Alpine has unveiled the A310 Vision concept car at the 2026 Paris motor show, celebrating the original model's 55th birthday.

Alpine unveiled the A310 Vision concept at the 2026 Paris motor show this week, marking the original car's 55th birthday. The Vision combines styling elements from the 1971 A310 with cues from later V6 and GT models, including pumped-up wheel arches, a rear wing, and sharper bodywork. Unlike the original four-seater, the concept has just two seats.

The A310 Vision is based on Alpine's Performance Platform (APP), described as an EV-first architecture with two battery packs: one under the bonnet and a main unit behind the cabin. This dual-pack layout allows for a lower seating position and more spacious cabin, though it adds complexity. Alpine's CEO Philippe Krief told Autocar that the platform can be modified to accommodate a petrol engine, gearbox and fuel tank, with the internal combustion drivetrain essentially replacing the main battery unit.

Alpine officially describes the A310 Vision as a 'creative exploration of Alpine's heritage rather than the announcement of a future production model'. However, Autocar reports the concept was given the model code PS1 (Projet Spécial 1), indicating it could potentially form the basis for a limited-run model. The upcoming all-electric A110 will also be based on APP, with its styling being previewed by a sculpture on display at the Paris show.
