Alpine has unveiled the Hy4 prototype, a sports car with a hydrogen combustion engine, demonstrating the brand’s commitment to exploring sustainable alternatives for high-performance vehicles.
This model is an evolution of the 2022 Alpenglow concept and features a 2.0-liter turbo engine capable of producing 340 horsepower. The engine uses three pressurized hydrogen tanks to fuel the system, and power is delivered to the wheels through a sequential transmission.
Alpine plans to develop a larger V-6 engine, specifically designed for hydrogen applications, which will be introduced in a future model, possibly called Hy6. The Hy4 will make its public debut during a six-hour endurance race at Spa-Francorchamps, as part of the FIA WEC 2024 season, before heading to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Although the Hy4 is designed for track use, Alpine suggests that the propulsion system technology could be applied to road cars. This prototype demonstrates the potential of hydrogen as an alternative for combustion engines, with the benefit of reduced emissions without sacrificing performance.
