In a statement issued today, Alpine said: "Lotus and Alpine have been collaborating on a future EV sports car vision for more than two years, during which time a strong relationship between the two companies has developed. As with any collaboration following an MoU, the outcome was not guaranteed. We have decided not to progress with the joint development of a sports car for Alpine. This is a mutual decision reached amicably, and we will continue to discuss other future opportunities."
The next A110 will be lighter than a comparable car with a combustion engine but with no compromise in performance.
Groupe Renault is teaming up with Groupe Lotus to design an all-electric successor to the mid-engine Alpine A110. The car will likely retain some of the same unique design language that the A110 has possessed since 1963. When the new all-electric replacement for the A110 will hit the roads is still unknown as no timeline has been announced. That being said, Lotus has stated that it will enter production by the year 2025.
