Alpine has confirmed it is teeing up an electric replacement for its A110 sports car, along with revealing details of a halo V6-powered supercar. The new A110, which is slated for reveal in full production form at the Paris Motor Show in 2026, will sit on a new platform called APP (Alpine Performance Platform). Engineers are targeting a weight of 1,450kg – around 350kg heavier than the base-spec version of the current car, but some 400kg lighter than MG’s Cyberster two-seater EV roadster.

Skoda has brought back its Favorit hatchback and 'reimagined' it as an EV for the 2020s, but the bad news is that you won't be able to buy it. The Favorit was a well-known five-door hatchback built between 1987 and 1994. It marked a changing point for the Czech brand as before it the carmaker was famous for building awkwardly shaped rear-engined models. It was a hugely popular car across Europe, and was the last Skoda to be developed before the manufacturer was acquired by Volkswagen.

Alpine has expanded its range to three models with the launch of its new A390 electric coupe-SUV. The A390 gets its name from ‘A’ for Alpine and ‘3’ for C-segment, with ’90’ denoting the car is one of the brand’s more everyday models. It’s also being positioned as a ‘sports fastback’ in the carmaker’s line-up. The newcomer takes a few design cues from the A110 sports car, such as its sloping roofline and short overhangs.

What is it? Think small cars and the oh-so-cute Smart ForTwo readily comes to mind. The thing is, though, the brand (which is now owned 50:50 by Mercedes-Benz and Chinese powerhouse Geely) hasn’t produced that car for a number of years. These days, Smart regards itself as more of a premium brand that solely builds electric cars, moving away from the ForTwo and concentrating instead on larger models.
