I'm trying to figure out the difference between the 2020 and the former model introduced in 2017.
I found this.

The Alpine gets an all-new, bonded and riveted aluminium platform, a mid-mounted 1.8-litre turbocharged engine shared with the latest Renault Sport Megane and a seven-speed Getrag dual-clutch gearbox too.

A110S
Introduced in June 2019, the A110S is a high performance and lightweight variant of the A110. The A110S benefits from increased power output (from 252 to 292 PS (185 to 215 kW; 249 to 288 hp)) from its 1.8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine as well as stiffer springs, new anti-rollbars, dampers, and carbon-ceramic brakes as sassed equipment. The ride height is lowered by 4 mm (0.16 in) and the car is fitted with special Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres having a stickier compound contributing to more grip on the tarmac.
The engine was retuned by installing a larger turbocharger. The peak power is achieved at 400 rpm higher than the standard engine. The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission remains unchanged. The new springs and anti-roll bars are 50 and 100 percent stiffer than the standard car. The ESC system has also been retuned to improve handling and comes with a full-defeat mode.[5]
Aesthetic changes include flag motifs, orange brake calipers and optional matte grey paintwork and lighter Fuchs alloy wheels. An optional carbon fibre roof with a gloss finish reduces 1.9 kg (4 lb) from the total weight of the car which is 1,114 kg (2,456 lb).[6][7]
The A110S can accelerate to 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.4 seconds (0.1 seconds faster than standard car) and has an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).[8]

I still am fuzzy if the car is just improved or all new (
and improved).
This new car certainly sounds much more nimble than what I recall reports of a few years ago saying.
I like the car a lot, but the Corvette seems to have undercut the competition.
Weight in pounds:
A110S = 2,500 ish
Cayman = 2,900 ish
Corvette = 3,500 ish
Evora = 3,200 ish
Elise 2,000 ish
