Overview
- Alpine completed production of the second‑generation A110 on Wednesday with a commemorative A110 R 70 in Bleu Alpine, closing a 2017–2026 run of 28,701 cars and 35,450 total A110s built at Dieppe since 1969.
- The Dieppe factory will be retooled and upgraded so it can assemble the third‑generation A110 on the bespoke Alpine Performance Platform (APP), with investment in new tooling and industrial processes.
- Alpine has confirmed the next A110 will debut as an electric car on APP while keeping the platform adaptable to internal‑combustion hardware as a strategic hedge against changing markets and rules.
- Reported technical targets being developed for the EV A110 include a dual‑motor, rear‑drive layout with active torque vectoring, two separate battery packs arranged for about 40:60 front‑to‑rear weight distribution, and fully aluminium suspension.
- Alpine plans a dynamic prototype appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed ahead of a fuller public reveal at the Paris motor show in October, a rollout intended to connect the brand’s Dieppe heritage with its electric future.
