The A110 Future is a development mule for an electric sports car.
It has a rear-wheel-drive layout with a pair of electric motors.
Alpine is bringing it to the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed next week.
35,450. That’s how many A110s have been built since the original model launched in 1969. Most belong to the second generation, which debuted in 2017 and rolled off the assembly line for the final time a few days ago when the 28,701st car was completed in Dieppe. As the saying goes, out with the old and in with the new. Renault’s performance arm is already previewing the third-generation model, though it won’t be a direct successor.
Currently known as the A110 Future, the development car is essentially a test mule. Gone is the turbocharged 1.8-liter gasoline engine mounted behind the seats. Alpine is replacing the four-cylinder engine, which traces its roots to the Megane RS hot hatch, with a dual-motor setup while keeping the rear-wheel-drive layout. Mind you, this is far more than just an electric conversion of the old car. It’s an all-new development based on the Alpine Performance Platform (APP).
