French sportscar maker Alpine, part of the Renault Group, known for its niche rally cars,<\/a> and more recently, the modern-day A110 and Formula 1 team, is now preparing to take the leap into the world of supercars. At an event unveiling the brand\u2019s A390 crossover earlier this week, Renault Group CEO Luca de Meo confirmed Alpine\u2019s upcoming flagship: A 1,000 horsepower hybrid performance supercar, set for a 2028 launch.<\/p>\n

The plan is for a turbocharged V6 driving the rear wheels paired with two electric motors on the front axle, one for each wheel. With a projected 1,000 horsepower, Alpine\u2019s yet to be named upcoming flagship, will take on the likes of the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and the Lamborghini Revuelto.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, given that a turbo V6 will power the Alpine \u2018s 2028 supercar and the brand\u2019s F1 connection, it also seems to align with the Mercedes-AMG One,<\/a> which packs a 1.6-liter turbo V6 and four <\/em>electric motors for a total system output of 1,063 horsepower. No details on the exact displacement of the Alpine\u2019s V6, so we can\u2019t confirm this just yet. But something that the two cars do<\/em> share is motorsport-bred pedigree.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis car has three objectives,\u201d Alpine boss Philippe Krief told TopGear.<\/em><\/a> \u201cOne is to bring Alpine up. You need this kind of car as it holds up all the rest of the range. Second, it\u2019s a laboratory of innovation, for the supercar, then for Alpine, and then for the whole Group. Third, it will make a good business.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hypertech, a new Renault Performance division spun off from the French marque\u2019s World Endurance Championship program and the engineering talent behind Alpine\u2019s racing machines, will develop the upcoming supercar. It will feature a lightweight body made from carbon fiber and aluminium. <\/p>\n

As for the design, it unfortunately won\u2019t look anything like the stunning 6-cylinder hydrogen-powered AlpenGlow concept<\/a> seen here. \u201cThis is a road car, very different,\u201d Krief said. The Le Mans-inspired design was never meant for urban duty. The upcoming supercar will be purpose-built for the street. Having said that, head-turning design will be essential to break into a segment already dominated by established players. So hopefully, the production car draws some<\/em> cues from the Alpenglow concept.<\/p>\n

Krief, of course, is no stranger to the world of low-volume performance cars as he has led the development of models like the Ferrari 458 and the Ferrari SF-90 Stradale. He also played a pivotal role in the engineering of the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio SUV. For Alpine, meanwhile, whose lineup is currently anchored by the ageing but brilliant A110 sports car, this will mark a major shift. The brand has plans to launch five all-electric models before 2030, and a larger vehicle, designed specifically for the U.S. market.<\/p>\n

Could the new supercar carry a heritage nameplate like the A310 from the early 1970s? We don\u2019t know yet. The closest production Alpine exotic we\u2019ve seen in recent times is the Alpine AGTZ Twin-tail from Zagato.<\/a> The upcoming French supercar will join the legacy of other low-slung mid-engined exotics like the Peugeot Oxia, the Citr\u00f6en GT, and a long line of Bugattis, now under Bugatti-Rimac. Watch this space.<\/p>\n
