2035 Alpine A4810: Hydrogen-fuelled supercar imagined

A concept car created by 28 students from the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) in Turin has imagined what a sports car could look like by 2035.

Alpine tasked the Italian design school with creating a futuristic high-performance car, with the Transportation Design class creating the A4810 – a two-seater supercar with a hydrogen-fuelled internal-combustion engine.

“The Alpine A4810 project by IED has been a very exciting experience with students and lecturers”, said Raphael Linari, Alpine’s chief designer.

“The result is a futuristic supercar that explores new territories for the brand in terms of package, proportions, and design language. The different creative approaches of the young, talented students, combined with IED know-how, gave rise to some very interesting responses. Furthermore, the extraordinary final result makes the collaboration a resounding success!”

The students formed the A4810’s F1-inspired look through sketches, 3D models, digital renderings, animations, and Human Machine Interface.

“Collaboration with the Istituto Europeo di Design and its students has been a great experience,” Alpine Design Director Antony Villain said.

“It was a ‘filter’ for us to see the brand through the eyes of the younger generation, but it was also an opportunity to share our passion and know-how, and give them sound advice for a successful career in automotive design.”
