The Alpine A110’s story is entering its final chapter. The lightweight French sports car that charmed enthusiasts with its purity of purpose and retro-modern flair is about to bow out before its electric successor arrives next year.

“Collectors take note,” Alpine says — and rightly so. The Dieppe-based manufacturer has confirmed it will produce just 1,750 more standard A110s and 50 examples of the track-honed A110 R before the curtain falls for good. Production will wind down by mid-2026, as the factory prepares to retool for the next-generation, fully electric A110 built on the new Alpine Performance Platform.

For now, the order books remain open in the UK, though Alpine expects to close them in roughly six months. Given the brand’s steady sales pace, that likely translates to about 200 more cars for British buyers before the allocation runs dry.

Since its rebirth in 2017, the A110 has quietly defied expectations — and market trends. While many sports cars have seen demand soften amid electrification and SUV obsession, Alpine claims its mid-engined coupe’s sales curve has climbed throughout its life cycle, with nearly 30,000 units sold globally by the time production ends next year.

That’s a testament to what the A110 has always been: a modern reminder that less can indeed be more. With its curb weight under 2,500 pounds, sharp steering, and perfectly judged balance, the A110 has long stood as a counterpoint to heavier, more powerful rivals from Porsche and beyond.

Pricing remains as it has been in the UK lineup: the base 242-hp A110 starts at around £55,000, the 296-hp GTS stretches to £70,000, and the ultra-focused A110 R – essentially a road-legal racer – asks a steep £107,000.

After that, it’s lights out for the petrol-powered A110. The next generation will be electric, faster, and likely heavier — but if Alpine has proven anything, it’s that passion and precision engineering can transcend the power source.

So if you’ve ever dreamed of owning one of the last truly analog European sports cars, this is your final boarding call. Once Dieppe switches to electrons, there’s no going back.
