Alpine Reveals Camouflaged A110 Future Mule Ahead of Goodwood Run
Split front‑and‑rear battery packs, an 800‑volt cell‑to‑pack system and a rear three‑in‑one e‑axle are designed to preserve the A110’s low seating and rear‑biased handling as it goes electric.
Overview
- Alpine unveiled a camouflaged A110 Future development mule, which was revealed Monday and is scheduled to run at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this week.
- The company confirmed the next A110 will sit on the new Alpine Performance Platform and use two battery packs placed front and rear to target a 40:60 front‑to‑rear weight distribution.
- Alpine said the car will use 800‑volt cell‑to‑pack batteries with high‑energy‑density cells to cut weight and speed up charging, and the batteries feed a rear three‑in‑one e‑axle with dual motors.
- Chassis choices to limit mass include an aluminium suspension and new integrated braking and steering systems, and the mule’s modified outgoing A110 body shows a side charging port, wider track and quick‑release hood for testing.
- Alpine plans the APP architecture to underpin variants including a roadster and a four‑seat A310, and the company will offer fuller production details and performance figures at public reveals to follow, including the Paris motor show in October.
