By 2030, Alpine plans to have seven electric models on the road, signaling a shift for the brand while still keeping room for drivers who prefer a more engaging experience. Among them will be a convertible built on the platform of the forthcoming fastback GT, currently referred to as the A310.

As we’re still quite some time away from seeing these new models in the market, details are limited. What we do know is that the A310 will initially hit the market as a four-door fastback, followed by a convertible version.

Given today’s market realities, it’s safe to assume the droptop will come as a two-door, since four-door convertibles have all but vanished.

The fastback is expected to closely follow the design of the new Alpine A390. The sleek crossover has beautifully flowing bodywork, cutting an athletic figure on the road. Its aggressive looks, particularly the sharp front-end, would look excellent in a low-slung fastback package.

It’s possible that the same tri-motor system as the A390 could be used, which includes a single motor at the front axle and two at the rear, delivering 396 hp in the GT model and 463 hp in the GT3.

Then there’s Alpine’s second new electric convertible. It will be based on the second-generation A110, expected to arrive next year. Unlike the outgoing model, this new one will also have a futuristic design similar to the A390. The roadster will be sold alongside the standard coupe model, according to Autocar.

As with the A310, little is known about the A110’s powertrain. Alpine presented an all-electric version of the current model, equipped with a 60 kWh battery and a rear-mounted electric motor with 239 hp and 221 lb-ft (300 Nm) of torque.

While those specs are somewhat promising, we’d expect the new model to hit the market with a larger pack and more power.
