I wasn’t expecting to spot an Alpine A110 S in Ted Lasso, but there it is.
The red sports car is driven by Keeley Jones, played by Juno Temple. It appears outside the Richmond training ground in Season 4, Episode 3, “Richmond’s Got Talent.”
Keeley Jones’ Alpine A110 S in Ted Lasso
I spotted it at around 00:33:05.
It’s an Alpine A110 S, the more performance-focused version of the A110.
It’s a pretty unusual car to see on screen too. You don’t run into an Alpine nearly as often as a Porsche, BMW or Mercedes.
A Little About the Alpine A110 S
Alpine is a French sports car brand owned by Renault Group, and the A110 is built in Dieppe, Normandy, France.
The A110 S is a small mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports coupe built around keeping weight down.
It uses a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 300 hp, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The car weighs around 1,109 kg (2,445 lb) and can do 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds.
That’s really the interesting part of the A110 S. It doesn’t need a huge engine to be quick. It’s light, compact and built much more around handling than outright size or power.
And it’s still built at Alpine’s historic factory in Dieppe, where the original A110 was produced decades ago.
