Zero-emission supercar created in cooperation with students in Europe, could point towards future brand's styling
Alpine has teamed up with students at the European Institute of Design (IED) to create a wild new concept for a hydrogen-fuelled supercar that will be unwrapped on March 18.
Named the A4810, the French sports car-maker had announced that it will officially unwrap the new concept in Turin, Italy, with the supercar set to be part of the students involved thesis.
Receiving full backing from the Alpine’s design team, the two-seater is said to have been created to be “an answer to the new concept of sportiness”.
Others are suggesting the latest concept could provide clues on how the Renault-owned brand will evolve its design from the current A110 to its future SUVs and sports cars that are in the pipeline.
The shadowy preview, shows off the front end’s quad-headlamps, illuminated badge and dominate W-shaped LED light bar.
Looking heavily inspired by a Le Mans prototype racer, the large front splitter, wide arches, dorsal fin and front air intake suggests the concept could be for either a race car or a supercar.
Beneath the skin, it’s not known if the Alpine-IED concept uses a hydrogen fuel-cell or burns the zero-emission fuel using a highly modified combustion engines like the recent Toyota-Lexus tech.,
Alpine has already announced that it will switch to an all-electric car-maker by 2026. On the way is an Alpine derivative of the incoming Renault 5 that will be named the A5 and the Alpine GT X-One, plus a zero-emission follow-up to the Alpine A110 sports car.
