Can a small electric car ever truly be fun? This is the question Alpine hopes to answer with the new A290 hatchback, due out in 2024. And to whet our appetite before then, the French company has revealed a three-seat concept version called the A290_β.
A muscular, four-square car with a short wheelbase and the look of a tarmac stage rally racer, the A290_β’s most defining feature is how the driver sits in the middle – just like in a McLaren F1 or Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 supercar.
