Alpine (automobile)

Alpine (French pronunciation: ​[alpin(ə)]) is a French manufacturer of racing and sports cars that used rear-mounted Renault engines. Jean Rédélé, the founder of Alpine, was originally a Dieppe garage proprietor, who began to achieve considerable competition success in one of the few French cars produced just after the Second World War. The company was bought in 1973 by Renault. Production of Alpine models ceased in 1995 and there are plans to relaunch the marque from 2017 onwards.
