Renault will bring the two-seater Alpine Vision, a new model of the revived Alpine brand, to the Geneva Motor Show. This heralds a production model that will roll out of the factory in the brand's birthplace in 2017. The brand with a noble pedigree, which borrowed its name from the mountains, is thus returning to the road after 1995 with a new production model, which is not behind in terms of capabilities Porsche 911 Carrera.
Renault revived the brand Alpine, a brand of sports vehicles that even Porsches used to look down on during rallies. Two-seater sports coupe will be manufactured in the brand's birthplace, in the factory in Dieppe, France, a concept that will be presented at the Geneva Motor Show, has 80 percent of the design "genes" of the future production model. They decorate it low silhouette, a rounded hood with round headlights and Kim Kardashian-like accentuated hips (read: accentuated rear fender), paying homage to past models, especially the famous A110 Berlinette Coupe.
The interior is a cocktail of leather, microfiber fabrics, carbon fiber, aluminum and lighting "effects" (illuminated door openers, blue illuminated main switches, etc.). It is a real game of contrasts tablet multimedia device with the stopwatch in the center of the dashboard in a central role. The driver will have a view of the instrument panel with a flexible screen TFT (Thin Film Transistor), steering wheel with three spokes and two shift paddles, and the pedals and foot rest have a forged pattern with alpine peaks.
