A new era
Protagonist of endurance races since 2013, Alpine renews and reaffirms its love for competitions by entering the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship, the Hypercar. The A424_β inaugurates this new chapter by drawing on the heritage gained in racing in terms of experience and tradition by drawing on the DNA of the brand. Its design reveals the stylistic cues of future series models. Thanks to the LMDh regulation, this prototype highlights the sporting nature of Alpine and embodies its ambitions in a category in which it will challenge the names of the most famous brands in motorsport.
An evocative name
With its design, the A424_β reaffirms the brand’s DNA and foreshadows its future. The name A424_β is a symbol of this: the terminology of the A followed by three digits starting with 4, respects the tradition of Alpine’s winning Endurance cars, 24 echoes the 24 Hours of Le Mans and 2024, and β denotes the final stage before of the launch. The A424_β is the emblem of Alpine elegance and sportiness. A true work of automotive art, it heralds Alpine’s future light signature on an extraordinarily bold and assertive front end, while the rear reveals two exceptionally eye-catching A-shaped arrows. The triangular motif that symbolizes Alpine’s snowflakes also shines through on the retractable fins and rear wing.
In the cockpit, the pilot it settles within a refined, elegant and smooth body, similar to that of a road-going supercar. The flanks are also inspired by Alpenglow, Alpine’s manifesto, which embodies the fascinating future of the brand’s production and competition models.
