We are excited to announce that we have welcomed Alpine to our impressive line-up! Not only are they a brand that will bring an exciting new chapter of French performance and distinctive design, but also electrified driving to our customers.
With a reputation built on lightweight sports cars, motorsport success and an unmistakable passion for driving, Alpine is a brand with plenty of appeal. Now, as it expands its range with new electric models, there is more opportunity than ever for drivers to discover what makes the marque so special.
Who is Alpine?
Alpine was founded in 1955 by Jean Rédélé, a French racing driver and motorsport enthusiast with a passion for creating cars that delivered an exceptional driving experience. The brand takes its name from the Alpine roads where Rédélé enjoyed competing, helping to establish a philosophy centred around agility, lightness and performance.
While the brand has a proud history, it is certainly not stuck in the past. Alpine is developing a new generation of cars that combine its sporting character with modern electric technology.
The result is a range designed to appeal to drivers who want something beyond the ordinary.
A new Alpine era
The arrival of Alpine at Stoneacre comes at an exciting time for the brand.
Alpine’s modern line-up brings together the all-electric A290 hot hatch and the A390 five-seat sport fastback. Together, these models demonstrate how the brand is evolving while maintainingf the qualities that have made Alpine so distinctive.
The A290 is particularly important. It introduces Alpine’s approach to electric performance in a compact, everyday-friendly package, combining sporty looks and agile handling with the convenience of electric driving. Alpine describes it as the entry point to its 100% electric ‘Dream Garage’.
Then there is the A390, Alpine’s first five-seat sport fastback. It brings a more practical dimension to the range without moving away from the brand’s focus on performance and driver enjoyment. With five seats and a striking fastback silhouette, it offers an interesting alternative for customers who want practicality with a sporting edge.
Alpine and motorsport
Motorsport is an important part of the Alpine story.
From starting out in competition to its involvement in Formula 1 and the World Endurance Championship, racing has helped shape the brand’s approach to performance and engineering. Alpine continues to compete at the highest levels of motorsport, while also supporting customer racing programmes across disciplines including rallying and GT4 racing.
That heritage can be felt in the road cars. Alpine’s focus is not simply on outright power. Instead, the brand places a strong emphasis on dexterity, balance and the relationship between car and driver.
It is this character that helps set Alpine apart.
