Alpine, the French marque born from motorsport, has long been synonymous with lightweight, agile performance.
Founded in 1955 by Jean Rédélé, Alpine made its name with rally-bred machines like the A110, which famously won the inaugural World Rally Championship in 1973.
After a hiatus, Alpine was revived by Renault in the 2010s, bringing back the A110 as a modern lightweight sports car. Now, Alpine enters the electric era with the A290 GTS, a reinterpretation of the hot hatch blueprint.
