Alpine A290, future compact B-segment electric sports car
Alpine is tapping into its motor-sports heritage and essence, and venturing into new segments starting with an urban sports car. The show car’s design, materials and technology encapsulate a new angle on electric cars that are just as suited for motor-sports tracks as they are for everyday drives – and as exciting for the driver as they are for passengers.
To boost the show car’s efficiency, Alpine’s development teams fine-tuned its torque vectoring technology – which controls the torque reaching each wheel separately.
This balancing act pushes performance as high as it can possibly go, when driving in a straight line or turning, and the feeling is unforgettable.
The production car will also have a torque management mechanism suited to its design. Another surprise in Alpine’s new B-segment sports car is an all-new multi-link rear axle. It strikes the best possible balance between vigour and comfort, and is a rare privilege for a car in this category.
