New Renault 5 GT Turbo returns for 2024 // Alpine A290 First Look Review. Jonny Smith heads to a secret location in Paris to spend a short time looking over the important Alpine A290 electric hot hatch. This is Alpine's first hot hatch (since the brand was reborn anyway) and it is their first EV.

Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.

Based on the fabulously executed Renault 5 electric, Alpine has fitted a larger (220hp) motor from the Megane and Scenic E-Tech, reworked the entire suspension system, added motorsport inspired body styling and thus possibly created the finest hot hatch of 2024.
