Hydrogen Powered, Very Sporty Car

Alpine is a Renault-owned Road car and race car brand that prides itself on being at the forefront of automotive innovation.  And, true to form, its Alpenglow luxury sedan/sportscar concept was one of the brightest stars at the recent Paris Auto Show.  According to the company, this concept vehicle sets the tone going forward on design, technology and innovation for Alpine's motorsport and road cars. Aside from the beauty of the car's design, the most fascinating aspect about Alpenglow are the two hydrogen fuel tanks that serve as the luxury vehicle's power source.  The internal combustion hydrogen motor emits only water vapor.  Two polymer pontoon fuel tanks filled with hydrogen are located on either side of the cockpit.  It offers 100% zero-emissions driving.  

Design Signature and Future

France-based Alpine is the dedicated brand for innovative and exclusive sports cars for Renault.  Alpine's "dream garage" of upcoming cars are "100% electric, sporty, exclusive, futuristic models for real life".  The design inspiration for the Alpenglow is clearly a Le Mans-type race car.  The vehicle is all about aerodynamics with sculptured curves built into the vehicle for speed. And it is fairly big at 16 feet long and 6.5 feet wide. It has signature lighting of red and blue horizontal lines to create the "glow" alluded to in its name.  Alpine calls the Alpenglow the "Mother of all future Alpines".  The newest vehicles include three electric vehicle models and a new race car to compete in Le Mans.
