The next-generation Alpine A110<\/a> will make its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed<\/a>\u00a0in prototype form.<\/p>\n

The French sporting brand has released the first image of the test mule that will be displayed as part of an ‘Alpine moment’ alongside several\u00a0variants of the outgoing petrol model.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It confirmed that the prototype, named A110 Future, is underpinned by the same Alpine Performance Platform (APP) as the production car.<\/p>\n

However, it appears to wear the previous A110’s bodywork, with wide wheel-arch extensions hinting at the new iteration having a significantly wider track.<\/p>\n

The APP has been developed with weight reduction as a priority, with aluminium construction and 800V electricals. Notably, it features two battery packs, rather than one larger unit as is conventional for high-performance EVs.<\/p>\n

The two batteries are positioned over the front and rear axles, giving a 40:60 weight distribution. That is slightly further rear-biased than the petrol A110, which is split 44:56.<\/p>\n

Alpine CEO Philippe Krief previously said the split-pack design was chosen so the electric A110 could sit as low as its petrol predecessor, while also bringing more than 340 miles of range.<\/p>\n

He added that it had been conceived to complete three laps of the N\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife without the battery derating (losing performance due to heat).<\/p>\n

The positioning of the rear battery approximately where the petrol engine sits in today\u2019s A110 also presents \u201can opportunity\u201d to convert the EV to combustion power if needed, said Krief.<\/p>\n

But he added that this capability has not been\u00a0included at the cost of the car\u2019s potential as an EV:\u00a0\u201cIf the answer would have been that, it would make the electric car worse. There\u2019s no way we\u2019d have done it.\u201d<\/p>\n
