Alpine Previews Next-Gen A110 With Electric Mule

  • Alpine has revealed a mule of the third-generation A110.
  • Car rides on a new platform and features dual rear motors.
  • The lineup will expand to include a new roadster variant.

Alpine has revealed the A110 Future, ahead of its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this week. It’s a development mule that hints at the electric, third-generation sports car.

Since this is a mule, there isn’t much to see as the prototype appears to wear a modified version of the outgoing A110 body. However, we can get a glimpse of a more aggressive front bumper and a blockier rear end with a side-mounted charging port. The model also sports a transparent, quick release hood as well as what appears to be a wider front track.

The automaker isn’t saying much at this point, but claimed the upcoming A110 will be the β€œworld’s first true EV sports car.” It will be underpinned by the new Alpine Performance Platform, which is a modular aluminum architecture that will also spawn an A110-based roadster as well as a new A310 four-seat sports coupe.

Alpine went on to say the next-generation sports car will have two battery packs, which have been broken up to deliver a 40:60 weight distribution for the β€œbalance of a true sports car.” The model will also have 800V technology and β€œhigh energy density cells to reduce weight and charging time.”

The batteries will power a new 3-in-1 rear e-axle with dual electric motors. They promise to deliver β€œexceptional torque, performance, and ultrafast control.”

Alpine went on to say the coupe will have an aluminum suspension with β€œnew integrated braking and steering systems.” While that’s a little hazy, the company said the car has been β€œdesigned to remain true to Alpine’s DNA while outperforming the best of today’s combustion sports cars.”
