According to information from our colleagues at Autocar, the electric Alpine A110 will share its technical base with the Renault 5 Turbo 3E.
The fully electric replacement for the remarkable Alpine A110 is taking shape, and the latest insights from the UK provide particularly interesting clarity on its technical direction. According to an exclusive interview given to the British media Autocar, the future French sports car will be built on the same architecture as the radical Renault 5 Turbo 3E, an extreme electric model designed as a technological showcase.
The stated goal by Philippe Krief, head of the brand, is clear: to retain the DNA of lightness and precise handling that has made the thermal A110 famous while transitioning to the electric era. The new generation would thus use an aluminum platform called the Alpine Performance Platform, designed to accommodate a battery of around 70 kWh positioned behind the occupants. This layout would help maintain a very low driving position, almost comparable to the current model, with a cockpit inclined like that of a single-seater.
All the better
In terms of performance, the ambition is to exceed the 345 hp of the most powerful thermal version. Upon its launch, the future electric A110 is expected to adopt two rear motors, but the option of motors integrated into the wheels — like on the R5 Turbo 3E — is still being considered. A configuration that could open the door to particularly powerful all-wheel-drive variants.
Another key point: design. Without falling into neo-retro, the overall silhouette would remain true to the original spirit, featuring round headlights and modernized compact proportions. The interior, on the other hand, would lean more towards physical controls rather than a fully digital interface, in order to strengthen the emotional connection between the driver and the machine.

Finally, Alpine is looking beyond just a simple coupe. A convertible and 2+2 versions are already in the pipeline, with the explicit ambition to challenge the Porsche 911 in the premium sports car arena. A strategic electric shift, but above all a promise: to preserve the soul of a French sports car in a world without gasoline.
