The Alpine Alpenglow (fr) is a hydrogen-powered concept car from French automaker Alpine, unveiled in October 2022.[4][5]

Overview

Presentation

The Alpenglow was announced by Alpine on October 13, 2022 at 9 a.m. through an image on the web.[6][7][8] It was then presented on 17 October at the 2022 Paris Motor Show.[9][10]

An updated fully-functional version of the Alpenglow, now named the Alpenglow Hy4, was unveiled on 13 May 2024 at the 2024 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps; it is described by Alpine as a "rolling lab designed as a racing car". The car is expected to make a number of demo runs at the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans.[11][12]

A significantly more powerful variant with a larger V6 engine, appropriately named "Alpenglow Hy6", was later revealed on 14 October 2024.[13]

Alpenglow hydrogen-powered hypercar that made its UK debut at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, featuring a 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 engine producing 740bhp and showcasing Alpine's commitment to sustainable and high-performance automotive technology.[14]

Powertrains

The Alpenglow burns hydrogen as fuel in conventional internal combustion engines. The hydrogen is stored on 3 separate pressurized tanks, each holding 2.1Kg of the gas.

The Alpenglow Hy4 is powered by a 2.0 L turbocharged I4 developing 340 hp. The Alpenglow Hy6 is powered by a 3.5 L twin-turbochaged V6 delivering 740 hp.

Both send power to the rear wheels through a 6-speed sequential transmission.
