TESTED: Hot new 4WD Alpine A390 prototype

Alpine has already wowed us with the A110 sports car, while its first EV, the Renault 5-based A290, is a hoot too.

Now it's time for a more grown-up Alpine, in the form of this A390 crossover.

This EV is still a prototype. A production car arrives in 2026. But with one electric motor at the front and two at the rear it will be able to torque vector its power so promises exceptional handling and agility.

Join Illya Verpraet as he takes to a wet test track in an A390 well ahead of its debut. So far ahead, in fact, that most details are still a secret and the interior is still covered with bags.
