Alpine Shows Electric A110 Mule on New Modular Performance Platform

The Goodwood demonstration forces a commercial choice between an EV-led launch or a petrol follow-up to secure buyers in the United States.

Overview

  • Alpine ran an A110 Future development mule at Goodwood that confirms the new Alpine Performance Platform and a working electric A110 in motion.
  • The APP hardware uses two rear e-motors, an 800-volt battery system and a split pack roughly 25% front and 75% rear with torque vectoring to preserve A110-like handling.
  • CEO Philippe Krief set firm milestones that place A110 development completion in October and a commercial decision on a petrol variant by the end of Q4 2026, with roughly two years to production if approved.
  • A petrol successor is being considered mainly because U.S. EV uptake remains low and because French tax rules, Euro 7 compliance costs, and limited Renault engine options complicate any internal-combustion path.
  • Alpine aims for high performance while controlling weight with a reported target near 464 hp, a sub‑3,000 lb goal, plans for multiple body variants and at least two APP generations, and possible high‑power special editions.
