The New Alpine A 290 is here.
Lovely, pleasant, but... Electric. 3, 99 meters, 1480 Kilos ( ouch! that is super heavy for an Alpine, the A 110, was 1115 Kilos )... 180 or 220 HP, 285 Nm or 300 Nm, 0 to 100 Km/h in 7, 4 seconds ( 180 HP ) or 6, 4 seconds ( 220 HP ), and an autonomy of....
For once I do not agree with you, sorry! 🤷🏼♂️🙈😅
This is a horrible Alpine. Only Marketing. The Performance is a joke - in every aspect. And the dimensions - there is so much wrong here! 😱 Much to high. They tried to cover it up a bit with the large wheels. They failed. For me it looks as a „wanna be“ -...
You didn‘t wanted to be that hard. Your French, you own a beautiful Alpine, there is proud, and this model hurts! I understand very well! 😉
It s a pity for Alpine. But look at Lotus! Same story there! The Lotus Eletre… 😱😱😱 Not with a hot hatch but with an SUV. Apparently there is no market left for niche performance cars…
The best image is the one in the forest where everything is blurry
The camera car (or drone) must have been going at least 100 kph to stay ahead of it Cazalea
The autonomy is ridiculous!
That's way too short of range. And the acceleration is also too slow. And I don't do FWD.
For Alpine to do a FWD car...
For Alpine to do a FWD car, that would really drag down its brand perception in USA. In USA, it would be perceived as a luxury European performance brand like Mercedes-Benz or BMW (these brands didn't offer a FWD car until recently). But to include a FWD ...
What a load of BS
The worst part was reading the CEO interview trying to convince himself and readers about the merits of the new model. That thing is at least 500kg too heavy, what a bunch of BS.
Isn't this using the same power to weight ratio as the F1 cars?
Sorry that was a cheap shot at the very under performing Alpine F1 team, but agree with all said by others a big NO on this one for sure. Marc
Although I think it's a good looking car ....
.. I'd still prefer the regular 150 hp / 150 kph (93mph) R5. You got to look differently at this car, destined for people who need (want?) an extra car for the city or the local community stuff. A range of 380 or 400 km is not bad for a small EV .. rememb...
Let's hope the new A110 will be light.
I really doubt it will go under 1400 kilos. It will need at least 300 hp and a 60+ kWh battery pack. Again ... it will be a great car to drive, but not as great as driving the petrol A110. I'm still trying to figure out how to buy (where to steal the mone...
