Upcoming GTS to replace GT model?

[JollyMonk]

I've heard through the grapevine that no more GT models will be built after March 2025 or so.

It'll be replaced with a GTS runout model, which will be the S suspension + comfort seats. Plus maybe new colors.

GTS deliveries will only start Q3, so there'll be a gap of several months.

Anyone else hear this?

I can see how some people could want a GTS, if they like the focused drive of the S but prefer the GT seats.

I think more of the people who go for GT seats would also prefer the more compliant ride, however I suppose the comfort pack will be still be available.

Yes, GT now finishing according to Alpine GB it's discontinued.

I believe there will be another model, factory is not accepting tours as they are retooling i was told.

I hope there is a 325bhp, sports, not the carbon wheeled one.

That's interesting to hear. I can imagine Alpine may want to rationalize their end production run and limit model variety - would make sense. But I very much doubt they'd offer a 325 HP version of a GTS for two reasons. Firstly, it'd cost too much to set-up a main model offering with the 6 speed DCT as they do for the R Ultimate in order to overcome the 7 speed DCT torque limitations. Secondly, they'd upset a lot of R owners who were re-assured they'd be buying the most extreme variant - which retains the 300 hp and 340 NM engine tune.

I guess they may do a run-out model but don't expect anything too radical as the info I've seen around says that the ICE engined A110 will be replaced with an EV in 2026.

No way they will spend a load of money to tool up for a new model ICE as a run-out. If production of the EV version is 2026 they would be getting the factory uptown speed in 2025, including building the EV version on the production line, this is more likely why there are no tours planned.

When we were at the factory 8n November they said that ours was one of the last tours as they are tooling up ready for the A390_B.
