Overview
- The full‑scale A110 sculpture was unveiled on Monday and will be shown at the Paris Motor Show as a public preview of the car’s styling.
- Alpine says the next A110 is being developed as an electric‑first model on a bespoke Alpine Performance Platform that uses aluminium to keep occupants low and allow multiple bodystyles.
- Engineering shown at Goodwood and described by Alpine includes a dual‑motor rear axle with active torque vectoring, two smaller batteries placed at each end of the chassis, and an 800‑volt electrical system for faster charging.
- Chief executive Philippe Krief has confirmed the platform can accommodate an internal‑combustion engine, Alpine plans a decision on a petrol or hybrid option by the end of 2026, and a green light could add roughly two years to the program; the car has also been through U.S. crash testing as part of market evaluation.
- Industry reporting warns the EV architecture could add about 300 kg to the car’s weight, so Alpine must balance packaging and mass to try to preserve the lightness and agility that define the A110 ahead of a full reveal planned for 2027.
