French performance brand Alpine revealed plans for a next-generation electric A110 coupe with roughly 370 miles of range.
Last year proved highly successful for Alpine. The French sports-car maker reported sales growth of 139.2%, delivering 10,970 vehicles worldwide. Much of that momentum came from the launch of its newer, relatively accessible electric models—the Alpine A290 and Alpine A390. Both vehicles were developed under the Renaulution strategy introduced in 2021 by parent company Renault Group.
That long-term plan envisioned transforming Alpine into a premium electric-vehicle brand while also expanding into the strategically important U.S. market.
However, the roadmap has now been revised. During the presentation of its new development strategy, futuREady, Renault Group outlined a more modest plan for Alpine over the next four years. The updated roadmap consists of just two phases and only one completely new model.
In the first phase, Alpine will focus on strengthening its current business structure. That includes continued production of the mainstream electric models—the Alpine A290 and Alpine A390—along with the development of limited-run specialty models similar to the extreme Alpine A110 R Ultime.
At the same time, the company plans to keep building the brand’s iconic sports coupe, the Alpine A110, in small volumes for now. Alpine believes this combination—mass-market EVs, exclusive special editions, and its signature sports car—will continue attracting new customers.
The second phase introduces the brand’s next major product: a fully electric next-generation Alpine A110. Engineers are developing a dedicated aluminum chassis called the Alpine Performance Platform (APP). The platform is designed to house two 800-volt battery packs positioned at the front and rear of the car.
The goal is to achieve an ideal weight distribution of 40:60 while keeping the electric sports car’s dry weight near 3,300 pounds.
Power will come from two electric motors mounted on the rear axle. A central computer system called the Alpine Dynamic Module (ADM) will coordinate the motors along with thermal management, braking, and active aerodynamics. The car will also feature Alpine Active Torque Vectoring (AATV) and a fully aluminum body.
Alpine plans to offer the new model in three configurations: a two-seat coupe, a roadster, and a 2+2 coupe. The most spacious version is expected to deliver the longest range—an estimated 370 miles (about 595 km) on a full charge.
According to the company, the Alpine Performance Platform (APP) is modular, meaning it could underpin additional Alpine models in the future. In an interview with Autocar, Alpine CEO Philippe Krief even noted that the architecture could theoretically accommodate components of a fuel-powered drivetrain.
For now, however, it remains unclear whether the next-generation A110 might eventually receive a gasoline or hybrid variant.
There is also little information about the fate of the Alpine Alpenglow. The experimental model received a hydrogen powertrain in 2024, and the company had previously hinted at a possible production version around 2028. That project now appears uncertain.
Alpine has also stepped back from its earlier plan to enter the U.S. market. The company had been considering two new crossovers designed specifically for North America, but shifting tariffs and EV policies under Donald Trump reportedly changed the outlook.
As a result, Alpine’s leadership has decided to focus on its established markets in Europe and Asia instead.
