Alpine

Alpine, a name synonymous with French flair and motorsport pedigree, carved its niche in the automotive world through lightweight, agile sports cars. Founded by Jean Rédélé in 1955, the brand's ethos centered on performance, drawing inspiration from his racing successes. Early Alpines, like the A110, utilized Renault components, creating accessible yet thrilling driving experiences.

Their success on the rally circuit, particularly in the 1960s and 70s, cemented their reputation. The iconic A110, with its distinctive fiberglass body, became a symbol of Alpine's dedication to handling and driver engagement. While the brand faced financial challenges and ownership changes, including a period under Renault, its legacy remains. Alpine's commitment to lightweight construction and spirited performance continues to resonate with enthusiasts.
