ALPINE ALPENGLOW CONCEPT CAR - FIRST LOOK

There is no official Alpine Alpenglow price, because the Alpenglow is a hydrogen-powered concept car, not a production model on sale. Unveiled by Alpine at the Paris Motor Show, it is a single-seat design study built to preview the brand's future styling and its hydrogen combustion technology, so it carries no list price and is not available to buy.

Is there an Alpine Alpenglow price?

Because the Alpenglow is a concept and rolling laboratory rather than a showroom car, Alpine has not announced a price or an on-sale date. Its value lies in the technology it showcases: the styling, aerodynamics and hydrogen powertrain that will inspire the brand's next generation of vehicles. In terms of design and technology, it represents Alpine's rebirth across both competition and production versions, and all next Alpine vehicles will draw inspiration from this innovative concept car.

What is the Alpine Alpenglow?

By revealing the Alpenglow, Alpine signalled it may be developing a hypercar. The name itself refers to alpenglow, the reddish glow of the sun as it emerges over the mountains shortly before daybreak. According to Alpine, this marks the start of a new era for the business. The single-seat design has an aerodynamic style with creased edges reminiscent of a Le Mans endurance racer. According to Alpine, the Alpenglow is conceived as a manifesto for the brand's hydrogen ambitions.

How does the Alpenglow hydrogen powertrain work?

The car's name is recalled by the red lighting at the front, while the blue lighting at the rear hints at the drivetrain: a hydrogen-powered internal combustion engine fed by two high-pressure tanks. Rather than a fuel cell, the Alpenglow burns hydrogen in a combustion engine, producing near-zero emissions while keeping the character of a traditional performance car. As Top Gear explains, later running versions of the Alpenglow paired this hydrogen combustion approach with a powerful V6, pushing it firmly into hypercar territory.
