Alpine continues unveiling special editions of the A110 sportscar. The latest addition to the range is the A110 Tour de Corse 75, inspired by the No. 7 Berlinette rallycar that took part in the 1975 Tour de Corse in France. The limited-production model will be produced in 150 units, allocated to specific markets.
Notably, the source of inspiration didn’t actually win the 1975 Tour de Corse, losing by a small margin to the Lancia Stratos HF. Still, Alpine remembers this race and wanted to honor the effort of this beautiful rally car.

Visually, the highlight of the special edition is the yellow livery with black and white graphics, reminicent of the old A110 Berlinette race car. The bonnet and roof are painted in black, while the number seven is beautifully integrated into the graphics on the rear end. The special A110 comes fitted with 18-inch Grand Prix wheels finished in gloss white, orange Brembo brake calipers, and a “Tour de Corse 75” badge on the front fenders.
Inside the cabin there is a numbered plaque showcasing the limited availability of the model, alongside special touches including Tour de Corse 75 embroidery on the Sabelt Racing bucket seats and optional competition harness. The model also comes standard with the new Alpine infotainment system that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.
There are no mechanical changes, with the mid-mounted turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine producing 296 hp (221 kW / 300 PS) and 340 Nm (251 lb-ft) of torque as in the existing GT and S variants, which means it can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 4.2 seconds. Alpine doesn’t specify it, but we guess that the rally-bred model will come with the sportier-tuned chassis of the S.
Out of the 150 units of the Alpine A110 Tour de Corse 75, five will be allocated to the UK market. Alpine opens the order books on June 17, with pricing starting from €80,000 ($83,132) in France, and from £66,855 ($80,883) in the UK.
