Brand's electric cars will be heavier than 1100kg A110, requiring software trickery to make them handle as well
Alpine will use innovative power management software in its electric cars to ensure that a feeling of "perceived lightness" counteracts the added bulk of an EV powertrain and enables true sports car handling. The firm's sole current model, the 1100kg A110, is one of the lightest cars in series production - a key component in its acclaimed dynamic agility.
"When you have professional drivers testing your cars and they tested with the systems on because they wanted it that way, you understand that it's good. This is the ultimate test." Even so, Alpine is still "working on the absolute weight of the car", he said, and it is expected to be lighter than the equivalent Renault and Nissan models.
