So after the fall out with Caterham which endangered the Alpine A110 revival project, Renault decided to go it alone and they are now ready to preview the final design of the car with the Renault Alpine Vision concept. A production version will be revealed before the end of the year.
This is, of course, fantastic news, even though some people may complain that the new Renault Alpine Vision could have been more loyal to the design of the original. At any rate, what we see in these pictures look good enough, and even if it didn’t, just the fact Renault is launching a new sports car is a cause for celebration.

The 2017 Renault Alpine Vision will be powered by a new four-cylinder turbocharged engine made by Renault Sport, and although they are not saying yet what kind of power this unit produces, they have revealed the 0 to 10 km/h time for the car and it’s “less than 4.5 seconds.” The new Alpine, just like the original, will owe most of its performance prowess to lack of weight.

“Motorsports and sports cars are deeply rooted in the DNA of Groupe Renault,” said Carlos Ghosn, Groupe Renault Chairman and CEO. “Earlier this month we announced our return to Formula One with a Renault team, and today we are announcing Alpine. This is an exciting next step in our strategy to leverage talent and technology between road and track, and we look forward to reaching new customers in the sport premium cars segment.”
