For car enthusiasts and motorsport fans, 2025 marks a significant milestone—the 70th anniversary of Alpine, the legendary French sports car manufacturer. Founded in 1955 by Jean Rédélé, Alpine has carved out a reputation for lightweight, high-performance vehicles that blend innovation with a racing spirit. And what better place to celebrate this legacy than in Dieppe, the very heart of Alpine’s history?
A Legacy Built on Passion and Performance
Jean Rédélé, a visionary engineer and racing driver, established Alpine with a singular goal: to create nimble, race-winning cars based on Renault platforms. His first creation, the Alpine A106, set the foundation for a brand that would later produce icons like the A110 Berlinette—a model that dominated rally racing in the 1960s and 70s, including victory in the inaugural World Rally Championship in 1973.
Over the decades, Alpine has remained a symbol of French automotive engineering, excelling in motorsports and road cars alike. After a brief hiatus, Alpine was revived by Renault in the 2010s, bringing forth the new A110, a modern reimagining of the classic Berlinette. The brand’s presence in Formula 1 further solidifies its reputation as a performance powerhouse.
