The Alpine Legend: 70 Years Of Racing Spirit And Thrilling Performance

Seventy years ago, in July 1955, Jean Rédélé made a bold move. Just days after founding Alpine, he presented three A106 sports cars to Renault’s top brass. Painted in blue, white, and red, they were a symbol of his ambition. He aimed to create a French sports brand powered by Renault engines. His confidence paid off, securing Renault’s backing and igniting a legacy that still thrives today.

A new video series, Alpine, 70 Years, explores this rich history. It captures both triumphs and challenges while revealing the brand’s future direction.

Episode 1 – The Alpine Legend

Jean-Charles Rédélé

The first episode, The Alpine Legend, delves into the brand’s origins and the road ahead in the electric era. It features two key voices shaping Alpine’s legacy: CEO Philippe Krief and Jean-Charles Rédélé, son of the brand’s founder. Jean-Charles, a passionate collector and amateur driver, opens the doors to his prized Alpine collection. This collection is housed in the very workshop where the first models were built.

As the brand navigates the shift to electric mobility, the brand remains committed to its core values. These include lightweight agility, driving pleasure, and performance. With models like the modern A110 proving that heritage and innovation can coexist, Alpine continues to evolve while staying true to its DNA.
