Alpine Believes Driving Has Become Too Serious, Thus It's Developing EV Convertibles | Carscoops

      Future Alpine vehicles will feature the design language introduced with the new A390 crossover.

      Alpine has plans for two electric convertibles derived from the upcoming A310 and A110 models.

      The A310 is set to debut as a fastback GT, which will later be followed by a convertible version.

      These electric vehicles may incorporate the tri-motor configuration seen in the new A390 crossover.

      By 2030, Alpine aims to have seven electric models available, indicating a change for the brand while still catering to those who prefer a more interactive driving experience. Among these will be a convertible based on the new fastback GT platform, known as the A310.

      As we are still some time away from the release of these new models, detailed information is scarce. What is confirmed is that the A310 will first arrive as a four-door fastback, followed by a convertible version.

      Considering the current market trends, it is reasonable to predict that the convertible will feature a two-door layout, as four-door convertibles have nearly disappeared.

      The fastback design is expected to closely align with that of the new Alpine A390. This sleek crossover boasts elegantly flowing bodywork and presents a sporty silhouette on the road. Its bold styling, especially the sharply defined front end, would translate well to a low-profile fastback design.

      It’s likely that the same tri-motor system used in the A390 will be implemented, which includes a single motor at the front axle and two at the rear, providing 396 hp in the GT version and 463 hp in the GT3.

      Concerning Alpine's second new electric convertible, it will be based on the next-generation A110, anticipated to launch next year. In contrast to the current model, this new iteration will feature a futuristic design akin to the A390. The roadster will be offered alongside the standard coupe variant, as reported by Autocar.

      Like the A310, details about the A110's powertrain remain limited. Alpine previously showcased an all-electric version of the existing model, equipped with a 60 kWh battery and a rear-mounted electric motor generating 239 hp and 221 lb-ft (300 Nm) of torque.

      While these specifications are somewhat promising, we can expect the new model to debut with an increased battery capacity and more power.
