Alpine has officially confirmed that the A110’s next chapter will be fully electric, drawing a clear line under the acclaimed, lightweight ICE coupé and setting a timeline for the handover. The brand says production of the current A110 in Dieppe will end in mid-2026 after a final, limited run of 1,750 cars—framing the transition to an all-new EV successor.
While detailed specs aren’t yet published, Alpine leadership has begun sketching the brief. CEO Philippe Krief has indicated the electric successor is targeting a curb weight under 1,300 kg (≈2,866 lb)—exceptionally light for a battery-powered sports car—and output exceeding the 464 hp benchmark set by Alpine’s A390 crossover.
The car is slated to remain rear-drive, achieved via a sophisticated twin-motor rear axle, and to be offered in multiple body styles, including a coupé, a roadster, and potentially a 2+2. Timing discussed by Krief points to a market debut around 2027.
The platform strategy is equally telling. Alpine has referenced a new “High-Performance Electric Platform” (also reported as the APP platform) as the basis for the A110’s EV replacement—underscoring a focus on energy-dense battery packaging and thermal management so performance doesn’t fade on a twisty road or a track day. That aligns with comments about modular battery packs designed for future upgrades, a nod to longevity and enthusiast-friendly evolution.
Alpine A110 Electric Successor Announced
Design-wise, expect continuity of philosophy rather than a retro re-skin. Krief has said the new car will keep the A110’s compact footprint but adopt completely fresh styling. The goal is to preserve the celebrated agility and driver feedback of today’s A110 while adding the instant torque and precise torque-vectoring opportunities that come with electric propulsion. Alpine’s recent motorsport-informed projects (and the brand’s first EV, the A290 hot hatch) suggest immersive driver controls and track durability will be part of the package.
There is, however, some noise about possible combustion involvement. A handful of reports have floated the idea of a hybrid or gas-assisted variant joining the EV, mirroring broader sports-car market hedging. Alpine hasn’t confirmed any ICE derivative for the successor; for now, the official line is an electric A110 replacement, with any hybrid talk remaining speculative.
For collectors and late adopters of the current model, Alpine’s timeline matters. With fewer than 2,000 final units planned and order books closing ahead of mid-2026 build-out, the outgoing A110 is entering its last chapter after nearly nine years on sale.
The baton then passes to an EV whose mission is unusually ambitious: deliver the delicacy, feedback, and featherweight feel that made the A110 special—without gasoline. If Alpine hits its weight and power targets, the successor could set a new template for electric driver’s cars rather than simply being an electrified homage.
