Four-seat GT is the EV we've been waiting for - the A390_β will show us what it's going to look like...If you ever feel despondent about what the future of battery-electric motoring looks like, it’s always good to reflect on how Alpine sees the revolution working. Its first EV, after all, was a. And while it is absolutely planning SUVs, it also has this in the pipeline: a four-seat sport fastback very much inspired by the Alpine A310.
Aside from confirming its ‘beta’ identity - meaning it's a show car rather than a production reality - and the date of its online unveiling Alpine is inevitably remaining tight-lipped at this stage. The teaser pic reveals exactly the sort of swept-back profile we’ve been expecting, albeit one that’s clearly been designed to accommodate passengers in the back - a practical advantage that Alpine identified as crucial in the wake of the two-seat A110’s limited sales.
As it did with the A290, the A390_β name aligns with the manufacturer’s chosen terminology: 3 refers to its larger size, while 90 reflects the idea that this is a ‘everyday use’ model. Nevertheless, we know it will be underpinned by the Alpine Performance Platform, the same modular architecture that it will eventually use to replace the A110.
Following its world debut at Paris as a lightly embellished concept, the customer version will likely appear in short order as Alpine expects to kick off production in Dieppe next year. In other words, it’s all shaping up very nicely. And the firm hasn’t forgotten about its current sports car just yet either: alongside the A390_β and the latest version of its hydrogen-powered Alpenglow Hy6 prototype, it will also show some ‘new examples of A110 customisations’.
