Alpine A110 petrol sports car production ends in 2026

The last petrol-powered Alpine A110 will roll off the Dieppe production line in early July 2026, after approximately 30,000 units built. Debuted at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, the rear mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive two-seater revived the Alpine brand, which traces back to 1950s garage owner Jean Rédélé. The original A110 nameplate was produced from 1963 to 1977, designed by Giovanni Michelotti. Owned by Renault since 1973, Alpine was mothballed in 1995 but revived with concept cars in the early 2010s. The modern A110, designed by Anthony Villain, references the original's form. Final lineup includes A110, GTS, and R70 models. The A110 GTS, with 300hp and weight under 1140kg, was driven from London to Le Mans. The car garnered attention from fans and police alike. Luggage space is limited, and interior lacks modern USB-C ports. An all-electric A110 is due in 2027. Alpine's A424 Hypercar competed at Le Mans in June, finishing sixth and tenth. Alpine also announced a Formula 1 sponsorship with Gucci from 2027, forming 'Gucci Racing Alpine Formula One Team'.
