I was not aware that Alpine was selling these in the U.S. Europe, Japan, Australia and other markets only I thought?

Keep in mind this is vs an A90 not A91.

The UK doesn't have the higher HP supra yet. Same 335hp 2 port as our 2020's for all years in the UK.

Also, A91 is just a trim. They are all A90's. This has been repeated ad nauseam already.

Yeah, it's not sold in US, but multiple people on the forum had shown interest with several saying they ordered one in EU. So, I'm curious about their feedback.

Yes I realize they only offer the 2 port outside the US.

A91 is a 6 port (in the US market) so it’s more than a trim level. Unless you’re referring to the UK market specifically.

Owning a 2020 & 2022 I can confirm they drive significantly different than one another, which in the US market it’s much more than just a trim level.

The A90/A91 reminds me very much of the S2000 AP1/AP2 which was only changed to satisfy us finicky American buyers.

No, all Mk5 supras are A90. A91 are the special trims like the 2021 A91, 2022 A91 CF and the 2023 A91-MT

Other than the special trims, all 2020-2023 are A90.

A91 doesn't mean '6 port'. All A91s happen to have six ports, A91 is just a trim. I have a 2021 A90, it's not a 91. See above link.

I remember waaaay back when this thread was about an Alpine A110. Those were the days….

I don't own an A110 but a good friend of mine has a A110 S which has a bit more horsepower (290HP) but same max. torque than std model. We went to only one trackday so far to compare our cars.
In straight line the Alpine is very similar to the 335HP Supra, but we don't do drag race or things like that. The Alpine is more tossable and nimble in tight curves, the supra more "drifty". The Alpine is also very very tight on space, with 2 minuscule trunk/frunk, far less than caymans/supras.
Engine wise, the alpine is a 1,8 liters from Renault, already pushed far so increasing the power might be a gamble. Same thing with torque because of the gearbox.

To sum-up my thoughts:
- Alpine -> Unbeatable for narrow or "alpine" roads, excellent base for trackdays, raw experience
- Supra -> More engine tuning possibilities, more "GT" feel with trunk and comfort, better for drift.

I love both cars but needed trunk and wanted a big engine (for european standard ) for holiday trips.
One drawback for the alpine though is difficulty to get spares (sometimes months), in Europe you need to go to Renault and my friend had bad experience with them so far.

My mate absolutely loves his.

Not bad for a Renault.

2022's are a92, and 2023's are a93 right?

I know they are all A90s but it’s still very similar to the AP1 & AP2 debacle from the S2000. Was widely debated. I’m not saying the A91 is a model it’s just a revised A90 (more than trim revision). I was being my sarcastic self. The A91 term only exists because of American consumers “wanting more power”.
