Alpine has revealed a new concept car at the Paris Motor Show, hinting at the potential for more models based on its all-electric Alpine Performance Platform (APP).
The Alpine A310 Vision is described as a one-off concept intended as an “creative exploration” of the brand’s heritage rather than the announcement of a future production model. However, it has also prompted speculation that the French performance marque could be planning a larger sports car sibling to its upcoming A110 EV.
The Alpine A310 Vision draws its inspiration from the original Alpine A310, which was revealed 55 years ago as a larger 2+2 coupe to sit above the existing A110.
Like the original, its design is far sharper and more aggressive than the original “Berlinette” and its modern successor.
Alpine’s designer worked around an original A310 in their studio for what they call a “contemporary interpretation of a very seventies design”. The concept exaggerates the sharp lines of the original with angular features and a super low and wide stance. “Pop-down” headlights are hidden in the pointed bonnet line until illuminated and a dramatic “Y Zero” blade runs the length of the bonnet.
Large “A-shaped” wheels sit beneath protruding wheel arches while a semi-transparent bubble roof flows back into a dramatic rear end with a prominent high-level spoiler, full-width LED lighting and a massive diffuser.
Alpine says the interior’s bold colours and physical components inspired by hi-fi systems provide another link between old and new design.
At 4.55m long, 1.18m tall and 2.03m wide, the A310 would sit neatly above the future A110 EV and below the A390 sports SUV in the Alpine “Dream Garage”.
Alpine insists that the A310 concept is an experiment but also points to the “potential” it showcases for the APP platform. That new 800V modular system will form the basis of the new A110, which is also being unveiled in Paris and promises in excess of 500bhp from a two-motor rear-wheel-drive setup.
