This is the Alpine Alpenglow Hy6, and it is essentially a production-ready version of a hydrogen hypercar concept the French automaker unveiled a while back.
This is a potential game changer because it combines something we all love, a roaring engine, with something we need, a clean engine.
Alpenglow Hy6 is powered by a unique hydrogen-hybrid engine.
It’s every bit as efficient as it is fast.

From concept to production
The Alpenglow Hy6 is based on the original concept car that Supercar Blondie’s Alex Hirschi was able to experience in person.
First unveiled in 2022, Alpine spent the last two years testing the prototype on the road with the ultimate goal of creating a potential candidate for production.
It’s here now, and the best part about it is it looks exactly as gorgeous as the original concept.
It’s long, wide and very low to the ground – and you can tell.
The hypercar is 5.2 meters (204 inches) long, which makes it longer than a BMW 5 Series.
It is only 1.14 meters (44 inches) tall and a whopping 2.10 meters (82 inches) wide, which makes it significantly wider than most cars on the road today.
The incredible engine that powers the Alpine Alpenglow Hy6
Alpenglow Hy6 combines a 3500CC biturbo V6 with hydrogen power.
It produces 740PS (730 horsepower) and in return, you get clean water from the exhaust type.
Literally, as it turns out, because this car only emits water.
Alpine hasn’t mentioned a 0-60 time yet, but they did say that the top speed is 330km/h, equivalent to 205mph.
It’s great to see that Alpine hasn’t revolutionized the original bodywork from the concept.
It still looks gorgeous, and completely wild, including the translucent wing, which is still there.
