An Alpine overview
Alpine, known officially as Société des Automobiles Alpine SAS, is a French automobile manufacturer founded in 1955 by Jean Rédélé. Initially celebrated for its small, lightweight sports cars, Alpine quickly built a reputation for its racing success, particularly in rallying. Acquired by Renault in 1973, Alpine continues to operate as a subsidiary, focusing on producing high-performance sports cars.
A little history lesson
Alpine's early success was significantly driven by the A110 model – introduced in the 1960s, the A110 dominated the rallying scene, establishing the brand's reputation for agility and performance. Celebrated for their lightweight construction, superior handling, and innovative engineering, Alpine cars have always stood out. Newly revived in 2017, the brand launched the new A110 in 2021: a modern take on a classic model that merges retro styling with contemporary technology.
What makes an Alpine special?
- Exceptional handling – Alpine vehicles are engineered with a focus on lightweight construction, using materials such as aluminium and carbon fibre to reduce weight without compromising strength. This results in an impressive power-to-weight ratio, enhancing performance and handling. A balanced chassis and precise steering provide an exhilarating motoring experience, making Alpine cars ideal for anyone who values driving dynamics and responsiveness.
- Performance and efficiency – Alpine's engineering excellence ensures outstanding performance. The A110, for instance, features a turbocharged 1.8-litre engine producing around 247 bhp in the “PURE” and 300 bhp in the GT,S and R, enabling acceleration from 0-62 mph in approximately 4.8 seconds in the “PURE”, 4.2 seconds in the GT and S and 3.8 seconds in the R. Despite their high performance, Alpine cars are designed to be efficient. Their lightweight design not only improves acceleration and handling but also contributes to better fuel economy compared to heavier sports cars.
- Singular design and heritage – Each Alpine vehicle boasts a distinctive design that pays homage to the brand’s rich heritage. Sleek, aerodynamic lines and retro-modern aesthetics appeal to both classic car aficionados and modern sports car enthusiasts. The brand's storied motorsport history adds an element of prestige and authenticity. Owning an Alpine is not just about the car itself but also about being part of a legacy that prizes innovation and performance.
- Exclusivity and craftsmanship – Alpine produces vehicles in limited quantities, ensuring exclusivity and a bespoke ownership experience. Each car is meticulously crafted, with attention to detail that reflects the brand’s commitment to quality. The interior of an Alpine car combines luxury with functionality, featuring high-quality materials and advanced technology that enhance both comfort and driving pleasure.
