Meet the all-electric 2025 Alpine A290 GT, a small car that’s the start of something huge for the sporty Renault sub-brand that wants to be France’s answer to Porsche.

Alpine has committed to launching seven EVs by 2030, including an electric replacement for the A110, and crossover SUVs that should come to the US. But first to arrive is the A290 a hot-hatch version of the new all-electric, retro-styled Renault 5 E-Tech, which was unveiled today at the Le Mans 24 Hour race in France.

The fastest Renault 5 gets a 148 hp (110 kW / 150 PS) electric motor that drives the front wheels, and while the A290 sticks with the two-wheel drive layout it ups the pony count considerably.

Alpine’s version makes 217 hp (220 PS / 160 kW) in its most potent GT Performance form, which drops the zero to 62 mph (100 kmh) time from the 5 E-Tech’s 8 seconds to 6.4 seconds. A less powerful model, badged simply A290 GT, generates 178 hp (180 PS / 130 kW) and takes a second longer to reach 62 mph.
