ALPINE A390

It follows the atmosphere of the concept car unveiled at the Paris Motor Show.
The Alpine A390 prototype, spotted in the snowy Scandinavian countryside, is heavily camouflaged, but it appears to retain the overall look of the concept car unveiled at the Paris Motor Show.
The A390’s side windows, curved roofline, and rear panel are likely inspired by the original A110. This design gives the A390 a slimmer appearance. Like the concept car, it may also feature a light bar connecting both ends of the front and triangular LED lights.
The details have been modified to resemble a mass-produced model.

[1] The concept car’s double-door doors will likely not be adopted. [2] The body, especially at the rear, has been made taller.
The concept car was equipped with compact, very thin door mirrors, but these have been replaced with regular-sized plastic ones to meet European safety regulations. Unlike the beta model, the production model will have standard B-pillars. The rear door handles appear to be on the C-pillars, suggesting the production model’s doors will not be double-doors.
The most obvious difference is the overall height: the concept car had rear wheel arches that cut deeply into the quarter panels, whereas the prototype we saw this time has a longer distance between the top of the arch and the base of the C-pillar.
Torque vectoring for agile maneuverability
The triple motor and torque vectoring promise to provide a sporty driving experience.
This is thought to be due to the triple motor configuration with two motors mounted at the rear rather than a shape that emphasizes practicality. The torque vectoring function is said to enable not only powerful but also sporty driving. The world premiere of the A390 is expected to be in the second half of 2025.
