So out of 28k of the gen 2 A110, how many made it to the UK? 1500-2000?

I have a sneaky feeling the next one (granted it'll be EV) is going to be rather good...

Maybe they can concentrate on making spare parts now instead. Specifically, the ball joint i have been waiting 6 weeks for!

They have already confirmed it will be fully electric. They have said the platform can accept an ICE in the future though, which let’s be honest, they will need as I can’t see them selling many electric A110s

In a week at Goodwood they'll reveal the development car/testing mule for Gen 3 A110.

Well you say that, but if they get it right as an EV they open up their own market niche.

What other fully electric sports cars are there? yes there are hot hatches (Ioniq5N, A290, etc), and the hot bigger saloons (Taycan Turbo etc), but then the only options are an MG Cyberster roadster or the daft £££ hypercars like Lotus and Rimac.

A decent priced EV coupe that's almost as much fun to fire through a B-road as an A110 is going to clean up.

[Caveat: I'm no EV preacher, I really like them for running around and local duties but am a petrolhead through and through]

Hopefully the Longbow will find its way to market. And the Caterham Project V.
Both lower volume than the Alpine. But if they get it right, there will be real options for people who want an EV driver’s car.

...if it doesn't fall to pieces within a couple of years like the current one.

...such shocking quality control and overall build quality for a £50k car. 'Emperor's new clothes' syndrome in full force within the owners group. I've driven one for several hours and they don't live up to the hype in my opinion - in terms of ride and handling. The piped engine noise into the cabin from the little 4-pot is comical too. I really wanted to love it.

Possibly, but it feels the EV sports car market is small, a niche within a niche. Alpine didn’t have high sales of a petrol version that’s super light, a heavier EV version surely isn’t going to sell more, but I’d love to be proved wrong as I want Alpine to succeed.

According to Alpine's own sales data 1,576 A110's were sold in the UK between 2018 and 2024. Alpine has not published A110 sales by country for 2025 and 2026.

I've been pondering this as well. Porsche called time on the Cayman/Boxster EV, so this (admittedly left) field is wide open. Part of me wants to believe that a good contender would, indeed, clean up. On the other hand, demand for sports cars is already low and an EV sports car would be a harder sell still. Yet, I would be one of those people who could be tempted by one - not to replace, but to supplement the cars I have. But again, if even Porsche already got cold feet to the point of terminating development with a lot of cost already sunk...

I have gathered information on A110 sales figures here:

https://www.pertti.com/en/alpine/02b-alpine-a110.h...

Those numbers are mostly based on Alpine/Renault group press releases from different year's. Alpine press releases can be found on this site:
