Alpine Ends Production of Combustion-Engine A110; Next Generation Will Be Electric
The last internal combustion Alpine A110 has rolled off the line in Dieppe, France, marking an era's end. The next-generation model will be fully electric.
The final second-generation Alpine A110 has left the assembly line in Dieppe, France, closing a significant chapter in the history of Renault's sports car brand. This last car is a special "R 70" edition, painted in the iconic Alpine blue with a black roof, giving it a contrasting and sporty appearance.
Symbolically, it marks the end of an era for a model that served as the cornerstone of the brand's revival. Since 1969, the Dieppe plant has produced approximately 35,450 sports cars, with the vast majority—28,701 units—belonging to the modern A110 generation that brought Alpine back to the market in 2017 after a long hiatus.
This return solidified the brand's position in the lightweight, rear-wheel-drive sports car segment, where the A110 stood out for its low weight and precise handling, not just raw power. Now, the manufacturer is moving to the next phase: the next-generation A110 will be fully electric. This marks a broader shift in Alpine's strategy toward electrification, preserving the sporty character while adapting to future emissions and technology requirements.
