The Alpine car marque was created in 1954.

[[Jean Rédélé]], the founder of Alpine, was originally a [[Dieppe, Seine-Maritime|Dieppe]] garage proprietor who began to achieve success in motorsport with the [[Renault 4CV]], one of the few French cars produced after the [[Second World War]]. The company has been closely associated to [[Renault]] throughout its history, and was bought by it in 1973.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/con-alpin.html |title=CONSTRUCTORS: ALPINE (AUTOMOBILES ALPINES) |publisher=Grandprix.com |access-date=16 May 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120428035049/http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/con-alpin.html |archive-date=28 April 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref>

The Alpine competition department merged into [[Renault Sport]] in 1976. Renault phased out the Alpine brand in 1995, but relaunched it with the 2017 introduction of the new [[Alpine A110 (2017)|Alpine A110]]. Renault later merged Renault Sport again into Alpine in January 2021, forming an Alpine business unit.

Alpine became an [[Electric vehicles|electric vehicle]] brand with the 2024 introduction of the new [[Alpine A290]]. As part of its global expansion, Alpine in 2023 announced plans to enter the North American market in 2027 with a [[mid-size]] electric [[Crossover SUV|crossover]] and a [[Full-size car|large]] electric [[SUV]].

== History ==

=== Early days ===
[[File:Alpine A106.jpeg|thumb|left|The [[Alpine A106|A106]], Alpine's first car]]
Using [[Renault]] 4CVs, Jean Rédélé gained class wins in a number of major events, including the [[Mille Miglia]] and [[Coupe des Alpes]]. As his experience with the 4CV grew, he incorporated many modifications, including special five-speed gearboxes replacing the original three-speed unit. To provide a lighter car, he built a number of special versions with lightweight aluminium bodies, driving them at [[24 Hours of Le Mans|Le Mans]] and [[12 Hours of Sebring|Sebring]] with some success in the early 1950s.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

Encouraged by the development of these cars and subsequent customer demand, he created the Alpine brand in 1954. It was named "Alpine" after his ''Coupe des Alpes'' successes.<ref name=R /> He did not realise that in England the previous year, [[Sunbeam Motor Car Company|Sunbeam]] had introduced a sports coupe derived from the [[Sunbeam-Talbot|Sunbeam Talbot]], named the "[[Sunbeam Alpine]]". This naming issue caused problems for Alpine throughout its history.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

[[File:Renault Alpine.jpg|thumb|[[Alpine A108]] Berlinette (1958–1965)]]
In 1955, Rédélé worked with the [[Coachbuilder|carrosserie]] [[Chappe et Gessalin]]. They were amongst the pioneers of auto [[glassfibre]] construction and produced a small coupe, based on 4CV mechanicals, called the [[Alpine A106]]. The A106 achieved a number of successes through the 1950s and was joined by a low and stylish cabriolet. Styling for the car was contracted to the Italian designer [[Giovanni Michelotti]]. Under the glassfibre body was a very stiff chassis based on a central tubular backbone which was to be the hallmark of all Alpines.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

Alpine then took the Michelotti cabriolet design and developed a 2+2 closed coupe (or '[[Berlinette (car body)|berlinette]]') body for it: this became the Alpine A108, now featuring the [[Renault Dauphine|Dauphine Gordini]] 845 cc engine, which on later models was bored out to give a capacity of 904 cc or (subsequently) 998 cc.<ref name=Automobilia1962>{{cite journal| title =Automobilia| journal = Toutes les voitures françaises 1962 (Salon Paris oct 1961)| volume = 19| page = Page 9|year = 1200|publisher=Histoire & collections}}</ref>  The A108 was built between 1958 and 1963.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

=== 1960s ===
[[File:Willys Interlagos (1964), Paris Motor Show 2018, IMG 0471.jpg|thumb|Willys Interlagos Berlineta, the Brazilian A108]]
In 1962, the A108 began to be produced also in Brazil, by Willys-Overland, being renamed the [[Willys]] Interlagos (berlineta, coupé and convertible).{{cn|date=May 2025}}

By now the car's mechanicals were beginning to show their age in Europe. Alpine was already working closely with Renault and when the [[Renault R8]] saloon was introduced in 1962, Alpine redeveloped their chassis and made a number of minor body changes to allow the use of R8 mechanicals.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

This new car was the [[Alpine A110|A110 Berlinette]] [[Tour de France automobile|Tour de France]], named after a successful run with the [[Alpine A108]] in the 1962 event. Starting with a 956 cc engine of {{convert|51|bhp|kW|0|abbr=on}}, the same chassis and body developed with relatively minor changes over the years to the stage where, by 1974, the little cars were handling 1800 cc engines developing {{convert|180|bhp|kW|0|abbr=on}}+. With a competition weight for the car of around {{convert|620|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}, the performance was excellent.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

Alpine achieved increasing success in rallying, and by 1968 had been allocated the whole Renault competition budget. This close collaboration with Renault allowed Alpines to be sold and maintained in France by normal Renault dealerships. Real top level success started in 1968 with outright wins in the ''Coupe des Alpes'' and other international events. By this time the competition cars were fitted with 1440 cc engines derived from the Renault R8 [[Gordini]]. Competition successes became numerous, helped by the fact that Alpine was the first company fully to exploit the competitions homologation rules.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

=== 1970s ===
In 1971, Alpines finished first, second and fourth in the [[Monte Carlo rally]], using cars with engines derived from the [[Renault 16]]. In [[1973 World Rally Championship season|1973]], the newer A110 1800 finished first, second, third, and fifth<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ewrc-results.com/final.php?e=12745|title=eWRC-results.com - rally database|website=eWRC-results.com}}</ref> and went on to [[List of World Rally Championship Constructors' Champions|win]] the [[World Rally Championship]] outright, beating [[Porsche]], [[Lancia]] and [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ewrc-results.com/season/1973/|title=Season 1973 rally|website=eWRC-results.com}}</ref> During this time, production of the Alpine A110 increased and manufacturing deals were struck for A110s and A108s with factories in a number of other countries including Spain, Mexico, Brazil and Bulgaria.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

With 1973 came the international petrol crisis, which had profound effects on many specialist car manufacturers worldwide. From a total Alpine production of 1421 in 1972, the numbers of cars sold dropped to 957 in 1974 and the company was bailed out via a takeover by Renault. Alpine's problems had been compounded by the need for them to develop a replacement for the A110, and launch the car alongside drastically increasing European petrol prices.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

[[File:Alpine A110 1800 Gr. IV (1973) Solitude Revival 2019 IMG 1693.jpg|thumb|left|[[Alpine A110]] Berlinette Group 4 (1971–1974).]]
Through the 1970s, Alpine continued to campaign the A110, and later the [[Alpine A310]] replacement car. However, to compete with Alpine's success, other manufacturers developed increasingly special cars, notably the [[Lancia Stratos]] which was based closely on the A110's size and rear-engined concept, though incorporating a Ferrari engine. Alpine's own cars, still based on the 1962 design and using a surprising number of production parts, became increasingly uncompetitive. In [[1974 World Rally Championship season|1974]] Alpine built a series of factory racing [[Renault 17]] Gordinis (one driven by [[Jean-Luc Thérier]]) that won the [[Press on Regardless]] World Rally Championship round in Michigan, US.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

Having achieved the rally championship, and with Renault money now fully behind them, Alpine had set their sights on a new target. The next aim was to win at [[Le Mans 24 Hours|Le Mans]]. Renault had also taken over the Gordini tuning firm and merged the two to form [[Renault Sport]]. A number of increasingly successful sports racing cars appeared, culminating in the 1978 Le Mans win with the [[Renault Alpine A442]]B. This was fitted with a turbo-charged engine; Alpine had been the first company to run in and win an international rally with a turbo car as far back as 1972, when Thérier took a specially modified A110 to victory on the ''Critérium des Cévennes''.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

1971 also saw Alpine begin construction of open-wheel racing cars. Initially in [[Formula Three]], they were building [[Formula Two]] cars within a year as well.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.research-racing.de/AlpineRenault.htm |title=Alpine Renault elf Formula Cars |website=www.research-racing.de |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011230113834/http://www.research-racing.de/AlpineRenault.htm |archive-date=2001-12-30}}</ref> However, without a competitive Renault Formula Two engine available, the F2 cars could neither be known as Renaults nor Alpines while powered by Ford-Cosworth and BMW engines and were labelled Elf 2 and later Elf 2J. A Renault 2.0 litre engine arrived in time for [[Jean-Pierre Jabouille]] to win the [[European Formula 2 Championship]] in 1976. By this time, Alpine with Jabouille driving had built a [[Formula One]] car as a testing mule which lead directly to their entry into the Formula One World Championship in 1977. A second European Formula 2 championship followed with [[René Arnoux]] in 1977 with the customer Martini team, before Alpine sold the F2 operation to [[Willi Kauhsen]] to concentrate on the Le Mans and Formula One programs.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

=== 1980s ===
Alpine Renault continued to develop their range of models all through the 1980s. The A310 was the next modern interpretation of the A110. The Alpine A310 was a sports car with a rear-mounted engine and was initially powered by a four-cylinder 1.6 L sourced Renault 17 TS/Gordini engine. In 1976 the A310 was restyled by [[Robert Opron]] and fitted with the more powerful and newly developed V6 PRV engine. The 2.6 L motor was modified by Alpine with a four-speed manual gearbox. Later they would use a Five-speed manual gearbox and with the group 4 model get a higher tune with more cubic capacity and 3 twin barrel [[Weber carburetors]].{{cn|date=May 2025}}

[[File:Renault Alpine A310.jpg|thumb|[[Alpine A310]] V6 GT Pack (1983–1984)]]
[[File:H904FLB Renault GTA V6.jpg|thumb|[[Renault Alpine GTA/A610|Alpine GTA]]]]
After the A310, Alpine transformed into the new [[Renault Alpine GTA/A610|Renault Alpine GTA]] range, produced from plastic and polyester components, commencing with normally aspirated [[PRV engine|PRV]] V6 engines. In 1985 the V6 turbo was introduced to complete the range. This car was faster and more powerful than the normally aspirated version. In 1986 polyester parts were cut for the first time by robot using a high pressure (3500 bar) water jet, {{convert|0.15|mm|in|2|abbr=on}} in diameter at three times the speed of sound. In the same year the American specification V6 turbo was developed.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

In 1987 the installation of anti-pollution systems allowed the V6 turbo to be distributed to Switzerland, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. 1989 saw the launch of the limited edition GTA ''Mille Miles'' to celebrate Alpine's 35th anniversary. Production was limited to 100 cars, all fitted with ABS braking, polished wheels, special leather interior and paintwork. This version was not available in right hand drive.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

=== 1990s ===
[[File:Alpine A610..0.jpg|thumb|left|[[Renault Alpine GTA/A610#Alpine A610|Alpine A610]] Turbo]]

1990 saw the launch of the special edition wide-bodied GTA ''Le Mans''. Otherwise mechanically identical to the V6 Turbo, the engine was fitted with a catalytic converter and power was reduced to {{convert|185|bhp|kW|0|abbr=on}}. This model was available in the UK and right hand drive versions carried a numbered plaque on the dashboard. The Le Mans is the most collectable and valuable GTA derivative, since only 325 were made (299 LHD and 26 RHD). These were available from Renault dealers in the UK, and the country's motoring press are belatedly recognising the GTA series as the 'great unsung supercar of the 1980s'.

The [[Renault Alpine GTA/A610|Alpine A610]] was launched in 1991. It was re-styled inside and out but was still recognisable as a GTA derivative. The chassis structure was extensively reworked but the central box principal remained the same. The front was completely re-designed the interior was also greatly improved. Air-conditioning and power steering were fitted as standard. The total production run for A610s derivatives was 818 vehicles 67 right hand drive and 751 left hand drive. After production of the A610 ended, the Alpine factory in Dieppe produced the [[Renault Sport Spider]] and a new era was to begin.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

The last Alpine, an A610, rolled off the Dieppe line on 7 April 1995, with Renault abandoning the Alpine name. This was always a problem in the UK market. Alpines could not be sold in the UK under their own name because Sunbeam owned the trade mark (because of the mid-50s Sunbeam Alpine Mk I). In the 1970s, for example, Dieppe were building modified Renault 5s for the worldwide market. The rest of the world knew them as [[Renault 5 Alpine|R5 Alpines]] but in the UK they had to be renamed to [[Renault 5 Gordini|R5 Gordini]]. After numerous company takeovers, the multinational [[Stellantis]] own the British ''Alpine'' trademark as of January 2021.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

The Alpine factory in Dieppe continued to expand; in the 1980s they built the special [[Renault 5 Turbo|R5 Turbo]] cars, following the rear engine formula they had always used. They built all [[Clio Williams]] and RenaultSport Spiders. The factory put its Alpine badges on the early batches of the mid-engine Clio series one Clio V6. The Clio Series 2 was also assembled there with more recent RenaultSport Clio 172 and RenaultSport Clio 182s.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

Between 1989 and 1995, a projected new Alpine named the A710 "Berlinette 2", was designed and two prototypes were built. The A710 used the 2-litre, 150 horsepower engine from the Renault Clio Williams mounted in an aluminium chassis.<ref name="RP710">{{Cite web |last=Porter |first=Richard |date=30 Mar 2023 |title=Alpine A710 – dead on arrival |url=https://www.evo.co.uk/alpine/205798/alpine-a710-dead-on-arrival |access-date=2023-11-30 |website=Evo |language=en}}</ref> Renault's marketing department stated that the car would need to be less basic and include more modern features such as electric windows and air conditioning. Subsequently, the project was deemed too costly (600 million francs), and as adding more modern equipment and interior would compromise the price and performances, the project was cancelled.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://renaultconcepts.online.fr/alpine/w71.htm |title=Renault Concept – A710 " Berlinette 2 " : l'Alpine sacrifiée |publisher=Renaultconcepts.online.fr |access-date=22 May 2012}}</ref> Despite its cancellation, the engine and aluminium chassis from the A710 were later used on the Renault Sport Spider.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

In 1999, Renault partnered with [[Lotus Cars|Lotus]] to develop the Z11 Berlinette, an art-deco design study investigating the return of the Alpine brand. The car was scheduled to be revealed at the [[Geneva International Motor Show|2001 Geneva Motor Show]] alongside the [[Renault Koleos|Koleos]] concept (codenamed Z10) and the [[Renault Talisman|Talisman]] concept (Z12),<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ayffre |first=Adrien |date=2016-02-05 |title=Renault Berlinette Z11 : L'Alpine Qui Aurait Pu Exister | work = Le Nouvel Automobiliste |url=https://lenouvelautomobiliste.fr/culture/56472/56472/ |access-date=2023-11-30 | language=fr-FR}}</ref> but the project was ultimately shelved and the Z11 was not shown.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bonnaud |first=Christophe |date=12 February 2021 |title=Interview with Axel Breun: "100% electric Alpine cars?

=== 21st century: relaunch of the Alpine marque ===
[[File:Renault Alpine A110-50 (01).JPG|thumb|A concept racing car [[Renault Alpine A110-50]] at [[Auto Shanghai]] 2013]]
In 2005, Renault was reportedly developing a new Alpine car, codenamed project W16. The concept was a small, mid engine 2+2 [[SUV]] based around the design of the [[Renault Wind]] concept car.<ref name="RP710" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Bonnaud |first=Christophe |date=5 September 2020 |title=The long interview – Axel Breun: Alpine, yesterday, today and tomorrow. – LIGNES/auto |url=https://lignesauto.fr/?p=18105 |access-date=2023-11-30 |language=en-US}}</ref> The project never came to fruition.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

In October 2007, Renault's marketing boss Patrick Blain revealed there were plans for several sports cars in Renault's future line up, but stressed that the first model would not arrive until after 2010. Blain confirmed that Renault was unlikely to use a new name for its future sports car and would probably use the Alpine name to brand it. Blain described it as being a "radical sports car" and not just a sports version of a regular model.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.motorauthority.com/cars/renault/renault-planning-%E2%80%98radical-sports-car%E2%80%99/ | work = Motor Authority | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080906153216/http://www.motorauthority.com/cars/renault/renault-planning-%E2%80%98radical-sports-car%E2%80%99/ | archive-date=6 September 2008 | title = Alpine brand revived! | date = 8 October 2007 }}</ref> The new Alpine sports car was to have a version of the [[Nissan PM platform|Premium Midship]] platform from the [[Nissan 350Z]] and would be classed to compete with the [[Mazda MX-5]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Ireson |first=Nelson |url=http://www.motorauthority.com/new-details-on-renaults-revival-of-the-alpine-sports-car.html |title=New details on Renault's revival of the Alpine sports car |publisher=Motorauthority.com |date=15 June 2008 |access-date=22 May 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090621023905/http://www.motorauthority.com/new-details-on-renaults-revival-of-the-alpine-sports-car.html |archive-date=21 June 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In February 2009, Renault confirmed that plans to revive the Alpine brand had been frozen as a direct result of the [[2008 financial crisis]] and the [[Great Recession]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.motorauthority.com/alpine-to-replace-rs-moniker-as-renaults-performance-label.html |title=Report: Renault scraps plans for Alpine revival |publisher=Motorauthority.com |date=25 February 2009 |access-date=22 May 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090801144055/http://www.motorauthority.com/alpine-to-replace-rs-moniker-as-renaults-performance-label.html |archive-date=1 August 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

It was later revealed that Renault had been working on a prototype around 2007, named the Renault W19. The car featured many design cues from the A110 of the 1960s and was based around the drivetrain and chassis of the Nissan 350Z. The project was later cancelled, speculated to be due in part to the arrival of the [[Nissan GT-R]], as well as the [[2008 financial crisis]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Pinatel |first=Cedric |date=2023-07-28 |title=Le jour où Renault n'a pas cru en l'Alpine moderne |url=https://www.caradisiac.com/le-jour-ou-renault-n-a-pas-cru-en-l-alpine-moderne-203626.htm |access-date=2023-11-30 |website=Caradisiac.com |language=fr}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Szczepanski |first=Sebastian |date=2019-04-30 |title=Alpine A110 mogło powrócić w 2007 roku.

In November 2012, Renault and [[Caterham Cars]] announced the purchasing by the latter of a 50% stake in the Renault's wholly owned subsidiary Société des Automobiles Alpine to create a joint venture ([[Société des Automobiles Alpine Caterham]] or SAAC) owned equally by both parts, with the aim of developing affordable sport cars under the Alpine (for Renault) and Caterham (for Caterham Cars) brands, which would be available in 2016.<ref name="reuters.com">{{cite news |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/renault-caterham-idUSL5E8M56CZ20121105 |title=Renault and Caterham to Build Affordable Racecars |agency=reuters.com |access-date=5 November 2012 |work=reuters.com|date=5 November 2012 }}</ref><ref name=BBC /><ref name=CAT /><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/renault-caterham-produce-new-alpine-sports-car |title=Renault, Caterham to produce new Alpine sports car |author=Rendell, Julian |publisher=Autocar.co.uk |date=5 November 2012 |access-date=24 February 2013}}</ref>  In this partnership, Caterham acquired 50% ownership of the Renault's Dieppe assembly plant assets.<ref name=BBC>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-20180599 |title=Caterham Cars and Renault link up to build sportscars |author=Madslien, Jorn |work=[[BBC News]] |publisher=[[BBC]] |date=5 November 2012 |access-date=21 February 2013}}</ref><ref name=CAT>{{cite web |url=http://www.caterhamf1.com/news/2012/caterham-and-renault-to-build-sports-vehicles |title=Caterham Cars and Renault link up to build sportscars |publisher=[[Caterham F1]] |date=5 November 2012 |access-date=24 February 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130210083828/http://caterhamf1.com/news/2012/caterham-and-renault-to-build-sports-vehicles |archive-date=10 February 2013 }}</ref> On 10 June 2014, Renault announced it would be repurchasing the stake from Caterham Cars in SAAC, renaming it Société des Automobiles Alpine.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://media.renault.com/global/en-gb/renaultgroup/Media/PressRelease.aspx?mediaid=58329&nodeid=106 |title=Renault has acquired Caterham Group's stake in Société des Automobiles Alpine Caterham |work=media.renault.com |publisher=Renault |date=10 June 2014 |access-date=10 June 2014 }}{{Dead link|date=March 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> During 2015, two new Alpine concepts were introduced: the Alpine Celebration, unveiled at the Le Mans race weekend, and the [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI]]-created Alpine [[Vision Gran Turismo]].

On 10 December 2020, Alpine and [[MV Agusta]] announced that they would make a special edition of the [[MV Agusta Superveloce]] influenced by the [[Alpine A110 (2017)|Alpine A110]] called the Superveloce 800 Alpine, there would be approximately 110 models made.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.autoblog.com/2020/12/10/mv-agusta-alpine-a110-motorcycle-revealed/| title = MV Agusta creates special Superveloce inspired by the Alpine A110 | access-date=13 December 2020 | work=autoblog.com| date = 10 December 2020 }}</ref>

In January 2021, Alpine said it would absorb the Renault Sport entities (Renault Sport Cars and Renault Sport Racing), merging them with the existing Alpine operations to form a new Alpine business unit. The company also said it had signed a [[memorandum of understanding]] with [[Lotus Cars]] to co-develop an [[electric car|electric]] successor for the A110.<ref name=ALPBU/> In May 2021, [[Les Ulis]]-based Renault Sport Cars was officially renamed Alpine Cars and turned into the main development hub for Alpine as well as the whole Renault group sports cars.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://en.media.renaultgroup.com/news/renault-sport-cars-becomes-alpine-cars-3180-989c5.html |title=Renault Sport Cars becomes Alpine Cars |publisher=Renault Group |access-date=19 October 2021}}</ref>

In mid-2023, Alpine announced its plans for global expansion, including entering the U.S. market by 2027. The brand will introduce a mid-size electric crossover and a large electric SUV as the first vehicles in its North American lineup. Discussions have been initiated with AutoNation to establish a dealership network in the country, with these new electric vehicles being developed specifically to meet the preferences of American consumers.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Miller |first=Caleb |date=2023-06-26 |title=Alpine Confirms 2027 U.S. Expansion, New Electric Sports Cars |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a44346970/alpine-usa-expansion-electric-sports-cars-details/ |access-date=2024-09-29 |website=Car and Driver}}</ref>

==Operations==
===Dieppe plant===
The first assembly plant for Alpine was at a small workshop owned by Rédélé on the Pasteur avenue in [[Dieppe]].<ref name=CAR/> In 1969, to cope with increasing demand, the assembly was moved to a larger facility on de Bréauté avenue, its present location.<ref name=R /><ref name=CAR>{{cite web |url=https://actu.fr/normandie/dieppe_76217/a-dieppe-lusine-alpine-fete-50-ans_25726076.html |title=A Dieppe, l'usine Alpine fête ses 50 ans |trans-title=At Dieppe, the Alpine plant celebrates its 50th anniversary |work=actu.fr |language=French |last=Benard |first=Aurélien |date=8 July 2019 |access-date=10 April 2021}}</ref>

The Dieppe plant has 3.8 hectares of covered buildings. {{As of|2019}}, it had 386 employees.<ref name=DIEPLANT>{{cite web |url=https://group.renault.com/en/our-company/locations/dieppe-plant-2/ |title=Dieppe plant (Alpine) |publisher=Renault |access-date=20 April 2021}}</ref>

The plant is semi-automatised, with high worker input (before the launch of the 2017 A110, vehicles were almost completely hand-built) and focuses on low-volume, high quality assembly. It can produce an average of 15 A110s per day. The plant presses neither steel nor aluminium (the A110s are mostly built on prefabricated alloy panels). The plant has no welding section, as the A110 chassis and bodywork are riveted and glued on a special assembly line and moved to a low-temperature coating plant (able to paint both the alloy and plastic elements) and then to a sanding robot (to remove imperfections) and wiping robot (to clean the vehicle). Final assembly is made on a single line, with logistics teams preparing the vehicle's components beforehand to travel along the line with it. Cockpits are assembled and put on by the side and pre-assembled powertrains are put on the rear.<ref name=Just>{{cite web |url=https://www.just-auto.com/analysis/plant-focus-alpines-dieppe-sportscar-factory_id183498.aspx |title=Plant focus: Alpine's Dieppe sportscar factory |last=Roberts |first=Graeme |work=Just-auto.com |date=11 July 2018 |access-date=20 April 2021 |archive-date=20 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210420020235/https://www.just-auto.com/analysis/plant-focus-alpines-dieppe-sportscar-factory_id183498.aspx |url-status=dead }}</ref> Apart from low-volume cars, the Dieppe plant also assembles racing cars<ref name=DIEPLANT/> (such as the Clio Rally4, a rallying car based on the fifth-generation [[Renault Clio]]), co-develops racing cars,<ref name=RSR>{{cite press release |url=https://www.renaultsport.com/225-new-clios-already-delivered.html |title=225 New Clios already delivered! |publisher=Renault Sport |access-date=22 April 2021}}</ref> produces and sells parts for racing cars,  and tunes engines.<ref name=DIEPLANT/>

From the late 1970s, Alpine's Dieppe plant produced Renault Sport models and, after the discontinuation of the Alpine brand in 1995, this became its main focus.<ref name=DIEPLANT/><ref name=Just/> Renault Sport models produced over time by Alpine include: Renault 5 Turbo, [[Renault Sport Spider]], [[Clio Renault Sport]], [[Mégane Renault Sport]].<ref name=DIEPLANT/><ref name=Just/> The last Renault Sport model produced by Dieppe aimed at the mainstream market was the fourth-generation Clio Renault Sport, which was put out of production at the site in 2018. Between 2015 and 2016, the plant also assembled the [[Bolloré Bluecar]].<ref name=DIEPLANT/>
