Alpine’s Awesome ALPENGLOW!

Alpine Alpenglow Hy6 Concept

Alpenglow is a peek into the future of super cool sports cars and race cars.

This concept car runs on hydrogen, making it super powerful and exciting to drive while also being way better for the planet.

It’s built with cool racing tech and inspires Alpine’s next gen of awesome, sustainable cars.

Meet Alpine’s Alpenglow...

a futuristic hydrogen-powered concept car with a roaring 740bhp "Hy6" engine!

First revealed in 2022, it’s now a working prototype, built for performance and planet-friendliness. Instead of petrol, it burns hydrogen, releasing just warm air and water vapor.

Alpenglow is not just high-tech engineering either. Its sleek aerodynamic design is built for speed and sustainability.

Roadster! editor Sam met Alpenglow at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where its sleek design and clean tech wowed the crowds.

3. Maths Challenge

Use the fact box on the page!

1. The Alpenglow can reach 350 kph. How many mph is that? (Hint: 1 kph ≈ 0.62 mph)

2. It goes from 0–62 mph in 2.15 seconds. How many times faster is that than a school run of 10 minutes

(600 seconds)?

3. If the Alpenglow could keep its top speed of 350 kph, how far would it travel in:

1 hour?

2 hours?

4. Science Thinking

Why is hydrogen a better fuel for the planet than petrol or diesel?

What comes out of the car’s exhaust?

Why do you think car designers care about aerodynamics?

5. Creative Task

Imagine you are driving the Alpenglow at top speed! Write a short description of your journey.

You could describe:

● How the car looks and feels

● What you can see out of the window

● The reaction of people who see you drive past
