You need a beautiful setting to showcase a beautiful jewel, and what could be better than the enclosure of the 24 Hours of Le Mans for an Alpine.
On June 13th, opening the world’s largest endurance race, Alpine will unveil its A290. This five-door sporty hatchback marks a historic turning point in the brand’s history with the A-shaped logo, as it is its first 100% electric vehicle.
The choice of the name A290 aligns with Alpine’s overall naming strategy, with names starting with the letter “A” followed by three digits. The digit “2” corresponds to the B segment, and the number “90” refers to the brand’s upcoming “lifestyle” range. As decarbonized mobility becomes crucial in the automotive sector, the Alpine A290 aims to embody a strong and committed ambition for the brand, promoting sustainable sportiness.
A Renault 5 on steroids
It may no longer be necessary to remind you, but for those who have been disconnected from automotive news for the past two years, the Alpine A290 builds on the technical base of the new electric Renault 5. A nod to the shared history of Renault and Alpine, which led to the creation of the Renault 5 Alpine in 1976. The final version of the small bomb was recently seen during tests in extreme conditions near the Arctic circle. It was displayed for the first time in its definitive bodywork, though camouflaged. This confirms the dimensions of the small French car: 3,990 mm in length, 1,820 mm in width, 1,520 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,530 mm.
