## Why is the Alpine A110 special?

Because of what it does not have. It weighs just over 1,100kg where a Porsche 718 Cayman is nearer 1,400 and a BMW M4 well over 1,700. Less weight means smaller brakes, softer springs and narrower tyres all do the job, so the car rides properly and still changes direction instantly.

## How does the A110 S differ from the standard car?

Stiffer springs and anti-roll bars, larger brakes, wider tyres and more power — 296bhp against about 250bhp in the base car. The S is firmer and quicker, reaching 62mph in 4.2 seconds. The standard A110 rides better; the S is the one to take when the roads are good.

## What does it cost to hire an Alpine A110 S?

Expect a refundable deposit near £2,500 and a matching insurance excess, with 12,000 miles a year included and about £1.50 a mile beyond. Figures are confirmed in writing before you commit.

## Is it practical enough for a weekend away?

For two people, just about. There is a small boot behind the engine and another under the bonnet, which together take soft bags rather than suitcases. The cabin is snug and the seats are firm. Nobody hires an A110 for luggage capacity, but a weekend for two works.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the Alpine A110 automatic?

Yes. It uses a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic with paddles behind the wheel. No manual gearbox was offered on this car, so there is no version to choose between.

### How old do I need to be to hire an A110 S?

Partners typically ask for drivers aged 28 or over with at least five years on a full licence and no more than six penalty points. It is a light, mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive car and insurers treat it accordingly.

### Is the A110 comfortable on a long drive?

More than you would expect. The S is firm, but the suspension has real travel and the car is quiet enough at a motorway cruise. The limitation is space rather than ride quality.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*
