If you’re a film buff, you might have attended a secret screening before, where the cinema shows a film ahead of its official release date – but you don’t know what it will be. In a similar sort of way, car enthusiasts have been treated to a ‘secret screening’ of the next-generation electric Alpine A110, in the form of both a prototype run at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and a sculpture that will make its debut at the Paris motor show in October.

Indeed, Alpine's historic sports car is going all-electric for its third generation, and this new sculpture gives us a first glimpse at what it will look like when it arrives next year.

While it has been designed to look like the model is cloaked in a veil, the sculpture reveals some key design aspects, such as the A110's traditional V-shaped front end and sleek, aerodynamic shape. Unlike the current car, though, it looks like the next-generation version will feature more sculpted lines on the sides of its body and new geometric headlights.

We already know that the next-gen A110 will be powered by brand new bespoke technology. Dubbed the Alpine Performance Platform (APP), the A110 EV’s underpinnings use the same technology as the 533bhp Renault 5 Turbo 3E – and unlike the A290 and A390 as a result.

The APP has been developed to prioritise weight reduction, and interestingly it uses two battery packs – one at the front, one at the rear for a 40:60 weight distribution – instead of one unit as is traditional in other electric cars. This will allow it to sit lower to the ground.

The new A110 EV will be powered by two electric motors mounted at the rear. Alpine told our sister title Autocar that it should achieve more than 340 miles of range and have a kerb weight similar to that of its combustion-powered rivals, at around 1500kg. For reference, the ICE A110 was especially light and nimble, at 1100kg.

The sculpture will make its debut at the Paris motor show next month, but we'll have to wait a little longer to see what the production car looks like in full. The all-electric A110 is due to arrive in 2027.
