Alpine has revealed the all-electric A110 E-Ternité, a preview of what's to come when its electric sports car arrives later this decade.
the A110 E-Ternité is a 240bhp, 221lb ft mid-engined sports car with a target weight of 1320kg and performance on a par with the four-cylinder petrol engined A110s, albeit with a lower range of of around 260 miles .
Currently, Alpine is calling the E-Ternité a prototype, of which it has built two – one for R&D work the other to showcase a range of new materials and design elements – but don’t be surprised if the next round of updates for the retro-coupe include a handful of these changes, including both the electrified powertrain and removable roof panel.
Drive is sent to the rear wheels via a two-speed double clutch gearbox developed in-house by Alpine, allowing the electrified A110 to reach 62mph in a claimed 4.5-seconds and top out at 155mph, which is only 0.1sec behind its ICE-powered relatives.While the double-wishbone suspension front and rear is retained, the rear lower arm has been reinforced and spring rates increased from 47N/mm and 90N/mm at the front and to 50N/mm and 130N/mm at the rear, with a softer rear anti-roll bar fitted.
Currently Alpine refers to the E-Ternité as a prototype to showcase its future direction as an electric vehicle specialist. However, the lengths that have been taken are considerable for a project like the E-Ternité, given the need to develop technology that’s already being used in other vehicles within the group.
