Alpine was founded by Jean Redele, a Renault dealer in Dieppe who started tuning and racing small Renaults in the early 1950s and built his first Alpine in 1955. The A110 Berlinette of the 1960s, a tiny, rear-engined fiberglass coupe, became one of the great rally cars, winning the first World Rally Championship for manufacturers in 1973. Renault took control of Alpine that year, and the brand went on to win Le Mans with Renault in 1978 before fading away in the mid-1990s.
Renault revived Alpine in 2017 with a new A110, a mid-engined two-seater built in Dieppe that put lightness above everything. Critics adored it for its agility and its feel, often preferring it to more powerful rivals from Porsche, and it became a cult favorite among enthusiasts. Alpine also took over Renault's Formula 1 team and has competed at Le Mans in the Hypercar class. Under the Renault group's plan, the brand is now going electric, starting with the A290, a hot hatch based on the Renault 5, and the A390, an electric sport crossover.
A next-generation A110 is planned as an electric car, though Alpine has said it is not ruling out combustion power. Alpine's volumes remain small, and Renault's leadership has publicly shrugged off slow early sales of the A390. Rivals include the Porsche 718 Cayman, BMW M2, Lotus Emira and Toyota GR86, and in the electric space the Mini John Cooper Works, Abarth 600e and Polestar 4. Coverage collects reviews, special editions, racing news, executive interviews and the brand's future plans.
