Next month's Goodwood Festival of Speed will play host to a major vehicle reveal for French automaker Alpine. On July 9, 2026, the next-generation Alpine A110 mule will make its public global debut, with the BWT Alpine Formula One Team there to present the car. This includes the team's two drivers, Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto.
For readers who aren't familiar with Alpine, the French manufacturer dates back to the 1950s and is most well known for the original A110, built from 1963 to 1977. Alpine brought back the A110 name in 2017 with a new mid-engine sports car designed to rival the Porsche Cayman, but despite constant rumors of it coming to America, the car has never been sold stateside.
The third-generation Alpine A110 will be the first to feature a fully electric powertrain using the company's all-new Alpine Performance Platform (APP). Alpine says the APP makes the new A110 the "world's first true EV sports car."
Rumors suggest the first model on the APP will have an 800-volt architecture with two electric motors positioned at the rear to maintain a 40:60 weight balance. An aluminum construction will help keep the weight down to Alpine's targeted 1,400-kilogram (3,086-pound) curb weight, which, combined with active torque vectoring, should ensure it remains fun to drive. While that doesn't match the current A110's svelte 2,400-pound mass, it's pretty light for an EV.
