefficient ($C_d$) to 0.32. The car features a functional diffuser and a flat floor, allowing it to reach its 250 km/h (155 mph) limited top speed with stability, despite the lack of a rear wing.
Visual & Technical Polish
- Extension Enhancements: Custom
ext_config.initweaks for CSP improve the refraction of the unique “X” pattern taillights and the Alcantara/quilted leather textures of the Sabelt bucket seats. - AI Improvements: The AI has been retrained to handle the A110’s short-ratio gearbox and high-speed cornering stability. They are now much more adept at “short-shifting” to maintain traction.
- General Bugfixes: Corrected the fuel tank capacity (45L) and fixed minor lighting glitches in the cockpit.
