The new Alpine A110 launched in 2017 as a rival to the Porsche 718 Cayman and Alfa Romeo 4C. Since then, Alpine has been improving the A110 by making it even lighter and more powerful.

With a curb weight as low as 2,380 pounds depending on the variant, the A110 is one of the lightest and best-handling sports cars in its class and we adore its retro styling. It's a shame, then, that this superb sports car has never been sold in America. To make us even more envious, Alpine has launched a new special-edition variant combining the comfort of the current Legende model with the power of the A110S.

Dubbed the A110 Legende GT, production is limited to just 300 units in Europe. As standard, the Legende GT is finished in a new Mercury Silver finish, but it's also available in Abyss Blue. The limited-edition sports car rides on 18-inch diamond-cut wheels with contrasting gold brake calipers and also features unique translucent LED taillights.

Inside, the six-way adjustable leather seats are available in either amber or black with matching leather door panels. The center console, dashboard visor, and air vents also feature glossy carbon fiber accents. A plate below the center console with the build number highlights the model's exclusivity.

Under the hood is a 1.8-liter turbo engine producing 292 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, this setup enables the A110 Legende GT to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 155 mph.

In addition to the bespoke styling details, the limited-edition model boasts more standard equipment including front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera and a premium audio system. In Europe, pricing for the 2021 Alpine A110 Legende GT starts at €71,600 ($86,546).
