16.4.2019 Fichtenberg (Germany). Mid engine, short wheelbase and a Suspension with double wishbones: The re-born Alpine A110 is one of the most interesting sports car releases of the past few years.
Specifically for Clubsport-affine Alpine-A110-driver, the suspension manufacturer KW automotive has developed the Clubsport coilover. The independently in compression and rebound forces are adjustable damper to unleash the Performance of the Alpine A110 on the track. Thanks to the multi-valve technology of KW Clubsport damper is quickly and easily possible to ideally adjust the cushioning to the track layout, and tyre characteristics of the reared Semislick-Tires. As a result, the Alpine is the most challenging driving maneuvers in the dynamic driving limit range is made richer, and better controlled on the road.
Through the separate compression and Rebound adjustment, you can set the KW Clubsport coilover suspension on a street tune for a more comfortable ride.

That is, an engine output of 252 horsepower is more than sufficient to enjoy at any time of a sporty driving experience, and proves the born-again, Alpine with its light weight of around 1,100 kg. With its Central engine, the short wheelbase and a Suspension with double cross-the new Alpine A110’s arms for a passionate driving machine. For the already sold-out Alpine “Première Edition” has been developed by the chassis manufacturer, the KW Clubsport 2-way coilover.
The independently in compression and rebound – adjustable Track-Performance suspension is now available for $ 2,499. “Hardly any of the Central engine-to see athletes at that time at the Auto Salon in Geneva, we received countless requests”, says KW product Manager Johannes Wacker. “Many of our Trackday Partner ordered the KW Clubsport suspension kit for the Alpine and have already secured the limited ‘Premiere Edition’.

With twelve clicks of the cross section in the low-speed can be reduced-pressure stage of the valve, or increased to change the damping. In the case of abruptly increased suggestions of damping, such as occur when riding over Curbs or bumps, open in addition to the low-speed valve, the pre-configured high-speed valve, for accurate and quick compression. So the club sport chassis for an optimum support of the Chassis and reduces body roll significantly. Even on uneven road surfaces, the Alpine wins by the KW technology as more ride comfort. In addition, it can be adjusted with 16 clicks adjustable rebound damping the roll for a better build-up control or the driving comfort ideal.
The two-stage rebound valves have a low-speed Bypass, due to the slow damper speeds, the low volume flow, and at higher speeds, opens the main rebound valve. As a result, a significant increase in driving comfort without affecting the high speed in the safety-relevant area. In the context of that part of the opinion of the coilover kit allows a continuous lowering of 10 to 35 mm. In the letter, the KW variant 3 for the Alpine A110 appears.
