When high-octane adrenaline sports meet green technology, the Alpine Alpenglow Hy4 is born. Inflaming the vision of the future with a breath of innovation, this prototype promises to transform sports cars, where speed meets durability.
Designed for racetrack shooting and road-going elegance, the Alpine Alpenglow Hy4 carries a heritage of high-end sports vehicles. With a carbon fiber body and aerodynamic design, every inch of the car is prepared for optimal performance. Eye-catching magenta accents and aerodynamic new alloy wheels complete the experience, which is described as a “sense of oneness” between driver and vehicle.
The heart of the Alpenglow Hy4 is a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four that produces 340 horsepower (253 kW) with the help of hydrogen. The engine, which can spin up to 7,000 revolutions per minute, draws fuel from three tanks, which together contain 13.8 kg (4.6 kg each) of hydrogen at a pressure of over 689 bar. Although the numbers do not exceed those of the fastest racing cars, it is promising that Alpine is developing its own hydrogen V6 engine, the premiere of which is announced for the end of 2024.
The Alpenglow is not just a show car; it's a step towards a cleaner future. With a combination of power and purity, Alpenglow is designed to place its riders at the center of a technological revolution where the main emissions are nothing but water vapor. Two polymer fuel tanks, shaped like water droplets, are located on the sides of the driver's seat, literally putting the driver at the heart of this innovation.
With the new Alpenglow Hy4, Alpine not only signals its future in racing and road cars, but also reinforces its commitment to sustainability. By exploring innovations that include hydrogen as an alternative fuel, Alpine is not only at the forefront of the automotive industry, but also at the forefront of eco-innovation.
Alpine Alpenglow Hy4 it is more than just a prototype; is a vision where performance, innovation and environmental awareness come together in harmony. With the expected further developments of hydrogen engines, Alpine can truly usher in a new era in sports cars. This car is not only a prospect for speed lovers, but a promise of a better future for all of us. Pricing hasn't been set yet, but given the specs and technology Alpine is promising, we can expect it to be just as impressive as the car itself.
