Alpine A390: F1-Inspired Electric SUV Takes Aim at Porsche

French performance brand and Formula One team Alpine has unveiled its second all-electric model, the A390, a sport fastback SUV designed to rival the Porsche Macan and other premium EVs. The A390 is the company’s first bespoke EV, built on Renault Group’s AmpR Medium platform, and features an 89kWh battery with a claimed maximum range of 342 miles.

The A390 is Alpine’s first four-wheel-drive model, using a single front motor and twin rear motors with active torque vectoring for improved agility and grip. The range-topping GTS version produces 464bhp and accelerates from 0-62mph in 3.9 seconds, quicker than a Porsche Macan 4S. A GT model with 395bhp achieves the same sprint in 4.8 seconds. Fast charging at up to 190kW enables a 15-80 percent charge in under 25 minutes.

Alpine describes the A390 as a ‘racing car in a suit’, with sleek coupe-like styling that seats five and offers a 532-litre boot. Exterior details include ultra-slim LED headlights with ‘cosmic dust’ triangular elements, an F1-style front spoiler, and a rear screen mimicking a helmet visor. The interior features two 12-inch digital screens, a flat-bottomed steering wheel with F1-inspired buttons for brake regeneration and boost, and a Google-powered infotainment system.

The GTS comes with Sabelt bucket seats and a Devialet audio system, while both models offer extensive personalisation options. Prices are expected to start around £60,000 for the GT and £70,000 for the GTS, undercutting the equivalent Porsche Macan. Order books open in November 2025, with first UK deliveries in mid-2026. Priority ordering is available via a VIP A Pass.
