R5 hot hatch marks start of Alpine's EV renaissance

摘要

Renault-owned brand's EV-only line-up will follow the R5 with an SUV and sports car. Alpine's reinvention as an electric performance brand will kick off in 2024 with the arrival of the R5 hot hatch, which will also play a key role in showcasing the Renault Group's EV technology. The new Alpine R5 will be launched alongside the revived Renault 5 EV, which will replace the Zoe as the French firm's entry-level electric hatch. The R5 will be the first of three fully electric Alpine models that will spearhead the brand's transformation from offering just the A110 sports car into what Renault bosses have called a 'mini Ferrari', with a line-up of EV-only premium models and responsibility for the group's motorsport projects.
