French carmaker Alpine announced its return to the premium sports car market after a 22-year absence with the introduction of the Vision show car, with its production equivalent expected later this year.
The show car, scheduled to be premiered at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, retains the design in its concept model unveiled in early last year, now in its production-ready form. It harkens back to the famed iconic A110 of the 1960s, from the headlamps and fog lamps with X-shaped lighting that evokes the A110 that raced and won in rally courses, to the C-shaped sculpted sides to the horizontal shaped tail lamps and rear window, and to the very shape of the car itself.
