A 2023 Alpine A110 R with only 1,000 miles on the clock and carbon wheels is available for purchase at a discount of £5,000 off the original list price. The A110 R is a track-focused version of the A110 sports car, known for its lightweight construction, powerful engine, and aggressive styling.
You can't buy an R with carbon wheels anymore. But here's one already run-in with £5k off...It was inevitable that Alpine was going to launch a track-honed version of the A110. Everything was there for an even more focused driving machine, not least the lightweight all-aluminium chassis and a rorty 1.8-litre turbo engine with plenty of headroom for high power outputs.
That came two years into the sports car’s life cycle with the A110S. Visual changes were on the modest side , with a new colour pallet the only real point of difference Underneath, however, the upgrades were more substantial. Power leapt from 252hp to 292hp, the suspension was overhauled with firmer springs, dampers and anti-roll bars, and greater stopping power came from punchier brakes.
They were a fair bit lighter, too. Combined, the carbon rims saved a whopping 12.5kg over the base car, while the engine cover, bonnet and dual-exit sports exhaust saved a further nine kilos. There can’t have been much to strip from the interior, because there wasn’t much in there to begin with, but carbon-backed Sabelt buckets, consisting of a few bits of padding glued to the seat shells, stripped five precious kilos.
, although that came at the hefty, hefty premium of €300,000 . Not that the standard R was cheap, and arguably it's still positioned a bit too close to its flat-six rival to make it a no-brainer for buyers.all the more eye-catching. It’s a 2023 car with only 1,000 miles on the clock, and yet at £86,250 it actually represents a nice discount on the original list price.

Diversified Crop Rotations with Manure Don't Sequester More Carbon, Study FindsA new study by Iowa State University researchers challenges the notion that longer, more diverse crop rotations fertilized with livestock manure enhance carbon sequestration. The study, conducted over 20 years at Marsden Farm, found that soil carbon levels remained stable despite increased carbon inputs from manure and diverse root systems. The researchers attribute this result to accelerated decomposition driven by heightened microbial activity, which leads to greater carbon dioxide emissions.
