Alpine EV shift: A110 Future debut and Future, A390 rollout GT, six‑model plan
Alpine completed second‑generation Alpine’s internal‑combustion A110 production on 1 ended in early July 2026 and, from 9–12 July, 2026, with the final R 70 rolling off the Dieppe line. The marque simultaneously unveiled the all‑electric A110 Future prototype at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The show car retains the classic silhouette while employing Built on the new Alpine Performance Platform (APP): an (APP), the 800‑volt, split‑battery layout (reported as 40 % rear/60 % cell‑to‑pack system splits the 70 kWh battery between a front in earlier briefings) that feeds module (≈25 % of capacity) and a rear module (≈75 %), achieving a 40:60 front‑rear weight balance and a low centre‑of‑gravity layout. The prototype uses dual rear‑mounted electric motors delivering roughly 464 hp, up to 300 hp (≈220 kW) and 340 Nm, with an optional front motor adding about 300 hp. An 800‑volt 70 kWh pack provides a real‑world that could raise total output toward 500–600 hp while keeping curb weight near 1 450 kg. Real‑world range of is quoted at 400–560 km and km, with a 20‑minute full‑power stint sufficient for three fast Nürburgring laps. CEO Philippe Krief highlighted the challenge of fitting 500–600 hp into a sub‑1,500‑kg two‑seater. On 29 July 2026 Alpine reiterated the A110 Future concept at Goodwood, emphasizing cell‑to‑pack technology and a front‑rear battery split described as a smaller 25 % unit ahead and a larger 75 % unit at the rear. The manufacturer again stressed the 800‑volt architecture, a target curb weight under 1.5 tonnes, and the aim of achieving at least three rapid laps around the Nürburgring Nordschleife. No new details on capacity, range or power output were disclosed. Pierre Gasly performed the first hill‑climb run, and historic A110 models were displayed alongside the prototype, with drivers such as Franco Colapinto and Nina Gademan engaging fans. Alpine confirmed market launch in 2027, with production Production is slated for late 2026 at Dieppe and with customer deliveries beginning in early 2027, offering hardtop, roadster, all‑wheel‑drive 2027; variants will include hard‑top, roadster and a larger an all‑wheel‑drive 2+2 variant. The final internal‑combustion A110 rolled off the Dieppe line in July, marking model. Alongside the end of that era, while A110, Alpine introduced launched the A390 GT, its first model on the APP platform, GT crossover, priced around CHF 64,500. 64 500, producing 295 kW (400 hp), 661 Nm and a WLTP range of 551 km. At Goodwood the brand also outlined a six‑model electric lineup – A290 hot‑hatch, A390 crossover, A110 sportscar and three future models – with a North‑American market entry planned after 2029 and a focus on exclusive, high‑performance EVs.
