Alpine is set to unveil its first all-electric urban sports car, the A290, on June 13 at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans. This is a new chapter in Alpine's story as it unveils its first fully electric model.
The A290 promises to deliver the proper hot-hatch driving experience. The new model was recently spotted testing in the extreme weather conditions of Sweden's Lapland, enduring temperatures as low as -22°F.

Based on the Renault 5 E-Tech, the A290 will measure 157.1 inches in length, 71.7 inches in width, and 59.8 inches in height, with a wheelbase of 99.6 inches. A motorsport-inspired steering wheel wrapped in Nappa leather will convey its sporty character. This unique steering wheel features three functions borrowed from Alpine's Formula 1 cars: Overtake (OV), Recharge (RCH), and Drive mode.
Alpine's partnering with Michelin once again and the A290 will be equipped with either the Pilot Alpin 5 winter tire or a choice of two summer tires - the Pilot Sport EV for energy efficiency and the Pilot Sport S5 for maximum performance. These tires, marked with the "A29" code, reveal optimizations specific for the upcoming model.
