Alpine’s Electric A110 Is Set for a Goodwood Debut in July

Alpine is preparing to take one of the sports-car world’s most delicate formulas into the electric era.

The next-generation A110 will make its debut on July 9 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, giving the French marque a very public stage for a car that has to carry plenty of expectation.

For Alpine, the task is clear enough. Keep the A110 light, compact and engaging, while moving it onto a battery-electric architecture.

At a glance

A Goodwood launch with Alpine’s F1 spotlight

Goodwood is a fitting venue for this kind of reveal, not least because the Festival of Speed has become as much about future performance cars as it is about historic machinery.

Alpine has already teased the new A110 through its social channels, signalling that the July unveiling will be one of the brand’s most important moments of the year.

The BWT Alpine Formula One Team will also be part of the global debut, with Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto due to attend.

That F1 presence matters because Alpine is leaning into its performance identity at a time when its road-car future is being reshaped around electrification.

A dedicated platform for the electric A110

The third-generation A110 will be built on the new Alpine Performance Platform, often shortened to APP.

That platform is significant because it points to a car developed around electric performance from the outset, rather than a combustion sports car converted to battery power.

Alpine has described the project in notably assertive terms, positioning the car as what it calls the world’s first true EV sports car.

That is a bold claim in a market where electric performance has often been measured by acceleration figures rather than delicacy, feedback and sustained driver engagement.

The weight challenge that defines the car

The current A110’s reputation rests heavily on restraint, with compact dimensions and low mass playing a bigger role than brute force.

That makes the electric successor’s weight and balance central to its credibility.

Industry chatter points to an 800-volt electrical architecture and a pair of rear-mounted electric motors, with the layout intended to preserve a rear-biased 40:60 weight distribution.

An aluminium-heavy construction has also been linked with the car, with a suggested target weight of around 1,400 kg.

If Alpine gets close to that figure, the new A110 could stand apart from heavier electric performance cars that rely on power to mask mass.

Details & Specifications

The next A110 won’t only be judged as an Alpine, or even as an electric Alpine.

It will be judged by whether it can make the EV sports car feel small, precise and alive, which is exactly the territory the A110 nameplate has always occupied best.
