Alpine A110 R Le Mans: 100 exclusive units for the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans®

2024 Alpine A110 R Le Mans

ALPINE - With its A110 R Le Mans limited series, Alpine pays tribute to the world's most prestigious endurance race to mark its centenary. The brand has been involved in endurance racing since the 1960s, thanks to its founder Jean Rédélé, right up to the famous victory of the A442 in 1978. Alpine stepped up its endurance racing with Signatech in LMP2 and then LMP1 and is now looking to the future by taking on the new LMDh Hypercar category from 2024.

 

"Alpine will unveil the A110 R Le Mans in action on the 24 Hours of Le Mans track the day before the centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans®, joined by 100 Alpine owners. Limited to 100 units, this iconic limited series follows in the legendary footsteps of the GTA Le Mans, combining sophisticated aerodynamics with an incredible power-to-weight ratio, as did the Alpine M63, the first Alpine to compete at Le Mans in 1963. The A110 R Le Mans is the most radical A110 celebrating the most radical competition," explains Emmanuel Al Nawakil, VP, Alpine Sales, Network and Launching.  

Performance: a radical vision of racing born from competition

Based on the A110 R, it features all the carbon components on the roof, wheels and interior with monocoque Sabelt® Track bucket seats. It also incorporates a carbon wing evoking the endurance racing cars style and Alpine Elf Endurance Team's A480 design. Lightweight components, already used on the A110 R, contribute to its high level of performance with an acceleration time from 0 to 100kph of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 285 kph on track.

The A110 R Le Mans limited series comes with a Road & Track chock, an innovation patented by Alpine, which lowers and stiffens the car by 5% for even better stability on the track. This technical development, coupled with a specific suspension setting, enhances performance on the long Mulsanne straight and in the fast corners of the 24-Hours circuit.

Ultra-sporty design expressing boldness and aerodynamics on the 24 Heures du Mans Circuit®

The A110 R Le Mans is recognisable by its exclusive white and blue 24 Heures du Mans® livery. A thin double line of blue and white is applied to the front bonnet, roof and rear wing in a reference to racing, complemented by the blue fins. A blue piping strip distinguishes the carbon wheels, which are open at the rear for even greater braking endurance, whilst the shark fin on the carbon rear window is a reference to the A480 which competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans®.

This emblematic limited series receives the official 24 Hours of Le Mans® signature on the front spoilers, side sills and microfibre headrest pads of the Sabelt® Track bucket seats. In the ultimate nod to Le Mans, the layout of the 24 Hours circuit is subtly laser-engraved on the sun visor.

Lastly, the A110 R Le Mans bears a numbered plate from the Dieppe factory with the official 24 Hours of Le Mans® signature to mark the 100 examples of this iconic version of the A110 R.

Enjoy an exceptional Alpine experience with the A110 R Le Mans.

Future A110 R Le Mans owners will join Alpine's 'Band of Racers'. They will have exclusive access to the Alpine Elf Endurance Team facilities in 2024 and an opportunity to take a lap of the track, in its complete specification, for an unforgettable experience in their A110 R Le Mans on the morning before the start of the race.

Caravaggio Corvettes Unveils Unica Series 1, its first C8 Corvette Line with Stunning Euro-Styled Carbon Fiber Body for Stingray and ZO6

CARAVAGGIO - Caravaggio Corvettes has announced the stunning new Unica Series 1, a limited-edition sports car with an elegant, redesigned carbon fiber body based on the Stingray and ZO6 C8 Corvette. Only 30 of the gorgeous cars will be hand-built and documented for future collectability.

“We’ve made the Corvette a blank canvas for owners to design and build the one-off car of their dreams since 1986,” said John Caravaggio, founder and CEO of Caravaggio Corvettes. “Our new Unica Series 1 is a natural evolution for Caravaggio Corvettes. We will offer 30 carbon fiber bodied C8 Corvettes with a sophisticated design that builds upon the current car’s design. The reimagined car has organic styling that combines the best of American sports car culture with the cultured lines of a European exotic.” 

A Canadian custom car manufacturing company specializing in Corvettes, John Caravaggio has been creating bespoke custom versions of the American sports car for almost four decades. His shop, truly a North American Carrozzeria offers handcrafted interiors and exteriors, along with performance upgrades for the Corvette. Each car is a work of art that was completely individualized from top to bottom.

Caravaggio Corvette guides clients to add their own personality and tastes to every element of their vehicle. They can choose from an unlimited amount of interior and exterior options including fabrics, leathers, carbons, colors and finishes. Performance upgrades range from a supercharger, Brembo brakes, additional cooling, various wheels and engine tuning. Each car will wear special badges that proudly identifies it as a Caravaggio Unica Series 1 Corvette.

“While we’re creating the first numbered and documented series in our history, no two cars will be alike,” said Caravaggio. “Each client will have a private consultation with me to create the Unica Series 1 C8 Corvette that matches their personality and taste. We will personalize their exterior color and wheel choices, bespoke the interior and choose any performance upgrades. The result will be a one-off car designed and built in the tradition of the great custom coach builders in Europe.”

Not only does the carbon fiber body give Caravaggio Corvettes the opportunity to restyle the C8, it slices approximately 40 pounds off the car. To make the Unica Series 1 Corvettes even more special, five of them can be optioned with the carbon fiber body in a European exposed weave. This will give the C8 an exotic finish that will impress anyone who spies it.

Almost any color in the world is available for the Caravaggio Unica Series 1 C8 Corvette, limited only by a client’s imagination and paint manufacturer. Custom stripes can be painted on the sleek car and clear coated to ensure clean and precise edges throughout the design.

Interior choices for the Unica Series 1 C8 include full handcrafted leather, bold colors for seats and stitching, matte carbon pieces and Alcantara accents. The interior can include stripes or badging that mirrors the exterior. Thumb grips can be added to the steering wheel, which gives a look and feel comparable to European exotics.

MSRP for the Unica Series 1 Caravaggio Corvette package starts at USD$110,000, not including the base Stingray or ZO6 C8. Orders for the 30 limited edition Unica Series 1 Caravaggio Corvettes are being accepted and production of the cars will begin in the second quarter of 2022. Each masterpiece will be custom designed, built, tested and documented at the company’s facility in Concord, Ontario, Canada.

In addition to building exotic, custom versions of the C8 Corvette for clients worldwide, Caravaggio also offers a full line of late-model Corvette parts and customizes C5-C8 Corvettes.
