ALPINE has a rich history in rallying, having won the inaugural World Rally Championship in 1973 - and the firm is heading back to the forests with the new A290 Rallye.

Stage is set for Rallye version of Alpine hot hatch

Like the A110 Rally unveiled in 2019, the all-electric A290 Rallye is a genuine racing car. It has been developed by Alpine's hi-tech engineering facility in Viry-Châtillon, France, and will hit the start line at a “single-rally challenge” before the end of the year, the firm says.
