Esteban Ocon should take advantage of an in-between F1 Grand Prix next October, to go close to the stopwatch on the famous Nordschleife (20.832 km and 73 turns), the legendary loop of the Nürburgring circuit. Several witnesses recently saw a “mystery” Alpine A110, even more radical than the R (300 hp, 285 km/h, 3.9s 0 to 100 km/h) already on the market, carrying out speed tests on this track, in a burgundy livery highlighted with red inserts too beautiful to be camouflage. All underlined by specific air appendages and MP-Rezeau rims, hitherto unknown on this A110.
It remains to know the power of this A110 record hunter, and its future commercial version. To date, the A110 exists in 250 and 300 horsepower versions. We have seen that Alpine could integrate a power flirting with 500 hp on its unique copy, which won the third time in all categories on the Pikes Peak last June for its first with Raphaël Astier at the wheel.
Esteban Ocon could take advantage of the post Qatar GP on October 8 to try to beat the time held in his category since October 2021 in 7’09”300 by the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS driven by Jörg Bergmeister. As long as it doesn’t rain. The schedule is tight for the French driver who will have to join Texas (Austin) no later than October 16. Another option, if the calendar and the weather do not coincide, call on Raphaël Astier or Laurent Hurgon, Alpine development driver.
