“I want to electrify Alpine to preserve its name for all eternity”.
The arrival of Luca de Meo and the announcement of a 100% electric range at Alpine gave a clear direction for the work of the teams and an opportunity to work on electrics in an exploratory way. In the "restomod" spirit, the A110 has become the ideal platform for this research work, a bridge between a prestigious past and an even more ambitious future.
An Impossible Challenge?
This sentence coined by Luca de Meo. Challenge accepted for Laurent Rossi, Alpine CEO, and the brand's engineers. In less than a year, a team of commandos turned this crazy idea into a reality and, to top it all off, even grasped the opportunity to remove the roof.
Thus, the target is clear: to electrify the next Alpine vehicles, and why not starting by the A110, a paragon of sportiness known for its light weight and agility, within a realistic budget.
"An unsolvable contradiction" for some, "a challenge worthy of Alpine" for the passionate teams of the brand.
Technology and Innovation
The mandate was simple: electrify the A110 and match the performance, balance and agility of the Alpine A110 combustion engine car while capitalizing on the Group's strengths, experience and technologies.
To spice up this challenge a little more, Alpine is going to add four innovations to the mandate:
Øan innovative multimedia system using the driver's personal tablet for an intuitive and natural connectivity experience, based on Apple or Android, allowing all the user's applications to be centralised on a single device
Øa state-of-the-art audio system with 8 speakers to recreate surround sound.
Øinnovative materials to combine performance and sustainability
Øa "top-off" solution that allows you to enjoy the quietness of the electric technology: a dream to drive an electric Alpine A110 in the open, without a sound.
