Alpine A110 once again prevails in the tastes of readers. With 11,8% of the votes, the French sports car takes first place in the Sportive – Import category of the “Best Cars 2026” award, organized by the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport. A total of 94.911 readers and online users participated in the 50° edition of the competition, evaluating over 480 models divided into 13 categories. In this context, the A110 not only conquers the top of its category but also ranks third in the overall sports car standings.
New award for Alpine A110
This new recognition enriches a particularly intense final production phase for the current generation of A110, culminating in the launch of the ultra-limited special edition A110 R Ultime, a sports car designed with true racing DNA. The project benefited from the contribution of an expert test driver and collaboration with leading partners in motorsport, all elements that allowed for the transfer of technical know‑how and racing character into a version intended only for the most demanding collectors.

Collector’s items
The new A110 R Ultime is a true collector’s item: produced in only 110 units, it includes 15 ultra‑exclusive models called “La Bleue”, now all sold out. These units are distinguished by the fusion of two iconic blue shades of the brand, applied with a hand-crafted gradient at the Dieppe plant, and by the blue leather interiors by Poltrona Frau and Sabelt, which enhance the many customization possibilities offered by the Atelier of the French manufacturer. All versions of the current A110 will continue to be produced at the Alpine Jean Rédélé plant until the middle of 2026. While the baton will be taken up by a new 100% electric generation, based on the APP platform.
