Alpine will bring the A110 Future development mule to the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed, giving the public its first dynamic look at the technology behind the next-generation A110.
The car is not the finished production model. It is a test mule, which means the bodywork is there mainly to hide and support the hardware underneath.
The mule appears to use the outgoing A110’s body, with wider wheel-arch extensions hinting at a broader track for the new car.
The finished third-generation A110 will sit on Alpine’s new Alpine Performance Platform, or APP. Alpine is claiming it as the world’s first true electric sports car, not merely an EV with sporty styling.
To get there, Alpine has avoided the usual flat battery-under-floor layout. Instead, the APP uses two battery packs placed to preserve a 40:60 front-to-rear weight balance.
The system uses 800V cell-to-pack battery technology, high-density cells, aluminium construction and a rear dual-motor e-axle with silicon-carbide inverters.
The idea is to keep the A110 feeling like an A110, not turn it into a heavy electric GT.
Alpine also said the platform uses aluminium suspension, integrated braking and new steering systems. No final output, weight, price or production launch date was given in this latest announcement.
The A110 Future will run up the Goodwood hill every day from July 9 to 12. It will also be joined by earlier A110 models as Alpine tries to link the original rally hero, the current petrol car and the incoming electric generation in one display.
Alpine’s Goodwood line-up will also include the A290 electric hot hatch and the A390 five-seat sport fastback.
The brand is bringing Formula One presence too, with Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto joined by Alpine Academy and reserve drivers Nina Gademan, Paul Aron and Alex Dunne.
