The electric Alpine A110 concept car will be on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed
The countdown has begun to the unveiling of the battery-powered successor to the brand’s most iconic model, the prototype of which will also be taking to the track at the British event
Key points
With production of the petrol- and diesel-powered A110 now complete, Alpine is preparing for the debut of the third generation of the iconic coupé, which will be its third fully electric model. The new model, which still bears the hallmarks of the concept car used to develop the production version – although it is likely to be very close to its final form – will make its first public appearance at Goodwood on 9 July, where it will be on display until Sunday 12 July and will take to the track at the Festival of Speed.
The electric Alpine A110 is based on a new architecture
At the event, its key features are also likely to be unveiled, along with its design, which is still, quite naturally, concealed by camouflage. At present, the only thing that is certain is that Alpine has designed and developed a new 800 V architecture for this model, which will undoubtedly be used in other future cars as well. It is called the APP (Alpine Performance Platform) and will enable the electric A110 to remain true to the brand’s DNA in terms of dynamism, thanks in part to innovative solutions and technologies.
The electric Alpine A110 will be the highlight of a ‘Festival within a Festival’ at Goodwood
To celebrate the recently retired iconic A110, Alpine will also be bringing to the Festival of Speed the many iconic variants of this model, which for a long time was the brand’s sole model. The Festival of Speed will therefore showcase a wide range of its evolutions, including, of course, those that have achieved the most prestigious sporting successes, alongside models from the current Alpine range: the electric A290 and A390.
But that’s not all, because Alpine’s presence at Goodwood will be rounded off by the drivers from the BWT Alpine Formula One Team, Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto, alongside those from the Alpine Academy and reserve drivers Nina Gademan, Paul Aron and Alex Dunne, who will also take to the track in the Formula 1 E20 and, throughout the four days of the event, will meet fans at the Alpine stand, where there will also be interactive simulators and daily entertainment.
