Alpine Celebrates 70 Years of Automotive Heritage

Share


Alpine, the French sports car marque with a passion for agility and style, is celebrating its 70th anniversary with a visually bold short film. More than a nostalgic look back, it’s a three-minute cinematic statement about where the brand has come from – and where it’s going.

Set to launch in France on 6 June 2025, the film revisits Alpine’s milestones with flair and feeling. It captures the brand’s ongoing love affair with lightness, emotion, and performance.

Lightness as a Legacy

Jean Rédélé, Alpine’s founder, built his first lightweight racers in the early 1950s. He believed less weight meant more fun – and more success on the track.

The film traces that ethos through:

  • The modified Renault 4CVs in Rédélé’s original garage
  • Alpine’s debut in motorsport, including the Mille Miglia and Monte Carlo Rally
  • Its iconic A110 models tearing up tarmac and winning hearts
  • The brand’s revival in 2017
  • A breakthrough Formula 1 win in Hungary, 2021

It’s a story built on precision, passion, and performance – without ever being overdone.

Future-Ready: Alpine’s Electric Dream Garage

The Alpine story isn’t finished. In fact, it’s only getting started. The film gives a sneak peek at what’s next:

  • A290: A pure electric hot hatch designed for nimble handling and real driving pleasure
  • A390: Alpine’s first electric fastback, due in 2025 – elegant, agile, and unmistakably Alpine

These models are part of the brand’s “Dream Garage” – a fresh vision blending style, sustainability, and spirit.

A Film with Style and Substance

Directed by Antoine Bardou-Jacquet and produced by BETC and Partizan, the short film is far from a typical brand ad. It fuses real-life footage with comic book-style animation, nodding to Alpine’s racing heritage and the visual language of motoring culture.

Backed by an original score from Start Rec, the film feels both vintage and modern – just like Alpine itself.
