Behind the scenes of the design of the Alpine A390_β
London, January 23, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –––A show car of the future A390 sport fastback launched in 2025. Alpine has chosen to call on specialist partners, true craftsmen of various materials, whose unique know-how contributes to making this show car an exceptional object.
The headrests are 3D printed by Erpro Group, the French leader in 3D printing, which develops cutting-edge prototypes for the automotive, aeronautical, design and luxury sectors. The presentation of a show car like the A390_β, a pure concentrate of performance and technology, is a particularly powerful moment for the Alpine brand. It is tangible proof of the level of excellence to which the future production model will be held. It also represents several opportunities for the team, such as discussing and testing new materials, deepening the use of materials that are strong identifiers for the brand, like carbon, or testing new manufacturing methods. Alpine has chosen to call on specialist partners, true craftsmen of various materials, whose unique know-how contributes to making this show car an exceptional object.
The vehicle’s floor is made from high-performance carbon by Lavoisier Composites, a Lyon-based start-up specialising in developing and manufacturing eco-sourced composite parts. This exclusive creation is made entirely from recycled materials sourced from the aeronautical and solar industries.
As each show car is a unique creation, with parts and components made entirely to measure, Alpine has chosen to work with French partners for several reasons: the high standards and attention to detail that define French craftsmen, access to state-of-the-art equipment, and geographical proximity that facilitates workshops and shipping.
For the A390_β, two French manufacturers have been chosen to develop essential elements of the show car: Erpro Group for the headrests and various 3D printed parts, and Lavoisier Composites for the floor.
