Students at the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) presented the ‘A4810 Project by IED', their new concept car made in collaboration with Alpine. The result of this collaboration between the Italian design school and Alpine is a hydrogen-powered two-seater supercar. More technological and environmentally friendly, this model is a glimpse into just how sporty the future is set to become. The student-led project is a ideal way for Alpine to broaden its horizons to new generations of designers and drivers, and it also gave rise to a spectacular project presented by talented students.
Alpine proposed the students to design a ‘super berlinette' for the year 2035. The two-seater supercar was designed to be a high-performing vehicle both in terms of performance and environmental impact. After the brief was given last autumn, students worked individually to come up with their own interpretation and present it to the brand. Alpine then selected a combination of two main ideas. Based on the two selected proposals, the young designers created the ‘A4810 Project by IED': a light yet powerful and agile concept car that boasts pure driving pleasure. During the design phase, the students sought to combine vision and innovation, without losing sight of the traditional roots of the French car manufacturer.
