Renault's reborn Alpine team will work with Lotus on an EV sports car

Renault wants to be known as a technology-focused sports car powerhouse. To that end, the company is relaunching Alpine — a French manufacturer established in 1955 and acquired by Renault in 1973 — as an umbrella brand for all of its high-performance initiatives, including Renault Sport Cars and Renault Sport Racing (RSR). Today, though, Renault revealed that Alpine will also become a cutting-edge EV maker.
