The new Alpine A110 EV will get two electric motors and two battery packs

Alpine still won’t show us the electric A110, but it has started to share some interesting tech specs

What you’re looking at above is not the new Alpine A110. In fact, it is simply an artist’s impression based on a guess that Renault’s sporting brand won’t stray too far from its current design language. Looks pretty neat though, right?

Anyway, while we remain in the dark about the visuals, we do at least now have a bit more technical detail on the upcoming A110. And yes, it definitely will be electric.

In fact, Alpine is developing a whole new platform for this EV sports car that it has inventively titled the ‘Alpine Performance Platform’ or APP for short. This aluminium architecture apparently “addresses all the technical challenges around weight, design and electrification”. We’ll have to wait and see if that’s true, but we do know Alpine is targeting a kerbweight of around 1,400kg for the coupe.

We also now know that it’ll feature two separate 800-volt battery packs in order to “respect the 40:60 front to rear balance of a true sports car”, and that it’ll get two electric motors on the rear axle. Alpine has also confirmed a full aluminium suspension setup, and we’re promised something called Alpine Active Torque Vectoring “to ensure a true lightweight feel”.
