When Alpine announced it was expanding its lineup beyond the nimble A110 coupe, purists naturally held their breath. How do you translate the delicate balance, razor-sharp feedback, and lightweight soul of a classic French sports car into a dynamic five-seater fastback?
The answer arrives in its purest, most potent form: the range-topping Alpine A390 GTS.
Positioned at the absolute peak of the A390 hierarchy, the GTS isn’t merely a trim level with extra horsepower; it is an uncompromising statement on what happens when high-voltage engineering meets Dieppe’s motorsport heritage.
Unbridled Performance at the Touch of a Button
While the standard A390 GT is no slouch, the GTS pushes performance into supercar-baiting territory. Harnessing a tri-motor setup, the flagship variant releases a formidable 470 hp, slicing the 0–62 mph sprint down to just 3.9 seconds.
When rapid overtaking manoeuvres demand immediate execution, the steering wheel features Alpine’s signature 'OV' (Overtake) button, a dedicated, red control that instantly dumps maximum electric output for a surge of linear acceleration.
Yet, despite this intoxicating performance, range anxiety remains firmly off the spec sheet. Powered by an advanced battery architecture, the GTS achieves a impressive WLTP driving range of up to 329 miles, ensuring long-distance Grand Touring credentials match its sprint capability.
Precision Dynamics: Active Torque Vectoring
Raw power in an electric car is easy; controlling it with finesse is where Alpine excels. The party piece of the A390 GTS lies in its sophisticated all-wheel-drive configuration.
By mounting two electric motors on the rear axle, one dedicated to each individual wheel, and a third motor at the front, the vehicle utilizes Alpine Active Torque Vectoring. This intelligent system continuously reads driver inputs and road conditions, shuffling power across each wheel in real-time.
The result is a driving experience that feels remarkably confident, planted, and agile—giving drivers complete poise through tight apexes while retaining four-wheel-drive reassurance during adverse winter weather.
The GTS isn't just designed for driving thrills, it integrates seamlessly into modern living through advanced energy management. Equipped with Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) capabilities, the car acts as a mobile energy hub. Whether powering home appliances during outage events or feeding stored energy back into the national grid during peak hours to earn extra return, the A390 GTS turns its high-capacity powerpack into a functional household asset.
Beneath the sleek, aerodynamic fastback silhouette sits surprising practicality. The hatchback tailgate opens up to reveal a generous 518 litres of boot capacity, accommodating luggage, sports gear, or family supplies with ease.
The A390 GTS strikes an elusive balance: it delivers genuine sports car thrills without demanding driver compromise. For those seeking the ultimate fusion of electric innovation, heritage dynamics, and daily versatility, the GTS stands in a class of its own.
