Alpine gave the world its first glimpse of the A390, the second all-electric vehicle in its Dream Garage range, in Dieppe, France, the brand’s historic birthplace and the location for producing this new sport fastback.
BWT Alpine F1 Team driver Pierre Gasly got behind the wheel of the A390 alongside Alpine ambassador and sponsor of its equal opportunities programmes, Zinedine Zidane.
The presentation of the A390 heralded the start of a week of festivities that will attract an unprecedented number of cars and enthusiasts to the beaches of this famous Normandy town.
“Someone once said that life begins at 70, and that could well be true for Alpine with the arrival of this second model in the Dream Garage, one of seven electric models expected by 2030. In 2025, the Alpine A390 reminds the world that the soul matters more than software. For a car lover like me, it’s hard to imagine anything more exciting than reviving a legendary brand and projecting it into new territories, showing that the original recipe is more relevant than ever.”
Alpine A390, the soul of Alpine in a sport fastback
A single obsession drove the creation of the Alpine A390: driving pleasure. Alpine’s all-new sport fastback embodies the brand’s DNA and the exhilarating driving experience of the A110 with added versatility. It can be summed up as follows: a racing car in a suit.
The A390 is the second model in Alpine’s Dream Garage, following the A290 and preceding the future A110, which will also be 100% electric. It will expand the brand’s customer base by attracting new buyers and appealing to professional customers.

“The Alpine A390, or how to reinvent the spirit of the A110 in a 5-seat sport fastback. The A390 is the quintessential Alpine, combining sportiness and performance with technology and refinement, all for a unique driving experience that is equally suited to everyday use and more spirited driving. Inspired by French design expertise, its distinctive styling will delight all lovers of beautiful sports cars, just as Alpine has done for more than 70 years. Above all, this all-wheel-drive sport fastback is the finished product from a team of passionate men and women who believe electric sportiness is meaningful and are working hard to do it justice.”
“Even before its stylistic expression, the A390’s proportions are visible from afar with its A110-inspired profile. It offers a unique silhouette, an expression of the dynamic behaviour of our sport fastback. It features many elements from our A390_β show car, and its lighting signature takes its inspiration directly from the Alpine Alpenglow concept and the A424 Hypercar competing in the World Endurance Championship.”
“We set the bar very high in terms of performance for the A390. Our engineers and test drivers have developed innovations that enable us to meet this technological challenge and achieve performance worthy of an A110 while ensuring the safety and comfort of a versatile electric fastback. Combined with its unique design, we are extremely proud of the result: a new Alpine that is as innovative as it is faithful to the brand’s spirit. See you at the next corner!”
