Alpine - WEC - A424

ALPINE A424

A RETURN TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL

Alpine returns to the highest echelon of Endurance racing. Over 60 years of history enters a thrilling new hybrid era with the striking A424 Hypercar prototype. It aims to replicate Alpine’s famous 1978 24 Hours of Le Mans victory, targeting overall honours in the highly contested new Hypercar category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (FIA WEC).

An ongoing legacy

Alpine first entered Endurance racing 61 years ago, giving our new adventure an enthralling and emotional backstory. After our iconic A442B claimed Le Mans victory in 1978, we returned to WEC in 2013 alongside Signatech. World titles in the LMP2 category followed while our A480 stepped up to the series’ highest category in 2021 and 2022, claiming memorable wins, podiums and a vice-champion world title.

Perfect partnership

Extending our close-knit collaboration, the A424 combines the knowhow of Alpine Racing and Signatech with the unique styling of our sportscar design department. The result is a prototype that stands proud of its competitors. Its unmistakeably Alpine aesthetic exhibits some enticing design details which make it both efficient and beautiful to look at.
