Founded in 1955 by Jean Rédélé in Dieppe, France, Alpine began as a sports car specialist renowned for lightweight design. The iconic A110 Berlinette, launched in 1961, dominated rallying with over 1,200 stage wins and a Manufacturers’ Championship in 1973. Other notable models include the A310 and GTA. After a hiatus in 1995, Alpine was revived by Renault in 2017 with a modern A110 tribute, blending classic aesthetics with turbocharged performance. Today, Alpine operates as Renault’s premium sports brand, targeting niche enthusiasts in Europe, North America, and Japan with limited-production sports cars. Alpine’s rally heritage and focus on agility underpin its exclusive market position.
