Design Collaboration Between Alpine Cars & IED

France-based, Renault-owned Alpine, which is a distinguished race and sports car maker, and Turin, Italy based Instituto Europeo di Design (IED) have designed a hydrogen powered supercar. The first sketches of it have just been unveiled and the vehicle will debut on March 18, 2022. It is called the Alpine A4810 and represents a vision for the future of the French car brand.  The design is a very sporty, 2 seat vehicle with a hydrogen powertrain.  28 graduate students from one of the top transportation design schools in the world and Alpine's design studio created the design.  They say the hydrogen car "represents the extreme sportiness of the future" that's more technological and sustainable.

Very Sleek, Low, Wide & Powerful Design

The Alpine A4810 is a look at the future of zero emissions, hydrogen powered driving.  The design carries on Alpine's racing car tradition of vehicles that are sleek, aerodynamic, rounded, low and wide to the ground.  There are no tech details yet on the hydrogen powertrain's performance. The new concept replaces Alpine's quad headlights with a multifaceted, hexagonal shape. There is a new LED lighting system that spans the front of the vehicle. And the rear lights appear to extend from the vehicle's body.  And last but not least, the Alpine logo on the front of the vehicle glows in the dark.

Will This New Concept Go Into Production?

We don't know Renault and Alpine's intentions about putting this promising new design into full production.  But, there are reports that the hydrogen powertrain was built by Renault. And Renault is clearly interested in launching hydrogen powered vehicles. It intends to introduce a new vehicle concept powered by hydrogen in May.  We also know that both Renault and Alpine are going big into electric vehicles. For instance, Renault offers the Kangoo electric SUV and Zoe electric mini.  As for Alpine, it has three EVs coming out by 2026, including the Alpine A5 electric hatchback that's based on Renault's 5 supermini.  Alpine is also working on the Alpine GT X-Over grand tourer and an electric successor to the Alpine A110 sportscar.  Stay tuned for much more information during the March 18 online unveiling of this exciting new hydrogen car design.
