Students From a Design School in Italy Developed a New Supercar Concept With Guidance From Alpine. The Hydrogen-Powered Car Combines Sustainability and High Performance

A new concept of a hydrogen-powered supercar has been created by 28 master’s students studying transportation design at the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) in Turin, Italy, in collaboration with Alpine. The concept was named A4810, in recognition of the 4,810 meters of altitude of Mont Blanc, the highest and most emblematic peak of the Alps, which lies on the border between Italy and France, symbolizing the link between the Italian design school, French sports, and the car company. “The A4810 is a car that adopts cutting-edge technologies while upholding the traditional characteristics of the Alpine brand, which was founded in 1955,” says a press release from Alpine.

“A model that is not only technologically advanced, but also environmentally friendly, the A4810 offers a glimpse of future supercars,” highlighted one of the students involved in the project.

The student-led project is one of the new ways that Alpine is adopting to broaden its horizons for new generations of designers and drivers. The two-seater sports car adapts the most advanced application of a sustainable hydrogen powertrain with the latest in supercar aesthetics. “The French spirit has been skillfully preserved: avoiding unnecessary formal elements, the designers focused on the overlapping layers and sculptural aspects of the car’s silhouette,” says the release.

“Alpine challenged the students to design a ‘super berlinette’ for the year 2035,” according to the release. The hydrogen-powered two-seater supercar was designed to be a high-performance vehicle with a significant environmental impact.

“After the briefing was conducted last fall, the students worked individually to create their own interpretation and present it to the brand. Alpine then selected a combination of the two main ideas. Based on the two selected proposals, the young designers created the ‘A4810 Project by IED’, a lightweight yet powerful and agile concept car that offers pure driving pleasure,” said the brand’s CEO.

Antony Villain, design director at Alpine, spoke about the project result: “The collaboration with the Istituto Europeo di Design and its students has been a great experience. It was a ‘filter’ for us to see the brand through the eyes of the younger generation, as well as an opportunity to share our passion and give them good advice for a successful career in automotive design.”

Creation Process

The student team used digital tools to design the interior of the hydrogen-powered car through sketches, 3D models, renderings, animations, and HMI (Human Machine Interface) development.

By incorporating hydrogen power supply, they developed a complete concept that is almost ready to hit the roads of a much more sustainable future, with zero CO2 emissions.
