Did you ever ask yourself what a 2035 sports car will look like? If you didn't, don't worry, you are not the only one. The French maker Alpine wanted to know how people imagine a car like that, so it challenged the students from Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) to come up with a design for it.
The result - a hydrogen-powered, two-seater supercar named "A4810", and it uses next-generation technologies.

The challenge when designing this concept car was to obtain a car that is not only technologically advanced, but also environmentally friendly. It was supposed to retain the traditional characteristics of the Alpine brand and also offer a glimpse into the future supercars.
The concept's name "A4810" is a direct reference to the height of Mont Blanc - the most emblematic peak in the Alps.
The A4810's look and aerodynamic features were inspired by Formula 1. It measures 5,091 mm in length (200.43 inches), 2,010 mm in width (79.13 inches) and 1,055 mm in height (41.55 inches). The concept was built on a 2,717 mm wheelbase (106.96 inches).

While we know the A4810 features a hydrogen powertrain, Alpine revealed no details on the output figure. However, in order to be worthy of a 2035 supercar, we assume it needs at least 2,000 horsepower under the hood.
The concept's exterior features bi-tone colors, matte black, and carbon fiber highlights, while the interior was designed through sketches, 3D models, renderings, animations, and HMI (Human Machine Interface) development.
“The Alpine A4810 project by IED has been a very exciting experience with IED students and lecturers”, said Raphael Linari, Alpine Chief Designer. “The result is a futuristic supercar that explores new territories for the brand in terms of package, proportions, and design language. The different creative approaches of the young talented students combined with IED know-how gave rise to some very interesting responses. Furthermore, the extraordinary final result makes the collaboration a resounding success!”
