Less than a month before its debut, Alpine has revealed new images of the A390, which is being tested at the advanced technology center in Ladoux, Auvergne, France.
The new 5-seater sports fastback from the Dieppe brand, set to be unveiled on May 27, is undergoing a final round of testing, where Alpine engineers are putting the technologies that equip the A390 to the test and determining its dynamic behavior, enabled by the three electric motors that allow for Alpine Active Torque Vectoring and its 5 driving modes, including the new Track Mode, which adjusts the settings of the ESC (Electronic Stability Control).
Additionally, the Alpine Drive Sound system is also being tested to provide a more immersive experience. Just like the A290, Alpine has created two specific sounds for its new model. The sportier sound is inspired by the type of sound from the A110 but does not attempt to replicate the sound of a combustion engine. The second sound, more geared towards everyday use, has fewer low frequencies. Both can be adjusted to two levels of intensity and can even be completely turned off.
Remember that the new A390 will join Alpine’s 100% electric Dream Garage, alongside the A290, the electric hot hatch presented last June, and it will be produced at the Dieppe factory in France, where Alpine manufactures the sports car A110.
