The Alpine A110 GT4 may be hogging the spotlight in Geneva, but the French automaker’s booth also includes a pair of special edition A110s with personalities of their own. The Alpine A110 Pure Edition is the driver-focused version of the three new special edition A110s. Meanwhile, the Alpine A110 Legende is the comfort-oriented version. Altogether, the three special edition A110s help add more variety to the A110 lineup, giving customers the opportunity to choose which of these three versions suit them best.

We’ve already dedicated some time to the A110 GT4, so this space is reserved for the Pure and Legende versions of the French sports car.

The A110 Pure Edition is the most driver-focused version of the three special editions, which essentially means that it’s the most no-nonsense version of the lot. You can see it by just looking at it. There are no fancy colors and no overblown aerodynamic bits. About the only things that it has that counts as added aesthetics are the matte carbon fiber cabin trim and microfiber interior upholstery. It also gets one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh just under 30 pounds (13.1 kilos) per seat. Weight-savings is the defining trait of this particular A110, so it’s no surprise that as a whole, the A110 Pure Edition weighs just 2,380 pounds (1,080 kilos), making it the lightest of the three special edition A110s.

“The Pure’s sporting personality is demonstrated by its Sabelt sports seats, matte carbon fiber interior trim, and 17-inch wheels,” said Antony Villain, Alpine’s head of design. “It is clearly the most stripped-back, focused version of the A110.”

Those who opt for the A110 Pure Edition do have the option to add some things to the sports car. An active sports exhaust is available as an option. More powerful Brembo brakes are also on the menu, as is a set of 18-inch wheels, six-way adjustable comfort seats that are themselves light in weight, and a choice of two Focal audio systems.

Meanwhile, the A110 Legende Edition is the luxury grand tourer version among the three special edition A110s. This particular version carries its own unique set of upgrades, including a set of two-tone 18-inch ‘Légende’ wheels that pay homage to the wheel design on the original A110 Berlinette 1600S. If this set isn’t to your liking, two more 18-inch wheel designs are also available. Inside, the A110 Legende Edition can be customized with full leather upholstery in black or brown and a gloss-finished carbon fiber interior trim.

More upgrades for this special edition A110 can be achieved by getting similar add-ons like the ones available to the A110 Pure Edition. This includes an active sports exhaust, heated seats, and a Focal Premium audio system that adds a subwoofer to the pair of speakers and two tweeters that it already has. The result is a car that weighs a little more than the A110 Pure Edition — 2,475 pounds (1,123 kilos) — but makes up for it with a more polished look and feel to it.

“The Légende’s heritage flavors, including brown leather upholstery and 18-inch ‘Légende’ wheels, which are inspired by an original A110 Berlinette 1600S wheel design, indicate a more refined character,” Villain said.

Alpine didn’t say how much the A110 Pure and A110 Legende Editions are going to cost. For reference, the A110 Premiere Edition that the automaker released early last year was priced at €57,500, or around $71,300.
