- Third episode in new video series celebrating Alpine’s 70th anniversary released
- Series explores the history and foundations of Alpine
- Latest episode explores the transfer of racing DNA to road cars
Following the first two episodes dedicated to history and design, the latest episode of the ‘Alpine 70 Years’ series focuses on the theme of innovation and engineering.
Through the testimonies of four experts, this third instalment takes us behind the scenes at the brand’s various engineering sites.
“The role of the Alpine Cars engineering team is to develop Alpine’s road cars and the innovative technologies that will guarantee their performance.”
Robert Bonetto (VP, Alpine Engineering Project)
Sovany Ang (VP Product Performance Alpine), Robert Bonetto (VP, Alpine Engineering Project), François Champod (Vehicles Director, Alpine Racing) et Olivier Guintrand (VP Engineering, Alpine cars) each shed light on the cult of innovation that has always guided the brand, from Jean Rédélé to the present day. This approach makes perfect sense at a time when Alpine is rising to the challenge of reconciling electrification and driving pleasure.
“At Alpine, we support our engineering and design teams in this relationship with customer expectations. The world is changing, customers are evolving, and new expectations are emerging.”
Sovany Ang (VP Product Performance Alpine)
Our experts provide insights into the synergy that exists at Alpine between motorsport and road cars. Already present when the brand was founded by Jean Rédélé, this symbiosis is now taking on a new dimension with the development of the Alpine Hypertech entity, which puts racing know-how directly at the service of innovation within Renault Group.
“With Alpine Racing Hyper Tech, we’re creating a high-tech structure, a real showcase for Renault Group and Alpine engineering”
