Alpine (France) - AllCarIndex

Alpine is a French automotive manufacturer that specializes in the production of sports cars. Founded in 1955 by Jean Rédélé, the brand initially emerged as a subsidiary of the Renault company. The headquarters of Alpine is located in Dieppe, France, where it has maintained a focus on performance-oriented vehicles.

The brand gained prominence in the 1960s and 1970s, particularly with the success of the Alpine A110, which became renowned for its lightweight design and agility. The A110 achieved significant acclaim in motorsport, notably winning the Monte Carlo Rally in 1971, which solidified Alpine's reputation in the automotive world.

After a period of decline in the late 1970s, Alpine was restructured and eventually integrated into Renault. In recent years, the brand has been revitalized, with the introduction of modern models such as the Alpine A110, which pays homage to its predecessor while incorporating contemporary engineering and design.

Alpine continues to focus on producing high-performance sports cars, emphasizing a blend of tradition and innovation. The brand's commitment to motorsport and performance remains a central aspect of its identity.
