Alpine Alpenglow

The Alpine Alpenglow is a hydrogen-powered concept car from the French automaker Alpine, announced online on 13 October 2022 and shown to the public at the Paris Motor Show four days later. It is a showcase for the brand's zero-emission direction and for the design language of future Alpine models. Rather than using a fuel cell, the Alpenglow burns hydrogen as fuel in conventional internal combustion engines, with the gas held in three separate pressurised tanks of about 2.1 kg each. The first show car was followed on 13 May 2024 by a fully functional version, the Alpenglow Hy4, which Alpine described as a rolling laboratory designed as a racing car and which uses a 2.0 litre turbocharged four cylinder engine rated at 340 horsepower. A more powerful Alpenglow Hy6 with a 3.5 litre twin-turbocharged V6 rated at 740 horsepower was revealed in October 2024. Both versions drive the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential transmission.
