Alpine A424

Automobiles

The Alpine A424 is an LMDh sports prototype racing car designed by Automobiles Alpine and built by Oreca to compete in the Le Mans Hypercar class of the FIA World Endurance Championship. Alpine announced its entry on 5 October 2021 and unveiled a show car, the A424 Beta, at the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans on 9 June 2023. The car is built on the next generation Oreca LMP2 chassis and uses a hybrid powertrain that pairs a single-turbocharged V6, a heavily modified version of the Mecachrome V634 engine, with standardised hybrid components from Williams Advanced Engineering, Bosch and Xtrac, and Signatech runs two cars. The A424 debuted at the opening round of the 2024 season in Qatar, took its first victory at the 2025 6 Hours of Fuji and earned its first pole position at the 2026 6 Hours of Fuji.
