EL FUTURO DE ALPINE COMIENZA CON ALPENGLOW
Así es como deben verse los deportes de motor mañana: tan sensacionales como siempre, y cada vez más limpios. Alpenglow representa el reinicio de Alpine. Está marcando el comienzo de una nueva era que gira en torno a un compromiso sólido para afianzar el desarrollo sostenible en el panorama de los deportes de motor. Su diseño captura el espíritu de competencia que lo ha inspirado desde 1955. El poder que irradia cuando pasa como un rayo es como el de un cometa; el efecto es sobrecogedor, excitante y rayano en lo artístico. Este es el objetivo general de la marca Alpine: deportividad sostenible, combinando emisiones limpias (incluido el hidrógeno) en las alineaciones de carretera y carreras con un diseño en el que el conductor puede fusionarse con la cabina. ¡El futuro comienza aquí!

Una alquimia de elementos naturales
La alquimia entre Alpine y el anhelo de un futuro más limpio es innegable. Alpenglow representa un futuro en el que los coches de carreras, así como las próximas generaciones de productos Alpine, emiten emisiones limpias. El hidrógeno “verde” es una de las soluciones que la marca está barajando para la movilidad sostenible. Un motor de hidrógeno libera prácticamente nada más que vapor durante la combustión. El agua, en otras palabras, es central en el diseño de Alpenglow. Subraya su pureza y su poder.

Los colores y los materiales también evocan el aspecto que tendrán los coches Alpine del futuro: emoción y tecnología entrelazadas para ofrecer a los conductores una experiencia única y real. Los elementos y estados naturales, como el fuego, el agua, el hielo, el viento y el vapor, inspiran las formas impresionantes y generosas de este objeto, su cuerpo fluido y aerodinámico y la sensación general de pureza. Está diseñado como un automóvil ágil y elegante que es tan cómodo en las carreteras como en las pistas.

La competencia de deportes de motor, que impregna la historia de la marca, fue la brújula a lo largo de la creación de Alpenglow. Su carrocería se asemeja a un traje de alas, apuntando a los deportes de montaña más extremos. Dos triángulos se entrelazan, formando una forma singular para provocar sensaciones extraordinarias.

Un nombre vanguardista que anuncia el mañana
Alpenglow es un nombre perfecto. El resplandor rojizo sobre las montañas justo antes del amanecer es un símbolo de este prototipo: es un momento magnífico, el amanecer de tecnologías y formas revolucionarias, y la marca está levantando el velo de la siguiente fase, que marcará el comienzo de los coches Alpine. del futuro.

DISEÑO INSPIRADOR, COMBINACIÓN DE EMOCIONES Y DEPORTIVIDAD SOSTENIBLE
En este monoplaza, el conductor se sienta en la línea central, entre dos tanques de hidrógeno, y se vuelve uno con la cabina. Esta es la idea central del concept car Alpenglow, que captura la esencia misma de la conducción, la emoción que genera sentarse en un Alpine futurista, una inmersión total en características técnicas y tecnológicas vírgenes.

El interior y el exterior en simbiosis
El interior y el exterior de este concept car se fusionan. La carrocería es ligera y parece flotar, envolviendo al conductor que se fusiona con su entorno material. La silueta del conductor deja una huella en el habitáculo, un poco como quien vuelve a caer en la lentitud para dejar su huella. Los dos depósitos en forma de gota de agua tipo “pontón” situados a ambos lados del habitáculo aportan la sensación de estar en armonía con la maquinaria y, al mismo tiempo, optimizan el confort de conducción. El automóvil se convierte en una fuente de placer y un recipiente para el compromiso físico. El vehículo provoca emociones y hechiza al conductor de una manera que nunca olvidará. Esta experiencia de conducción se desarrollará dentro de los futuros modelos Alpine.

Una cabina inspirada en la competencia
Un automóvil deportivo inspirado en las carreras de deportes de motor, más una silueta singular y sofisticada: esa es la promesa de Alpine. La cabina del prototipo Alpenglow es transparente, tiene un toque azulado y tiene forma de casco. Puede distinguir al conductor a través de él, pero se fusiona con el cuerpo del automóvil.

Una rueda motriz alpina
El volante geométrico del concept car Alpenglow está inspirado en los autos de carreras LMP1 (Endurance). Ofrece al conductor una experiencia de conducción deportiva y de alto rendimiento. La identidad alpina brilla a través de los copos de nieve incrustados en un prisma central, con el logotipo al fondo, que recuerda el universo alpino y montañoso que define este objeto creativo y misterioso. Las paletas de cambio de marchas son transparentes y están retroiluminadas, lo que se suma a la ingravidez en el interior delgado, donde solo importa la experiencia. La base del volante también alberga dos selectores para las diversas funciones integradas, que reflejan las de los autos de Fórmula 1 y LMP1. En el prototipo, controlan varias funciones, incluido el control de pista y el frenado regenerativo. El volante también tiene un botón de adelantamiento que desencadena un aumento de potencia. El conductor tiene una llave de encendido en forma de prisma que se inserta en el volante. Completa la pirámide del centro, que se ilumina cuando el coche cobra vida.

Una línea central roja
Una línea roja atraviesa el coche a lo largo. Subraya la posición del conductor, uno con el coche, en un lugar central y exclusivo que lo conecta con la carretera y su entorno.

Las nuevas luces emblemáticas de Alpine
Las luces distintivas de Alpenglow han evolucionado y adoptado un nuevo aspecto. Coinciden con los de los coches Alpine actuales, se destacan por la fuerza de su estilo y poderío actualizados y, al mismo tiempo, se mantienen fieles a la identidad de la marca. Están marcando el comienzo de un nuevo capítulo en la historia de Alpine, donde la pasión por la velocidad y el rendimiento están más vivos que nunca. La corriente de luz comienza en el frente, donde es roja, simbolizando un cometa que ingresa a la atmósfera, y continúa hacia atrás, donde se vuelve en varios tonos de azul que apuntan a su motor de combustión interna de hidrógeno, que libera prácticamente nada más que vapor. También en la parte delantera, los triángulos de luz forman una rociada de estrellas que se elevan desde los cuatro faros, reflejando la firma emblemática de Alpine. En general, crean una impresión completa de movimiento en la carrocería del automóvil. Las luces azuladas en la parte trasera apuntan al uso de hidrógeno. Están abiertos, se ven impresionantes y tienen un propósito, ventilar el vapor de la combustión del hidrógeno. En contacto con el aire, un chorro azul emerge de los tubos de escape limpios, lo que le da al automóvil de concepto Alpenglow un aura deportiva y al mismo tiempo mágica.

Llantas que irradian la identidad de Alpine
Las llantas en forma de copo de nieve en las ruedas tienen una estructura transparente y también capturan algo sobre la identidad de Alpine. Nos transportan a las montañas. El triángulo integrado en el centro de las ruedas subraya esta impresión. Al igual que los triángulos del volante, los de las ruedas contienen hidrógeno y tienen una ventana integrada en el logotipo de Alpine para llamar la atención sobre la singular firma de la marca.

Un spoiler transparente de alta tecnología
El alerón de este concept car es completamente transparente, lo que lo borra y el propósito al que sirve. Además de ser muy ligero, juega un papel esencial: a medida que se mueve, reduce la resistencia y aumenta la carga aerodinámica.

Formas generosas y superficies opuestas.
Diseñado en torno a componentes técnicos y aerodinámicos, este prototipo encarna una filosofía única en su tipo, donde la forma se deriva de la función. Su silueta se formó alrededor de dos tanques de hidrógeno, que envuelven el cuerpo y señalan el poder absoluto de Alpenglow.

La forma del concept car Alpenglow optimiza el flujo de aire y, por lo tanto, aumenta el rendimiento aerodinámico. Las superficies en movimiento, esculpidas por el aire, van de lo positivo a lo negativo, en forma de giro. El frente con la distintiva forma de V es el punto de partida de la línea roja. En el lateral, otra línea que también aporta carácter forma una entrada de aire y crea un túnel aerodinámico. Este concept car está diseñado para competir: las alas extremadamente largas y delgadas son un guiño al A220 de resistencia de finales de la década de 1960, que alcanzó las alturas máximas de la aerodinámica. Los dos tanques realzan los costados con contornos generosos y sensuales que se combinan a la perfección con el diseño cincelado de Alpenglow.

Este concept car mide más de 5 metros de largo, más de 2 metros de ancho y menos de 1 metro de alto: las proporciones de un automóvil de ensueño. Es extremadamente ágil y sus formas esculpidas encapsulan el futuro lenguaje de diseño de Alpine.

Un concepto en torno a los materiales que desencadena sensaciones
Alpenglow hace su magia cuando te acercas a él. La elección de colores y materiales se inspiró en elementos y estados naturales, como el fuego, el agua, el hielo, el viento y el vapor. Todos esos elementos se mueven, evolucionan, cambian cuando estás en contacto con ellos. Añaden movimiento y vida a Alpenglow. Las áreas opacas se vuelven transparentes, lo que permite vislumbrar el funcionamiento interno. Las zonas rojas que representan el calor se contraponen con un azul penetrante que insinúa el clima frío de los Alpes. La magia se oculta, y los elementos aparecen y desaparecen, para desvelar este objeto detalle a detalle.

Un tono de azul nuevo y más sofisticado.
El nuevo tono de azul en la carrocería del prototipo Alpenglow proviene del icónico azul en movimiento de Alpine. Este azul es más brillante, más profundo y tiene un brillo nacarado muy fino que crea efectos líquidos, colores cambiantes y sombras como la superficie de un lago o un océano, y agrega un volumen fuerte y llamativo.

Carbono reciclado
Un Alpine es ligero por supuesto. Alpenglow no es una excepción, y está repleto de una gran cantidad de experiencia en ingeniería y diseño, lo que lo hace notablemente dinámico. Y, en aras del desarrollo sostenible, también se utilizó carbono reciclado en el diseño de este prototipo. Todo proviene de flujos de reciclaje.

materiales contrastantes
La contraposición simbólica entre el calor y el frío refleja los materiales contrastantes que se suman al equilibrio del prototipo Alpenglow. En el interior, el conductor encuentra una cabina envolvente y un entorno inspirado en las carreras. Las muchas superficies transparentes revelan la tecnología que impulsa este vehículo. Los componentes negros como la suspensión y la columna de dirección llaman la atención.

Transparencia ampliada
Los pedales, las levas en el volante, los triángulos que albergan el hidrógeno, el alerón y parte del capó del motor son transparentes, revelando un universo de ultra alta tecnología que hasta ahora estaba fuera de la vista de los entusiastas.

Banderas y logotipos finos y orgullosos
Alpenglow es un concept car que se enorgullece de sus orígenes. La bandera azul, blanca y roja en el exterior y el interior es una declaración sobre dónde se construyó y un guiño a la excelencia y experiencia automovilística francesa. La firma Alpine también está integrada en los capós delantero y trasero, lo que también subraya el orgullo que exudan los autos deportivos Alpine.

GARAJE DE SUEÑO: APUNTAR ALTO Y TOMAR UNA POSICIÓN
Alpenglow es la fuente del diseño y la tecnología para los futuros modelos de pista de carreras y de producción de Alpine. El núcleo del concepto es la pasión por los deportes de motor y el incomparable placer de conducir un Alpine.

El diseño y las tecnologías que inspiran el Dream Garage…
Sobre la base de su herencia, pero al mismo tiempo firmemente enfocada en el futuro, la marca Alpine está a la vanguardia de la innovación en el ámbito de los deportes de motor con la Fórmula 1 y en las carreteras. Su próxima generación de modelos, su Dream Garage, comprenderá tres modelos totalmente eléctricos exclusivos y pioneros: un automóvil deportivo compacto (segmento B), un crossover GT (segmento C) y un reemplazo A110. La experiencia de conducción en todos ellos gira en torno al conductor, las sensaciones de conducción y el puro placer.

La firma luminosa de Alpenglow es uno de los sellos de diseño que inspirarán los modelos de la marca, tanto en la parte delantera como en la trasera.

Los autos Alpine también vendrán con un volante intuitivo de auto deportivo inspirado en Alpenglow. Las características ergonómicas serán exclusivas de los modelos Alpine.

El carbono, incluido el carbono reciclado, también se integrará en los próximos automóviles para que sean tan livianos como todos los Alpine anteriores.

Las formas generosas y cinceladas insinúan las siluetas de los futuros modelos Alpine. La fuerza y ​​el carácter poderoso se reconocerán instantáneamente en cada modelo, al igual que los copos de nieve, los sellos distintivos que hacen que cada Alpine sea único en su clase.

… y coches de carreras
Es inimaginable hablar de un automóvil Alpine sin mencionar el espíritu de competencia y las hazañas de Alpine en las pistas. Alpenglow es la encarnación de un coche de carreras. Su forma te invita a probarlo en cada curva de un circuito. Su construcción monoplaza se suma a la sensación de Fórmula 1 en el interior, su silueta exterior apunta a las carreras de resistencia. El parabrisas en forma de casco es una vista asombrosa para todos los entusiastas que anhelan embarcarse en esta aventura. El motor en la parte trasera y la forma aerodinámica del modelo son las máximas expresiones de su alma deportiva. La forma, los faros y el espíritu del futuro hipercoche Alpine de categoría LMDh se basarán en la personalidad espectacular de Alpenglow.

ALPENGLOW A LA VANGUARDIA DE LA INNOVACIÓN
Alpenglow es un escaparate de un futuro con emisiones limpias que está al alcance de los coches de carreras del mañana y de las futuras generaciones de vehículos Alpine. La emoción de conducir el automóvil se ve reforzada por la tecnología pionera en torno al motor de combustión interna de hidrógeno, que produce los sonidos que aman los entusiastas de los autos deportivos.

El hidrógeno como solución sostenible para una movilidad limpia
Alpenglow es el primer paso de Alpine en el camino hacia soluciones sostenibles para una movilidad limpia. La movilidad combinará sistemas neutros en carbono, aprovechando la complementariedad natural entre los vehículos que funcionan con una batería eléctrica (BEV), los vehículos que funcionan con una celda de combustible (FCEV) y los vehículos con motores híbridos de combustión interna que utilizan un combustible sostenible, posiblemente hidrógeno verde.

Es por eso que Alpine está investigando una tecnología que podría prefigurar los autos de carreras y de calle de la marca. Un motor de combustión interna de hidrógeno híbrido es respetuoso con el medio ambiente y viene con el inimitable placer de conducir que proporciona esta tecnología, incluida la pura potencia, la ingravidez y el cautivador paisaje sonoro.

La combinación de la tecnología del hidrógeno con la experiencia técnica perfeccionada en el calor de las competiciones de deportes de motor dará a los vehículos del futuro el tipo de rendimiento que solo pueden alcanzar los coches de carreras, sin producir prácticamente nada más que vapor y rugidos de motores fascinantes.

Con sus dos tanques de hidrógeno cilíndricos a 700 bar, Alpenglow es tan liviano como el resto de los autos de la marca y brinda a los conductores la mejor experiencia y emisiones limpias.

Un ecosistema alrededor del hidrógeno
Para desarrollar esta tecnología, Alpine está aprovechando la experiencia de las entidades del Grupo Renault que han construido un ecosistema completo que gira en torno al hidrógeno, que incluye a HYVIA. Junto con el Gran Premio de Fórmula 1 en Francia en julio pasado, el equipo BWT Alpine F1 y HYVIA anunciaron planes para asociarse para invertir juntos en tecnologías de punta y la transición a la movilidad sostenible.

ACERCA DE ALPINE
Fundada en 1955 por Jean Rédélé, Alpine se ha labrado un nombre como fabricante de autos deportivos franceses. En 2018, Alpine presentó el nuevo A110, un automóvil deportivo que mostró los principios atemporales de la marca de ser compacto, liviano, ágil y placentero de conducir. En 2021 se crea la Unidad de Negocio Alpine. Se convirtió en la marca del Grupo Renault para autos deportivos innovadores, genuinos y exclusivos, beneficiándose de la herencia y el conocimiento de larga data de su histórica planta de Dieppe, así como de la experiencia en ingeniería de los equipos de Alpine Racing y Alpine Cars.

ALPINE’S FUTURE STARTS WITH ALPENGLOW

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Alpine’s mesmerising future. Alpenglow is a glimpse into Alpine’s roadgoing and racetrack models of tomorrow. Alpenglow is also more than a concept car: it is a brand manifesto, the treatise enshrining its vision and development roadmap, a tangible symbol of the Renaulution plan, paving the way for the upcoming Dream Garage models. It’s a vehicle that encapsulates Alpine’s strategy as a manufacturer of road cars, a name in motor sports and a brand that embraces its social responsibility.

Alpenglow conveys emotions, creativity and elegance, and is opening the door to automotive and motor sports excellence with new sustainable approaches including hydrogen power. This concept is the starting point for all future Alpine car designs, technologies and breakthroughs, all the while remaining true to the brand’s history. All the genuine emotions that come with driving an Alpine are still there, on roads and tracks. Get behind the wheel of the Alpine cars of the future.

ALPINE’S FUTURE STARTS WITH ALPENGLOW
This is what motor sports needs to look like tomorrow: as sensational as ever – and ever cleaner. Alpenglow represents Alpine’s reboot. It is ushering in a new age revolving around a solid commitment to entrenching sustainable development in the motor-sports landscape. Its design captures the spirit of competition that has inspired it since 1955. The power it radiates when it darts by is comet-like; the effect is awe-inspiring, titillating and verging on the artistic. This is the Alpine brand’s overarching goal: sustainable sportiness, combining clean emissions (including hydrogen) in roadgoing and racing line-ups with a design where the driver can fuse with the cockpit. The future starts here!

An alchemy of natural elements
The alchemy between Alpine and the longing for a cleaner future is undeniable. Alpenglow stands for a future where racing cars as well as the upcoming generations of Alpine products release clean emissions. “Green” hydrogen is one of the solutions that the brand is considering for sustainable mobility. A hydrogen-powered engine releases practically nothing but steam during combustion. Water, in other words, is central in Alpenglow’s design. It underlines its purity and its power.

The colours and materials are also evocative of what the Alpine cars of the future will look like: emotion and technology intertwining to treat drivers to a one-of-a-kind, real experience. Natural elements and states – such as fire, water, ice, wind and steam – inspire this object’s impressive, generous shapes, its flowing, streamlined body, and the all-round feeling of purity. It is designed as an agile and elegant car that is just as comfortable on roads as it is on tracks.

Motor-sports competition, which steeps the brand’s history, was the compass throughout Alpenglow’s creation. Its bodyshell resembles a wingsuit, pointing to the most extreme of mountain sports. Two triangles interlock, forming a singular shape to spark extraordinary sensations.

An avant-garde name announcing the morrow
Alpenglow is a perfect name. The reddish glow over the mountains just before sunrise is a symbol for this concept car: it is a magnificent moment, the dawn of revolutionary technologies and shapes, and the brand is lifting the veil on the next phase, which will usher in the Alpine cars of the future.

INSPIRING DESIGN, COMBINING EMOTIONS AND SUSTAINABLE SPORTINESS
In this single-seater, the driver sits on the centre line, between two hydrogen tanks, and becomes one with the cockpit. This is the idea at the core of the Alpenglow concept car, which captures the very essence of driving, the emotion that sitting in a futuristic Alpine sparks, a full immersion in unspoilt, technical and technological features.

The inside and outside in symbiosis
This concept car’s interior and exterior meld. The bodyshell is light and seems to float, enveloping the driver who fuses with their material surroundings. The driver’s silhouette leaves a mark in the cockpit, a bit like someone who falls back into the slow to leave their print. The two “pontoon” waterdrop-shaped tanks on either side of the cockpit add the feeling of being at one with the machinery and at the same time optimise driving comfort. The car becomes a source of pleasure and a vessel for physical engagement. The vehicle triggers emotions and bewitches the driver in ways they will never forget. This driving experience will be developed inside future Alpine models.

A competition-inspired cockpit
A sports car inspired by motor sports races, plus a singular, sophisticated silhouette: that is Alpine’s promise. The Alpenglow concept car’s cockpit is transparent, has a blueish hint and is helmet-shaped. You can make out the driver through it, but it merges into the car’s body.

An Alpine driving wheel
The Alpenglow concept car’s geometric steering wheel is inspired by LMP1 (Endurance) racing cars. It treats the driver to a sporty, high-performance driving experience. The Alpine identity shines through the snowflakes embedded in a central prism, with the logo in the background, which calls to mind the Alpine, mountainous universe that defines this creative, mysterious object. The paddle gear shifters are transparent and backlit, adding to the weightlessness in the lean interior, where only the experience matters. The base of the steering wheel also houses two selectors for the various built-in functions, which mirror the ones in Formula 1 and LMP1 cars. In the concept car, they control several features including Track Control and Regenerative Braking. The steering wheel also has an Overtake button unleashing a power boost. The driver has a prism-shaped ignition key that slots into the steering wheel. It completes the pyramid in the centre, which lights up as the car springs to life.

A red centre line
A red line cuts across the car lengthways. It underlines the driver’s position, at one with the car, in a central, exclusive place that connects them to the road and their surroundings.

Alpine’s new signature lights
Alpenglow’s signature lights have evolved and adopted a new look. They match with the ones on Alpine cars today, stand out on the strength of their up-to-the-minute style and might, and at the same time remain true to the brand’s identity. They are ushering in a new chapter in Alpine’s history, where passion for speed and performance are more alive than ever. The light stream starts at the front, where it is red, symbolising a comet entering the atmosphere, and works its way back, where it turns various shades of blue pointing to its hydrogen internal-combustion engine, which releases practically nothing but steam. Also at the front, triangles of light form a sprinkling of stars rising from the four headlamps, mirroring Alpine’s emblematic signature. Overall, they create an all-round impression of movement across the car’s body. The blueish lights at the rear point to the use of hydrogen. They are open, look stunning and serve a purpose, venting the steam from the hydrogen’s combustion. In contact with the air, a blue stream emerges from the clean exhaust pipes, giving the Alpenglow concept car a sporty and at the same time magical aura.

Rims that radiate Alpine’s identity
The snowflake-shaped rims on the wheels have a transparent structure and also capture something about Alpine’s identity. They transport us to the mountains. The triangle built into the centre of the wheels underscores this impression. Like the triangles in the steering wheel, the ones on the wheels contain hydrogen and have a built-in window into the Alpine logo, to attract attention to the brand’s singular signature.

A transparent, high-tech spoiler
This concept car’s spoiler is completely transparent, which effaces it and the purpose it serves. Besides being very light, it plays an essential role: as it moves, it reduces drag and increases downforce.

Generous shapes and opposing surfaces
Designed around technical and aerodynamic components, this concept cars embodies a one-of-a-kind philosophy, where form derives from function. Its silhouette was shaped around two hydrogen tanks, which envelop the body and point to Alpenglow’s sheer might.

The Alpenglow concept car’s shape optimises air flow and thereby increases aerodynamic performance. The moving surfaces, sculpted by the air, range from positive to negative, in the form of a twist. The front with the distinctive V-shape is the starting point for the red line. On the side, another line also adding character forms an air inlet and creates an aerodynamic tunnel. This concept car is cast for competition: the extremely long and slender wings are a nod to the endurance A220 from the late 1960s, which reached the ultimate heights of aerodynamics. The two tanks enhance the sides with generous, sensual contours that blend seamlessly into Alpenglow’s chiselled design.

This concept car is more than 5 metres long, over 2 metres wide and less than 1 metre high – a dream car’s proportions. It is exceedingly agile and its sculpted shapes encapsulate Alpine’s future design language.

A concept around materials that triggers sensations
Alpenglow works its magic when you approach it. The choice of colours and materials was inspired by natural elements and states, such as fire, water, ice, wind and steam. All those elements move, evolve, change when you are in contact with them. They add movement and life to Alpenglow. The opaque areas become transparent, providing a glimpse of the inner workings. The red zones representing heat are counterpointed by penetrating blue hinting at the cold weather in the Alps. The magic is hidden, and the elements appear and disappear, to unveil this object one detail at a time.

A new and more sophisticated shade of blue
The new shade of blue on the Alpenglow concept car’s body stems from Alpine’s iconic blue in motion. This blue is brighter, deeper and has a very fine pearly sheen that creates liquid effects, changing colours and shadows like the surface of a lake or ocean, and adds striking, hefty volume.

Recycled carbon
An Alpine is lightweight as a matter of course. Alpenglow is no exception – and is packed with a wealth of engineering and design expertise, making it remarkably buoyant. And, in the interest of sustainable development, recycled carbon was also used in this concept car’s design. It is all sourced from recycling streams.

Contrasting materials
The symbolic contraposition between hot and cold mirrors the contrasting materials that add up to the Alpenglow concept car’s balance. Inside, the driver finds a wraparound cockpit and a racing-inspired environment. The many transparent surfaces reveal the technology that powers this vehicle. The black components such as the suspension and steering column catch the eye.

Magnified transparency
The pedals, paddles on the steering wheel, triangles housing hydrogen, spoiler and part of the engine bonnet are transparent, revealing an ultra-high-tech universe that was out of sight for enthusiasts until now.

Fine and proud flags and logos
Alpenglow is a concept car that is proud of its origins. The blue, white and red flag on the outside and inside is a statement about whereit was built and a nod at French automotive excellence and expertise. The Alpine signature is also built into the front and rear bonnets, also underlining the pride that Alpine sports cars exude.

DREAM GARAGE: AIMING HIGH AND TAKING A STAND
Alpenglow is the source of the design and technology for the future Alpine racetrack and production models. The core of the concept is passion for motor sports and the unparalleled pleasure of driving an Alpine.

The design and technologies that inspire the Dream Garage…
Building on its heritage but at the same time firmly focused on the future, the Alpine brand is at the cutting edge of innovation in the motor sports arena with Formula 1 and on roads. Its next generation of models – its Dream Garage – will comprise three exclusive and trailblazing all-electric models: a compact sports car (B segment), a GT crossover (C segment) and a A110 replacement. The driving experience in them all revolves around the driver, driving sensations and sheer pleasure.

Alpenglow’s light signature is one of the design hallmarks that will inspire the brand’s models – at the front as well as the rear.

Alpine cars will also come with an intuitive sports car steering wheel inspired by Alpenglow. The ergonomic features will be exclusive to Alpine models.

Carbon, including recycled carbon, will also be built into the upcoming cars so that they are as proudly lightweight as every Alpine before them.

The generous, chiselled shapes hint at future Alpine models’ silhouettes. The might and powerful character will be instantly recognisable in every model – as will be the snowflakes, the distinctive hallmarks that make each Alpine one of a kind.

… and racing cars
It’s unimaginable to speak about an Alpine car without touching on the spirit of competition and Alpine’s feats on tracks. Alpenglow is the embodiment of a racing car. Its shape beckons you to try it on every bend in a circuit. Its single-seater build adds to the Formula 1 feel inside, its outer silhouette points to endurance racing. The helmet-shaped windscreen is a staggering sight for every enthusiast longing to embark on this adventure. The engine at the rear and the model’s aerodynamic shape are the ultimate expressions of its motor sports soul. The future LMDh-category Alpine hypercar’s shape, headlamps and spirit will draw on Alpenglow’s spectacular personality.

ALPENGLOW AT THE CUTTING EDGE OF INNOVATION
Alpenglow is a showcase for a clean emissions future that is within reach for tomorrow’s racing cars and future Alpine vehicle generations. The excitement of driving the car is heightened by the trailblazing technology around the hydrogen internal-combustion engine, which produces the sounds that sports car enthusiasts love.

Hydrogen as a sustainable solution for clean mobility
Alpenglow is Alpine’s first step on the path to sustainable solutions for clean mobility. Mobility will combine carbon-neutral systems, tapping into the natural complementarity between vehicles running on an electric battery (BEVs), vehicles running on a fuel cell (FCEVs) and vehicles with hybrid internal-combustion engines using a sustainable fuel – possibly green hydrogen.

This is why Alpine is looking into a technology that could prefigure the brand’s racing and roadgoing cars. A hybrid hydrogen internal-combustion engine is environmentally-friendly and comes with the inimitable driving pleasure that this technology provides, including the sheer might, weightlessness and enthralling soundscape.

Combining hydrogen technology with technical expertise honed in the heat of motor sports competitions will give future vehicles the kind of performance that only racing cars can reach – while producing practically nothing besides steam and riveting engine roars.

With its two cylindrical hydrogen tanks at 700 bar, Alpenglow is as lightweight as the rest of the brand’s cars, and treats drivers to the ultimate experience as well as clean emissions.

An ecosystem around hydrogen
To develop this technology, Alpine is leveraging expertise from the Renault Group entities that have built a full ecosystem revolving around hydrogen, which includes HYVIA. Alongside the Formula 1 Grand Prix in France last July, the BWT Alpine F1 Team and HYVIA announced plans to enter into a partnership to invest together in state-of-the-art technologies and the transition to sustainable mobility.

ALPINE’S FUTURE STARTS WITH ALPENGLOW

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Alpine’s mesmerising future. Alpenglow is a glimpse into Alpine’s roadgoing and racetrack models of tomorrow. Alpenglow is also more than a concept car: it is a brand manifesto, the treatise enshrining its vision and development roadmap, a tangible symbol of the Renaulution plan, paving the way for the upcoming Dream Garage models. It’s a vehicle that encapsulates Alpine’s strategy as a manufacturer of road cars, a name in motor sports and a brand that embraces its social responsibility.

Alpenglow conveys emotions, creativity and elegance, and is opening the door to automotive and motor sports excellence with new sustainable approaches including hydrogen power. This concept is the starting point for all future Alpine car designs, technologies and breakthroughs, all the while remaining true to the brand’s history. All the genuine emotions that come with driving an Alpine are still there, on roads and tracks. Get behind the wheel of the Alpine cars of the future.

ALPINE’S FUTURE STARTS WITH ALPENGLOW
This is what motor sports needs to look like tomorrow: as sensational as ever – and ever cleaner. Alpenglow represents Alpine’s reboot. It is ushering in a new age revolving around a solid commitment to entrenching sustainable development in the motor-sports landscape. Its design captures the spirit of competition that has inspired it since 1955. The power it radiates when it darts by is comet-like; the effect is awe-inspiring, titillating and verging on the artistic. This is the Alpine brand’s overarching goal: sustainable sportiness, combining clean emissions (including hydrogen) in roadgoing and racing line-ups with a design where the driver can fuse with the cockpit. The future starts here!

An alchemy of natural elements
The alchemy between Alpine and the longing for a cleaner future is undeniable. Alpenglow stands for a future where racing cars as well as the upcoming generations of Alpine products release clean emissions. “Green” hydrogen is one of the solutions that the brand is considering for sustainable mobility. A hydrogen-powered engine releases practically nothing but steam during combustion. Water, in other words, is central in Alpenglow’s design. It underlines its purity and its power.

The colours and materials are also evocative of what the Alpine cars of the future will look like: emotion and technology intertwining to treat drivers to a one-of-a-kind, real experience. Natural elements and states – such as fire, water, ice, wind and steam – inspire this object’s impressive, generous shapes, its flowing, streamlined body, and the all-round feeling of purity. It is designed as an agile and elegant car that is just as comfortable on roads as it is on tracks.

Motor-sports competition, which steeps the brand’s history, was the compass throughout Alpenglow’s creation. Its bodyshell resembles a wingsuit, pointing to the most extreme of mountain sports. Two triangles interlock, forming a singular shape to spark extraordinary sensations.

An avant-garde name announcing the morrow
Alpenglow is a perfect name. The reddish glow over the mountains just before sunrise is a symbol for this concept car: it is a magnificent moment, the dawn of revolutionary technologies and shapes, and the brand is lifting the veil on the next phase, which will usher in the Alpine cars of the future.

INSPIRING DESIGN, COMBINING EMOTIONS AND SUSTAINABLE SPORTINESS
In this single-seater, the driver sits on the centre line, between two hydrogen tanks, and becomes one with the cockpit. This is the idea at the core of the Alpenglow concept car, which captures the very essence of driving, the emotion that sitting in a futuristic Alpine sparks, a full immersion in unspoilt, technical and technological features.

The inside and outside in symbiosis
This concept car’s interior and exterior meld. The bodyshell is light and seems to float, enveloping the driver who fuses with their material surroundings. The driver’s silhouette leaves a mark in the cockpit, a bit like someone who falls back into the slow to leave their print. The two “pontoon” waterdrop-shaped tanks on either side of the cockpit add the feeling of being at one with the machinery and at the same time optimise driving comfort. The car becomes a source of pleasure and a vessel for physical engagement. The vehicle triggers emotions and bewitches the driver in ways they will never forget. This driving experience will be developed inside future Alpine models.

A competition-inspired cockpit
A sports car inspired by motor sports races, plus a singular, sophisticated silhouette: that is Alpine’s promise. The Alpenglow concept car’s cockpit is transparent, has a blueish hint and is helmet-shaped. You can make out the driver through it, but it merges into the car’s body.

An Alpine driving wheel
The Alpenglow concept car’s geometric steering wheel is inspired by LMP1 (Endurance) racing cars. It treats the driver to a sporty, high-performance driving experience. The Alpine identity shines through the snowflakes embedded in a central prism, with the logo in the background, which calls to mind the Alpine, mountainous universe that defines this creative, mysterious object. The paddle gear shifters are transparent and backlit, adding to the weightlessness in the lean interior, where only the experience matters. The base of the steering wheel also houses two selectors for the various built-in functions, which mirror the ones in Formula 1 and LMP1 cars. In the concept car, they control several features including Track Control and Regenerative Braking. The steering wheel also has an Overtake button unleashing a power boost. The driver has a prism-shaped ignition key that slots into the steering wheel. It completes the pyramid in the centre, which lights up as the car springs to life.

A red centre line
A red line cuts across the car lengthways. It underlines the driver’s position, at one with the car, in a central, exclusive place that connects them to the road and their surroundings.

Alpine’s new signature lights
Alpenglow’s signature lights have evolved and adopted a new look. They match with the ones on Alpine cars today, stand out on the strength of their up-to-the-minute style and might, and at the same time remain true to the brand’s identity. They are ushering in a new chapter in Alpine’s history, where passion for speed and performance are more alive than ever. The light stream starts at the front, where it is red, symbolising a comet entering the atmosphere, and works its way back, where it turns various shades of blue pointing to its hydrogen internal-combustion engine, which releases practically nothing but steam. Also at the front, triangles of light form a sprinkling of stars rising from the four headlamps, mirroring Alpine’s emblematic signature. Overall, they create an all-round impression of movement across the car’s body. The blueish lights at the rear point to the use of hydrogen. They are open, look stunning and serve a purpose, venting the steam from the hydrogen’s combustion. In contact with the air, a blue stream emerges from the clean exhaust pipes, giving the Alpenglow concept car a sporty and at the same time magical aura.

Rims that radiate Alpine’s identity
The snowflake-shaped rims on the wheels have a transparent structure and also capture something about Alpine’s identity. They transport us to the mountains. The triangle built into the centre of the wheels underscores this impression. Like the triangles in the steering wheel, the ones on the wheels contain hydrogen and have a built-in window into the Alpine logo, to attract attention to the brand’s singular signature.

A transparent, high-tech spoiler
This concept car’s spoiler is completely transparent, which effaces it and the purpose it serves. Besides being very light, it plays an essential role: as it moves, it reduces drag and increases downforce.

Generous shapes and opposing surfaces
Designed around technical and aerodynamic components, this concept cars embodies a one-of-a-kind philosophy, where form derives from function. Its silhouette was shaped around two hydrogen tanks, which envelop the body and point to Alpenglow’s sheer might.

The Alpenglow concept car’s shape optimises air flow and thereby increases aerodynamic performance. The moving surfaces, sculpted by the air, range from positive to negative, in the form of a twist. The front with the distinctive V-shape is the starting point for the red line. On the side, another line also adding character forms an air inlet and creates an aerodynamic tunnel. This concept car is cast for competition: the extremely long and slender wings are a nod to the endurance A220 from the late 1960s, which reached the ultimate heights of aerodynamics. The two tanks enhance the sides with generous, sensual contours that blend seamlessly into Alpenglow’s chiselled design.

This concept car is more than 5 metres long, over 2 metres wide and less than 1 metre high – a dream car’s proportions. It is exceedingly agile and its sculpted shapes encapsulate Alpine’s future design language.

A concept around materials that triggers sensations
Alpenglow works its magic when you approach it. The choice of colours and materials was inspired by natural elements and states, such as fire, water, ice, wind and steam. All those elements move, evolve, change when you are in contact with them. They add movement and life to Alpenglow. The opaque areas become transparent, providing a glimpse of the inner workings. The red zones representing heat are counterpointed by penetrating blue hinting at the cold weather in the Alps. The magic is hidden, and the elements appear and disappear, to unveil this object one detail at a time.

A new and more sophisticated shade of blue
The new shade of blue on the Alpenglow concept car’s body stems from Alpine’s iconic blue in motion. This blue is brighter, deeper and has a very fine pearly sheen that creates liquid effects, changing colours and shadows like the surface of a lake or ocean, and adds striking, hefty volume.

Recycled carbon
An Alpine is lightweight as a matter of course. Alpenglow is no exception – and is packed with a wealth of engineering and design expertise, making it remarkably buoyant. And, in the interest of sustainable development, recycled carbon was also used in this concept car’s design. It is all sourced from recycling streams.

Contrasting materials
The symbolic contraposition between hot and cold mirrors the contrasting materials that add up to the Alpenglow concept car’s balance. Inside, the driver finds a wraparound cockpit and a racing-inspired environment. The many transparent surfaces reveal the technology that powers this vehicle. The black components such as the suspension and steering column catch the eye.

Magnified transparency
The pedals, paddles on the steering wheel, triangles housing hydrogen, spoiler and part of the engine bonnet are transparent, revealing an ultra-high-tech universe that was out of sight for enthusiasts until now.

Fine and proud flags and logos
Alpenglow is a concept car that is proud of its origins.

Puritalia Automobili

El nombre Berlinetta es un término tradicional italiano que se refiere a los autos deportivos clásicos, específicamente el lujo es armonioso y equilibrado, nunca extremo.

 El motor delantero y el capó alargado recuerdan las proporciones de los superdeportivos perdidos en el pasado; sentarse más atrás en el automóvil brinda una sensación y una experiencia únicas que ahora han sido abandonadas por los superdeportivos modernos. Es un “Gran Turismo” de lujo que no grita su desempeño al mundo, sino que lo esconde, casi engañosamente, detrás de la belleza de sus formas. Es un término que significa un automóvil a la altura de la técnica y el rendimiento automotriz, pero con un estilo que recuerda a los grandes coupés y automóviles personalizados de la Edad de Oro de Italia.

Chasis

El chasis híbrido de Carbono-Aluminio ha sido diseñado para garantizar ligereza y resistencia, además de destacar por su estilo.

La cuba central está hecha de fibra de carbono preimpregnada y curada en autoclave a 180 grados – ofrece la máxima rigidez a la torsión y la belleza de un objeto perfectamente integrado con el estilo interior, ya que permanece completamente visible en el interior del automóvil. Los bastidores auxiliares delantero y trasero están hechos de aluminio aeronáutico con placas de suspensión completamente mecanizadas por CNC a partir de palanquillas sólidas.

Cada una de las 4 placas de suspensión se fabrica a partir de un solo bloque de 120 kg de este aluminio, pero al final solo pesa unos 10 kg, un esfuerzo enorme cuyo resultado final permite que todos los componentes de la suspensión, incluidos los brazos de control y los amortiguadores, se conecten en un solo bloque. pieza única de ingeniería sin ningún tipo de juntas, conexiones o soldaduras. Esto proporciona no solo una rigidez y resistencia extremas, sino lo más importante, una precisión centesimal en la posición de los componentes de la suspensión y, por lo tanto, en la geometría y la cinemática de la suspensión. El chasis completo, incluidos todos los soportes estructurales para radiadores, motor, transmisión y el motor eléctrico, pesa solo 150 kg.

tren motriz

MOTOR DE COMBUSTIÓN INTERNA

El motor de combustión es un moderno V8 5.0L de 32 válvulas con doble árbol de levas en cabeza (DOHC) y doble sincronización variable independiente (Ti-VCT). Para garantizar una distribución óptima del peso y un centro de gravedad más bajo, el motor se coloca completamente detrás del eje de oruga delantero en una posición bastante baja, gracias a la lubricación por cárter seco. El motor está sobrealimentado por un compresor de doble tornillo de 2,9 L que ofrece un aumento progresivo del par, incluso a bajas revoluciones, a una presión constante de 11 PSI. El compresor está equipado con un intercooler líquido con 2 radiadores ubicados en las tomas de aire laterales del parachoques delantero. Solo el motor de combustión entrega 750 caballos de fuerza a 7.000 rpm y 878 Nm de torque a 4.400 rpm. El montaje final de los componentes internos del motor se realiza meticulosamente, a mano, en Italia.

MOTOR ELÉCTRICO

El avanzado motor eléctrico de flujo axial es suministrado por Yasa y produce hasta 370 Nm de par y 215 CV de potencia máxima con un peso de poco más de 25 kg. El motor fue integrado por Puritalia directamente en el diferencial trasero, gracias a su diámetro extremadamente compacto de 305 mm y profundidad axial de 106 mm. En esta configuración, el par entregado por el motor eléctrico pasa por alto la relación de transmisión de la caja de cambios y actúa directamente sobre las ruedas traseras solo a través de la relación final. Esta configuración es óptima para trasladar el enorme par que proporciona el motor eléctrico a las ruedas, que siempre está disponible al máximo de 0 a 7.000 rpm. El mando del motor eléctrico actúa junto al mando del cambio automático AMT, aumentando el empuje durante la apertura del embrague necesario para el cambio de marchas. Esto da como resultado una aceleración continua, incluso durante los cambios de marcha. Los ingenieros de Puritalia también incorporaron un embrague administrado electrónicamente que desconecta el motor eléctrico del diferencial en condiciones de uso específicas para evitar que se arrastre cuando no es necesario. Para garantizar el rendimiento del motor eléctrico incluso durante los períodos de uso más intenso, la temperatura del motor es monitoreada y gestionada constantemente por un sistema de refrigeración que proporciona un caudal de hasta 20 litros/hora de aceite dieléctrico.

PAQUETE DE BATERÍAS

Puritalia Berlinetta cuenta con dos paquetes de baterías de litio-hierro-fosfato (LiFePO), íntegramente diseñadas y construidas por Puritalia, que garantizan una capacidad total de 5,2 kWh; el paquete de baterías principal está ubicado debajo del área del maletero mientras que el secundario está en el área detrás de los asientos, en una posición baja para el centro de gravedad del automóvil. Los dos paquetes de baterías de 700 V se gestionan dinámicamente en paralelo; se utilizan individualmente en condiciones normales y en combinación (para elevar la corriente hasta 230A) cuando la función Puritalia eMozione© está activada, para proporcionar la máxima potencia y par. Una carga completa de los paquetes de baterías requiere poco más de 3 horas a través de una toma de corriente y el cargador especial suministrado con el automóvil. Las baterías también pueden cargarse durante el frenado y la conducción por inercia a través de una función especial que puede ser activada por el conductor.

ENFRIAMIENTO

Se prestó mucha atención al estudio de la difusión del calor y resultó en el diseño de los sistemas de refrigeración apropiados, porque, contrariamente a lo que podría pensarse, los componentes eléctricos del sistema de propulsión híbrido generan tanto calor como un motor de combustión. La entrada de aire en el capó aprovecha la depresión del aire para facilitar la expulsión del calor del compartimiento del motor. El enfriamiento del tren motriz se lleva a cabo mediante 10 radiadores ubicados cerca de las tomas de aire en los parachoques delantero y trasero y la parte inferior plana del automóvil. Estos radiadores proporcionan el enfriamiento del motor de combustión, el intercooler, la transmisión, el diferencial, el motor eléctrico, el inversor de CA y los paquetes de baterías.

Transmisión

La transmisión es de 7 velocidades con robotización electrohidráulica AMT con mandos en el volante. Para un equilibrio óptimo de los pesos, la caja de cambios se coloca en la parte trasera del coche y se conecta al motor mediante un tubo de torsión de fibra de carbono que alberga el eje de transmisión de fibra de carbono ligero. El tubo de torsión de 210 mm de diámetro también actúa como elemento estructural, lo que ayuda a aumentar sustancialmente la rigidez torsional del chasis. El sistema AMT fue desarrollado por Puritalia en colaboración con una empresa italiana líder en el sector y permite un cambio de marcha en unos 150 milisegundos, par a par. Al mismo tiempo, el motor eléctrico continúa empujando su par hacia las ruedas traseras para un cambio virtual de “retraso cero”. El embrague de 3 discos AP racing, controlado directamente por los actuadores electrohidráulicos AMT, está fabricado con material de fricción hecho a medida que se ha formulado específicamente para las especificaciones de par de la Berlinetta y sus propósitos de uso en carretera, lo que garantiza una modulación suave y un acoplamiento firme incluso en maniobras de pie. El cambio de marchas se puede configurar en modo automático o manual; cuando está en modo manual, la caja de cambios se opera a través de las paletas de cambio ubicadas en el volante. El diferencial de deslizamiento limitado es operado electrónicamente (eLSD).

Experiencia de manejo

El Puritalia Berlinetta también es único en los modos de conducción que ofrece. Hay 4 modos de conducción, así como uno adicional llamado “Individual” que se puede personalizar ad hoc, según el estilo de conducción del propietario.

SUPERHIBRIDO

El SuperHybrid es el modo de conducción que ofrece el máximo placer de conducción, concebido como un equilibrio perfecto entre rendimiento y comodidad. En esta modalidad, el automóvil está conectado al sistema basado en la nube Puritalia Purhydrive© para la gestión eficiente de la energía utilizada por el motor eléctrico, que es proporcionada dinámicamente por algoritmos de Inteligencia Artificial que se enfocan en el autoaprendizaje del estilo de conducción, los hábitos del conductor. y fuentes de datos en vivo en línea.

DEPORTE

En este modo -todavía híbrido- la conducción es más deportiva, gracias al progresivo endurecimiento de la suspensión y la dirección. El pedal del acelerador se vuelve más receptivo y el motor de combustión cambia a un mapa más potente. La caja de cambios robotizada se vuelve más agresiva y reduce al mínimo los tiempos de cambio. Todo esto es inequívocamente enfatizado por el sonido de las 4 puntas de escape que, a través de Puritalia Orchestra©, proporcionan una mayor apertura de las válvulas que regulan los tubos laterales activos.

LA RAZA

Aquí, todos los controles electrónicos están excluidos de la experiencia pura de la pista. El motor eléctrico proporciona su potencia máxima de forma continua. El motor de combustión enciende el mapa de carreras más potente y agresivo, y el sonido de escape proporcionado por el sistema Puritalia Orchestra@ se vuelve aún más audaz.

E-PODER

Y finalmente, diseñado para la entrada y salida de los centros urbanos, el Berlinetta puede viajar hasta 20 km en este modo exclusivamente eléctrico. Aunque aún no está disponible, E-Power estará con una actualización remota del software integrado en el futuro.

En todos los modos, con la excepción de E-Power, el conductor puede activar el interruptor Puritalia eMozione© que aumenta la corriente suministrada al motor eléctrico para un par adicional de 370 Nm (equivalente al par total de un Audi S3) para una continua período de 45 segundos. Y, para una experiencia de conducción aún más personal, el conductor puede ajustar manualmente todos los parámetros principales relacionados con los siguientes sistemas: ABS Control de tracción Dirección asistida eléctrica Suspensiones AMT Motor eléctrico Tubos laterales válvula Esto hace que se sienta muy parecido a un juego experiencia.

Tecnología

Puritalia Automobili significa pasión y entusiasmo por construir automóviles artesanales de diseño italiano, pero también es vocación de innovación y tecnología. Debajo, Puritalia Berlinetta tiene su propio corazón distintivo y tecnológico que está representado por los dos sistemas patentados de la compañía:

PURITALIA PURHYDRIVE

La tecnología Purhydrive© rediseña la forma en que los coches híbridos gestionan la distribución de la propulsión entre el motor de combustión y los motores eléctricos, cuando normalmente se gestionan de forma estática mediante algoritmos escritos dentro de las ECU del coche. Gracias a una conexión en línea con una plataforma de computación en la nube que brinda una enorme potencia de cómputo, el sistema Purhydrive© ofrece una gestión dinámica y personalizada, y el equilibrio del suministro de energía, a través del autoaprendizaje del estilo y los hábitos de los conductores. Las modernas tecnologías de software de Big Data y AI (Inteligencia Artificial), nos permiten prever y simular el camino de manera virtual, cruzando los datos con información externa como condiciones climáticas y datos de tráfico. La simulación de ruta virtual proporciona información valiosa por adelantado, como giros, tramos de ascenso y descenso, y puntos de aceleración y frenado. El sistema también incorpora información de los sensores embarcados, como vibraciones, estado del asfalto y baches para “autoaprender” y modificar dinámicamente el reglaje de la suspensión para la próxima pasada por la misma calle. El sistema Purhydrive©, un activo estratégico de Puritalia Automobili, está en constante desarrollo y mejora, por lo que también se prevé su futura extensión a otras aplicaciones comerciales, aquellas en las que la gestión eficiente y dinámica de dos o más fuentes de energía es especialmente importante.

PURITALIA DIGITAL-ADN©

Este es el sistema nervioso digital del automóvil que está diseñado completamente de acuerdo con un enfoque de “Silicon Valley”. Un kernel de software modular se distribuye en todas las funciones y controles, lo que permite el mantenimiento remoto durante todo el ciclo de vida del automóvil; no solo actualizaciones por errores o mal funcionamiento, sino también por el lanzamiento de nuevas funciones. A través de Digital-DNA©, el conductor puede configurar y controlar todo el automóvil a través de la pantalla táctil central y los controles de voz; una aplicación especial también otorga al propietario acceso remoto a todas las funciones del automóvil a través de su teléfono inteligente. La función de diagnóstico remoto y asistencia en línea incluso permite que los técnicos de Puritalia se conecten a cada automóvil para verificar errores, problemas o brindar asistencia al conductor según sea necesario.

Cuerpo

La carrocería del Berlinetta está fabricada íntegramente en fibra de carbono de última generación. Para conseguir su característica ligereza, Puritalia utiliza únicamente fibra de carbono preimpregnada que ha sido curada en autoclave con la presión a 8 bar y una temperatura de 180º. Para mejorar la rigidez y preservar las líneas de diseño durante el ensamblaje, el 60% de la carrocería se logra a través de solo dos componentes; cada uno está laminado como monocasco único y, por lo tanto, garantiza la continuidad de las fibras sin empalmes ni empalmes. El área frontal se denomina “Front Body” y el área central, “Upper Body”, y se combinan para un peso total de solo 27 kg. Estilísticamente, esta composición se refleja en la ausencia de los cortes tradicionales que separan el paragolpes delantero de los guardabarros laterales, y la ausencia de los que separan el techo con la zona del parabrisas, los montantes y la parte trasera. El proceso de acabado y pintura de los paneles de carbono incluye hasta 5 capas de pintura base, así como 5 capas de una transparencia (brillante u opaca), que depende del acabado y color deseado. Luego, hay un proceso de pulido final con 3 pasos totales de lijado de bloque de grano fino del cuerpo. Este es un proceso extremadamente práctico y laborioso, pero garantiza la perfección de las superficies y los reflejos en un nivel que nunca alcanzan los procesos de pintura automatizados que se utilizan para los automóviles OEM estándar. En total, el proceso de pintura y acabado de todos los componentes de fibra de carbono del coche requiere 800 horas de trabajo manual. La elección de colores y acabados es extremadamente personalizable, y Puritalia asegura que cada automóvil tendrá su propio esquema de color único y su propia fórmula de pintura, registrada para el propietario, por lo que no se puede replicar para ningún otro Berlinetta. Entre estas innumerables opciones, como parte del programa Puritalia Sartoria©, los clientes pueden optar por pintar toda la carrocería con fibra visible, una de las opciones más exclusivas disponibles que estará limitada a solo 10 automóviles.

Una vez que ingresas al Puritalia Berlinetta, inmediatamente sientes una atmósfera diferente. Está creado por materiales de la más alta calidad en los que la fibra de carbono, colocada en contraste con un acabado brillante y opaco, es sin duda el elemento predominante responsable de la sensación de calidad y exclusividad. La estética limpia se acentúa con elementos de aluminio, todos fabricados exclusivamente mediante mecanizado CNC a partir de palanquillas de aluminio macizo cepilladas y pulidas a mano, y con una ausencia casi total de botones y palancas mecánicos. Aquí, como en el resto del coche, no hay sitio para los plásticos. La celda central del marco de fibra de carbono se deja expuesta pero combina perfectamente con el estilo de los paneles interiores que completan el diseño, en lugar de cubrirlo con moqueta. Se puede acceder a todas las funciones del automóvil a través de la pantalla táctil central de 10 pulgadas cuya funcionalidad ha sido diseñada en conjunto con los dos joysticks colocados inmediatamente debajo en el túnel central. La función Puritalia QuickCommand© le permite operar cualquier comando (como ventanas, luces, aire acondicionado, cerraduras, etc.) con solo dos clics del joystick, sin apartar la vista de la carretera. El tablero es digital con una pantalla TFT de alta resolución de 12,3 pulgadas, y todas las interfaces HMI han sido desarrolladas internamente por el equipo gráfico de Puritalia utilizando los últimos efectos y animaciones 3D. Se ha prestado especial atención a la ergonomía del puesto de conducción ya la comodidad del conductor; a diferencia de otros superdeportivos de rendimiento similar, el asiento es de fácil acceso y siempre cómodo, incluso para personas más altas, con un espacio para las piernas comparable al de una berlina moderna. Por esta razón, en lugar de los asientos monocasco más ligeros, la Berlinetta está equipada con elegantes asientos deportivos suministrados por Sabelt, personalizados y tapizados en cuero NAPPA estrictamente italiano, y regulables eléctricamente.

Producción

La producción de Berlinetta está limitada a 150 coches. El precio comienza en 465.000 euros + IVA, según el país de entrega. Cada Berlinetta se construye según las especificaciones del cliente para garantizar que cada automóvil sea realmente único y se adhiera a la filosofía de la marca Puritalia, según la cual cada uno de sus automóviles: Debe construirse estrictamente a mano, en series limitadas; Debe personalizarse mucho para cada cliente; Debe ser construido en Italia, exclusivamente por expertos artesanos italianos; Debe tener una huella tecnológica distintiva que lo diferencie de otros autos; No es para todos, sino solo para los verdaderos conocedores que aprecian el auto en cada detalle. Ser propietario de un Berlinetta no es como cualquier otro coche. Ser propietario de un Berlinetta significa convertirse en parte de un club exclusivo de entusiastas de los autos deportivos que adoptan la filosofía de Puritalia que ve a cada cliente como un “Embajador” de la marca. Por este motivo, se pide a cada cliente que participe activamente en el proceso de construcción de su coche y que conozca todos los detalles técnicos y constructivos. Cada cliente asistirá en persona en las etapas clave del proceso de construcción, como el primer encendido del motor y el emocionante momento de la entrega final. Un riguroso proceso de selección garantiza que cada cliente adopte esta filosofía y comprenda lo que significa convertirse en Embajador de Puritalia. Además, a través del programa exclusivo Puritalia Sartoria©, el cliente podrá experimentar este viaje de construir su propio automóvil como una extensión de su gusto y personalidad. Cada cliente es asistido por un diseñador personal que trabaja con ellos durante cada fase de la personalización realizada desde opciones preempaquetadas o completamente personalizadas. Sin embargo, entre las muchas opciones preempaquetadas, hay algunas que califican como “Opción exclusiva” y están reservadas para un solo automóvil; otras son de “Opción Limitada”, como la carrocería de fibra de carbono vista, para sólo 10 coches; y un paquete aerodinámico especial está limitado a solo cinco.

Puritalia Automobili

The name Berlinetta is a traditional Italian term that refers to classic sports cars, specifically luxury is harmonious and balanced, never extreme.

 The front engine and long hood recall the proportions of supercars lost to the past; sitting further back in the car provides a unique feeling and experience now abandoned by modern supercars. It’s a luxury “Gran Turismo” that does not scream its performance to the world, but hides it – almost deceptively – behind the beauty of its forms. It’s a term that means a car at the height of automotive technique and performance, but one with a style that recalls the great coupés and custom-built cars of Italy’s Golden Age.

Chassis

The Carbon-Aluminum hybrid chassis has been designed to ensure both lightness and strength, as well as to stand out for its style.

The central tub is made of pre-impregnated carbon fiber and cured in an autoclave at 180 degrees – it offers maximum torsion rigidity and the beauty of an object perfectly integrated with the interior style, as it remains fully visible in the inside of the car. The front and rear sub-frames are made of aeronautical aluminum with suspension plates entirely CNC machined from solid billets.

Each of the 4 suspension plates is manufactured from a single block of 120Kg of this aluminum, but only weigh about 10Kg by the end – an enormous effort whose final result allows all the suspension components, including control arms and shock absorbers, to connect on a single engineered piece without any joints, connections or welds. This provides not only extreme rigidity and resistance, but most importantly, a centesimal precision in the position of the suspension components – and therefore in the suspension geometry and kinematics. The complete chassis, including all structural supports for radiators, engine, transmission and the electric motor weighs only 150Kg.

Powertrain

INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

The combustion engine is a modern V8 5.0L 32-valve double overhead camshafts (DOHC) and dual variable timing independent (Ti-VCT). To ensure optimal weight distribution and a lower center of gravity, the engine is positioned entirely behind the front track axle in a rather low position, thanks to the dry sump lubrication. The engine is supercharged by a 2.9L twin-screw compressor that offers a progressive increase in torque, even at low revs, at a constant pressure of 11 PSI. The compressor is equipped with a liquid intercooler with 2 radiators located in the side air intakes of the front bumper. The combustion engine alone delivers 750 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 878 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. The final assembly of the internal components of the engine is carried out meticulously, by hand, in Italy. The engine’s electronics management is entrusted to a MOTEC ECU, and is supported by a software package that was specially developed by Puritalia and a proprietary OBDII control unit that comply with EURO 6 environmental regulations.

ELECTRIC MOTOR

The advanced axial flux electric motor is supplied by Yasa and produces up to 370 Nm of torque and 215hp of peak power at a weight of just over 25Kg. The engine was integrated by Puritalia directly on the rear differential, thanks to its extremely compact diameter of 305mm and axial depth of 106mm. In this configuration, the torque delivered by the electric motor bypasses the gearbox gear ratio and acts directly on the rear wheels through the final ratio only. This configuration is optimal to transfer the enormous torque provided the electric motor to the wheels, that is always fully available from 0 to 7,000 rpm. The control of the electric motor acts alongside the automated gearbox control AMT, increasing the thrust during the opening of the clutch necessary for gear shifting. This results in continuous acceleration – even during gear changes. Puritalia engineers also incorporated an electronically managed clutch that disengages the electric motor from the differential in specific usage conditions to avoid dragging when it’s not needed. To ensure the performance of the electric motor even during the most intense periods of use, the engine temperature is constantly monitored and managed by a cooling system that provides a flow of up to 20 liters / hour of dielectric oil.

BATTERY PACK

Puritalia Berlinetta has two lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO) battery packs, entirely designed and built by Puritalia, that guarantee a total capacity of 5.2 kWh; the main battery pack is positioned under the trunk area while the secondary is in the area behind the seats, in a low position for the car’s center of gravity. The two 700V battery packs are dynamically managed in parallel; they’re used individually in normal conditions, and in combination (to raise the current up to 230A) when the Puritalia eMozione© function is activated, in order to provide the maximum power and torque. A complete charge of the battery packs requires just over 3 hours via an electric socket and the special charger supplied with the car. The batteries can also be charged during braking and while coasting through a special function that can be activated by the driver. Both battery packs integrate the BMS (Battery Management System) and cooling management system.

COOLING

A great deal of attention was given to studying heat diffusion and resulted in the design of the appropriate cooling systems, because, contrary to what one might think, the electrical components of the hybrid powertrain generate as much heat as a combustion engine. The air intake on the hood leverages the air depression to facilitate the expulsion of heat from the engine compartment. The cooling of the powertrain is carried out by 10 radiators positioned near the air intakes on the front and rear bumpers and the flat bottom of the car. These radiators provide for the cooling of the combustion engine, the intercooler, the transmission, the differential, the electric motor, the AC inverter, and the battery packs.

Transmission

The transmission is 7-speed with AMT electro-hydraulic robotization with steering wheel controls. For optimal balance of the weights, the gearbox is positioned in the rear of the car and connected to the engine by a carbon fiber torque tube that hosts the light carbon fiber driveshaft. The 210mm diameter torque tube also acts as a structural element, helping to substantially increase the torsional rigidity of the chassis. The AMT system was developed by Puritalia in collaboration with a leading Italian company in the sector and allows for a gear change in about 150 milliseconds, torque-to-torque. At the same time, the electric motor keeps pushing its torque to the rear wheels for virtual “zero-delay” shifting. The AP racing 3-disc clutch, controlled directly by the electro-hydraulic AMT actuators, is manufactured with custom-made friction material that has been specifically formulated for the torque specs of the Berlinetta and its road use purposes, ensuring a smooth modulation and firm engagement even in standing maneuvers. The gearshift can be set in automatic or manual mode; when in manual mode, the gearbox is operated through the paddle-shifters located at the steering wheel. The limited slip differential is electronically operated (eLSD).

Driving Experience

The Puritalia Berlinetta is also unique in the driving modes it offers. There are 4 driving modes, as well as a bonus one called “Individual” that can be customized ad hoc, based on the driving style of the owner.

SUPERHYBRID

The SuperHybrid is the driving mode that offers maximum driving enjoyment, intended as a perfect balance of performance and comfort. In this mode, the car is connected to the Puritalia Purhydrive© cloud-based system for efficient management of the energy used by the electric motor, which is dynamically provided by Artificial Intelligence algorithms that focus on self-learning the driving style, the driver’s habits, and online live data feeds.

SPORT

In this mode – still hybrid – the driving is more sporty, thanks to the progressive stiffening of the suspension and steering. The accelerator pedal becomes more responsive, and the combustion engine switches on a more powerful map. The robotized gearbox becomes more aggressive and reduces shift times to a minimum. All of this is unmistakably emphasized by the sound of the 4 exhaust tips that, through the Puritalia Orchestra©, provide a greater opening of the valves that regulate the active side pipes.

RACE

Here, all electronic controls are excluded for the pure track experience. The electric motor provides its peak power continuously. The combustion engine switches on the most powerful and aggressive racing map, and the exhaust sound provided by the Puritalia Orchestra@ system become even bolder.

E-POWER

And finally – designed for entry and exit from urban centers, the Berlinetta can travel up to 20Km in this exclusively electric mode. Though not yet available, E-Power will be with a remote update of the onboard software in the future.

In all modes – with the exception of E-Power – the driver can activate the Puritalia eMozione© switch which raises the current supplied to the electric motor for an additional torque of 370Nm (equivalent to the total torque of an Audi S3) for a continuous period of 45 seconds. And, for an even more personal driving experience, the driver can manually tune all of the main parameters related to the following systems: ABS Traction Control Electric Power Steering Suspensions AMT Electric Motor Side Pipes valve This makes it feel remarkably close to a gaming-like experience.

Technology

Puritalia Automobili means passion and enthusiasm for building Italian designed handmade cars, but is also a vocation of innovation and technology. Underneath, Puritalia Berlinetta has its own distinctive and technological heart that’s represented by the company’s two proprietary systems:

PURITALIA PURHYDRIVE

The Purhydrive© technology redesigns the way hybrid cars manage the distribution of the propulsion between the combustion engine and the electric motors, when they are usually managed statically by algorithms written inside the car ECUs. Thanks to an online connection with a cloud computing platform that provides enormous computing power, the Purhydrive© system offers dynamic and personalized management, and balance of the power supply, through self-learning of the drivers’ style and habits. The modern software technologies of Big Data and AI (Artificial Intelligence), allow us to foresee and simulate the path in a virtual way, crossing the data with external information such as weather conditions and traffic data. The virtual route simulation provides valuable information in advance, such as turns, ascent and descent sections, and acceleration and braking points. The system also incorporates information from the on-board sensors, such as vibrations, the state of the asphalt, and bumps in order to “self-learn” and modify the suspension setting dynamically for the next pass on the same street. The Purhydrive© system, a strategic asset of Puritalia Automobili, is constantly developing and improving and so its future extension to other commercial applications, those where the efficient and dynamic management of two or more energy sources is particularly important, is also envisaged.

PURITALIA DIGITAL-DNA©

This is the digital nervous system of the car that is designed entirely according to a “Silicon Valley” approach. A modular software kernel is spread over all functionalities and controls, thus allowing remote maintenance for the car’s entire life cycle; not only updates for any errors or malfunctions, but for the release of new functions as well. Through the Digital-DNA©, the driver can configure and control the entire car through the central touch-screen and voice controls; a special app also grants the owner remote access to all the car’s functions through their smartphone. The remote diagnosis and online assistance function even allows Puritalia technicians to connect to each car to verify errors, problems, or to provide assistance to the driver as needed.

Body

The Berlinetta body is made entirely of last generation carbon fiber. In order to attain its characteristic lightness, Puritalia uses only pre-impregnated carbon fiber that has been cured in an autoclave with the pressure at 8 bar and a temperature of 180º. To improve the rigidity and preserve design lines during the assembly, 60% of the body is achieved through only two components; each is laminated as single monocoque and thus ensures continuity of fibers without junctions or joints. The front area is called the “Front Body” and the central area the “Upper Body”, and combine for a total weight of only 27Kg. Stylistically, this composition is reflected in the lack of the traditional cuts that separate the front bumper from the side fenders, and the absence of those that separate the roof with the windscreen area, the pillars, and the rear quarter. The finishing and painting process of the carbon panels includes up to 5 layers of base paint, as well as 5 layers of a transparency (glossy or opaque), that depends on the finish and desired color. Then, there is a final polishing process with 3 total steps of fine-grained block sanding of the body. This is an extremely hands-on and laborious process, but it ensures perfection of the surfaces and reflections on a level that is never reached by the automated painting processes used for standard OEM cars. All in all, the process of painting and finishing all carbon fibers components of the car requires 800 hours of work by hand. The choice of colors and finishes is extremely customizable, and Puritalia ensures that each car will have its own unique color scheme and its own paint formula – registered for the owner – so can’t be replicated for any other Berlinetta. Among these countless options, as part of the Puritalia Sartoria© program, customers can decide to have the entire body painted with visible fiber – one of the most exclusive options available that will be limited to just 10 cars.

Interiors

Once you get inside the Puritalia Berlinetta, you immediately sense a different atmosphere. It is created by the highest quality materials in which the carbon fiber, placed in contrast with a glossy and opaque finish, is certainly the predominant element responsible for the feeling of quality and exclusivity. The clean aesthetic is accentuated with aluminum elements, all made exclusively by CNC machining from solid aluminum billets that are brushed and polished by hand, and by an almost total absence of mechanical buttons and levers. Here, as for the rest of the car, there is no room for plastic. The central cell of the carbon fiber frame is left exposed but blends perfectly with the style of the interior panels that complete the design, as opposed to covering it with carpeting. All the car’s functions can be accessed through the central 10-inch touch screen whose functionality has been designed in conjunction with the two joysticks placed immediately below on the central tunnel. The Puritalia QuickCommand© function allows you to operate any command (such as windows, lights, air conditioner, locks, etc …) in just two clicks of the joystick, without taking your eyes off the road. The dashboard is digital with a 12.3-inch high-resolution TFT display, and all HMI interfaces have been internally developed by the Puritalia graphic team using the latest 3D effects and animation. Particular attention has been paid to the ergonomics of the driving position and to the driver’s comfort; in contrast with other super sports cars with similar performance, the seat is easily accessible and always comfortable – even for taller people – with leg room comparable to that of a modern saloon car. For this reason, instead of the lighter monocoque seats, the Berlinetta is equipped with elegant sports seats supplied by Sabelt, customized and covered in strictly Italian NAPPA leather, and electrically adjustable.

Production

The Berlinetta production is limited to 150 cars. Price starts at Euro 465,000 + VAT, depending on the country of delivery. Each Berlinetta is built to the customer’s specifications to guarantee that each car is truly unique and adheres to the Puritalia brand philosophy – according to which, each of its cars: Must be built strictly by hand, in limited series; Must be heavily customized for each customer; Must be built in Italy, exclusively by expert Italian artisans; Must have a distinctive technological footprint that differentiates it from other cars; Is not for everyone, but only true connoisseurs that appreciate the car in every detail. Owning a Berlinetta is not like any other car. Owning a Berlinetta means becoming part of an exclusive club of sports car enthusiasts who embrace the Puritalia philosophy that sees each customer as an “Ambassador” of the brand. For this reason, each customer is asked to actively participate in the building process of their car, and to know every technical and constructive detail. Each customer shall assist in-person at key stages of the building process, like the first engine fire-up and the exciting moment of final delivery. A rigorous selection process guarantees that each customer embraces this philosophy, and understands what it means to become a Puritalia Ambassador. Furthermore, through the exclusive Puritalia Sartoria© program, the customer will be able to experience this journey of building their own car as an extension of their taste and personality. Each customer is assisted by a personal designer who works with them during every phase of the personalization done from either pre-packaged or completely custom options. However, among the many pre-packaged options, there are a few that qualify as “Exclusive Option” and are reserved for just one car; others are “Limited Option”, like the exposed carbon fiber bodywork, for only 10 cars; and a special aerodynamic package is limited to only five.

Puritalia Automobili was founded in 2010 to build Italian “Fuoriserie” cars in the spirit of the Golden Years of Italian automobile design, while still using the most advanced technologies.

We are a family of young and passionate petrol heads that, guided by talent and open-minded ideas, attempt to redesign the future of the supercars, reviving the best from the past and blending it with the best of the modern technologies.

The front area is called the “Front Body” and the central area the “Upper Body”, and combine for a total weight of only 27Kg. Stylistically, this composition is reflected in the lack of the traditional cuts that separate the front bumper from the side fenders, and the absence of those that separate the roof with the windscreen area, the pillars, and the rear quarter. The finishing and painting process of the carbon panels includes up to 5 layers of base paint, as well as 5 layers of a transparency (glossy or opaque), that depends on the finish and desired color. Then, there is a final polishing process with 3 total steps of fine-grained block sanding of the body. This is an extremely hands-on and laborious process, but it ensures perfection of the surfaces and reflections on a level that is never reached by the automated painting processes used for standard OEM cars. All in all, the process of painting and finishing all carbon fibers components of the car requires 800 hours of work by hand. The choice of colors and finishes is extremely customizable, and Puritalia ensures that each car will have its own unique color scheme and its own paint formula – registered for the owner – so can’t be replicated for any other Berlinetta. Among these countless options, as part of the Puritalia Sartoria© program, customers can decide to have the entire body painted with visible fiber – one of the most exclusive options available that will be limited to just 10 cars.

Interiors

Once you get inside the Puritalia Berlinetta, you immediately sense a different atmosphere. It is created by the highest quality materials in which the carbon fiber, placed in contrast with a glossy and opaque finish, is certainly the predominant element responsible for the feeling of quality and exclusivity. The clean aesthetic is accentuated with aluminum elements, all made exclusively by CNC machining from solid aluminum billets that are brushed and polished by hand, and by an almost total absence of mechanical buttons and levers. Here, as for the rest of the car, there is no room for plastic. The central cell of the carbon fiber frame is left exposed but blends perfectly with the style of the interior panels that complete the design, as opposed to covering it with carpeting. All the car’s functions can be accessed through the central 10-inch touch screen whose functionality has been designed in conjunction with the two joysticks placed immediately below on the central tunnel. The Puritalia QuickCommand© function allows you to operate any command (such as windows, lights, air conditioner, locks, etc …) in just two clicks of the joystick, without taking your eyes off the road. The dashboard is digital with a 12.3-inch high-resolution TFT display, and all HMI interfaces have been internally developed by the Puritalia graphic team using the latest 3D effects and animation. Particular attention has been paid to the ergonomics of the driving position and to the driver’s comfort; in contrast with other super sports cars with similar performance, the seat is easily accessible and always comfortable – even for taller people – with leg room comparable to that of a modern saloon car. For this reason, instead of the lighter monocoque seats, the Berlinetta is equipped with elegant sports seats supplied by Sabelt, customized and covered in strictly Italian NAPPA leather, and electrically adjustable.

Making your life exciting. Today.

This is our story.

Puritalia Automobili

The name Berlinetta is a traditional Italian term that refers to classic sports cars, specifically luxury is harmonious and balanced, never extreme.

 The front engine and long hood recall the proportions of supercars lost to the past; sitting further back in the car provides a unique feeling and experience now abandoned by modern supercars. It’s a luxury “Gran Turismo” that does not scream its performance to the world, but hides it – almost deceptively – behind the beauty of its forms. It’s a term that means a car at the height of automotive technique and performance, but one with a style that recalls the great coupés and custom-built cars of Italy’s Golden Age.

Chassis

The Carbon-Aluminum hybrid chassis has been designed to ensure both lightness and strength, as well as to stand out for its style.

The central tub is made of pre-impregnated carbon fiber and cured in an autoclave at 180 degrees – it offers maximum torsion rigidity and the beauty of an object perfectly integrated with the interior style, as it remains fully visible in the inside of the car. The front and rear sub-frames are made of aeronautical aluminum with suspension plates entirely CNC machined from solid billets.

Each of the 4 suspension plates is manufactured from a single block of 120Kg of this aluminum, but only weigh about 10Kg by the end – an enormous effort whose final result allows all the suspension components, including control arms and shock absorbers, to connect on a single engineered piece without any joints, connections or welds. This provides not only extreme rigidity and resistance, but most importantly, a centesimal precision in the position of the suspension components – and therefore in the suspension geometry and kinematics. The complete chassis, including all structural supports for radiators, engine, transmission and the electric motor weighs only 150Kg.

Powertrain

INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

The combustion engine is a modern V8 5.0L 32-valve double overhead camshafts (DOHC) and dual variable timing independent (Ti-VCT). To ensure optimal weight distribution and a lower center of gravity, the engine is positioned entirely behind the front track axle in a rather low position, thanks to the dry sump lubrication. The engine is supercharged by a 2.9L twin-screw compressor that offers a progressive increase in torque, even at low revs, at a constant pressure of 11 PSI. The compressor is equipped with a liquid intercooler with 2 radiators located in the side air intakes of the front bumper. The combustion engine alone delivers 750 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 878 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. The final assembly of the internal components of the engine is carried out meticulously, by hand, in Italy. The engine’s electronics management is entrusted to a MOTEC ECU, and is supported by a software package that was specially developed by Puritalia and a proprietary OBDII control unit that comply with EURO 6 environmental regulations.

ELECTRIC MOTOR

The advanced axial flux electric motor is supplied by Yasa and produces up to 370 Nm of torque and 215hp of peak power at a weight of just over 25Kg. The engine was integrated by Puritalia directly on the rear differential, thanks to its extremely compact diameter of 305mm and axial depth of 106mm. In this configuration, the torque delivered by the electric motor bypasses the gearbox gear ratio and acts directly on the rear wheels through the final ratio only. This configuration is optimal to transfer the enormous torque provided the electric motor to the wheels, that is always fully available from 0 to 7,000 rpm. The control of the electric motor acts alongside the automated gearbox control AMT, increasing the thrust during the opening of the clutch necessary for gear shifting. This results in continuous acceleration – even during gear changes. Puritalia engineers also incorporated an electronically managed clutch that disengages the electric motor from the differential in specific usage conditions to avoid dragging when it’s not needed. To ensure the performance of the electric motor even during the most intense periods of use, the engine temperature is constantly monitored and managed by a cooling system that provides a flow of up to 20 liters / hour of dielectric oil.

BATTERY PACK

Puritalia Berlinetta has two lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO) battery packs, entirely designed and built by Puritalia, that guarantee a total capacity of 5.2 kWh; the main battery pack is positioned under the trunk area while the secondary is in the area behind the seats, in a low position for the car’s center of gravity. The two 700V battery packs are dynamically managed in parallel; they’re used individually in normal conditions, and in combination (to raise the current up to 230A) when the Puritalia eMozione© function is activated, in order to provide the maximum power and torque. A complete charge of the battery packs requires just over 3 hours via an electric socket and the special charger supplied with the car. The batteries can also be charged during braking and while coasting through a special function that can be activated by the driver. Both battery packs integrate the BMS (Battery Management System) and cooling management system.

COOLING

A great deal of attention was given to studying heat diffusion and resulted in the design of the appropriate cooling systems, because, contrary to what one might think, the electrical components of the hybrid powertrain generate as much heat as a combustion engine. The air intake on the hood leverages the air depression to facilitate the expulsion of heat from the engine compartment. The cooling of the powertrain is carried out by 10 radiators positioned near the air intakes on the front and rear bumpers and the flat bottom of the car. These radiators provide for the cooling of the combustion engine, the intercooler, the transmission, the differential, the electric motor, the AC inverter, and the battery packs.

Transmission

The transmission is 7-speed with AMT electro-hydraulic robotization with steering wheel controls. For optimal balance of the weights, the gearbox is positioned in the rear of the car and connected to the engine by a carbon fiber torque tube that hosts the light carbon fiber driveshaft. The 210mm diameter torque tube also acts as a structural element, helping to substantially increase the torsional rigidity of the chassis. The AMT system was developed by Puritalia in collaboration with a leading Italian company in the sector and allows for a gear change in about 150 milliseconds, torque-to-torque. At the same time, the electric motor keeps pushing its torque to the rear wheels for virtual “zero-delay” shifting. The AP racing 3-disc clutch, controlled directly by the electro-hydraulic AMT actuators, is manufactured with custom-made friction material that has been specifically formulated for the torque specs of the Berlinetta and its road use purposes, ensuring a smooth modulation and firm engagement even in standing maneuvers. The gearshift can be set in automatic or manual mode; when in manual mode, the gearbox is operated through the paddle-shifters located at the steering wheel. The limited slip differential is electronically operated (eLSD).

Driving Experience

The Puritalia Berlinetta is also unique in the driving modes it offers. There are 4 driving modes, as well as a bonus one called “Individual” that can be customized ad hoc, based on the driving style of the owner.

SUPERHYBRID

The SuperHybrid is the driving mode that offers maximum driving enjoyment, intended as a perfect balance of performance and comfort. In this mode, the car is connected to the Puritalia Purhydrive© cloud-based system for efficient management of the energy used by the electric motor, which is dynamically provided by Artificial Intelligence algorithms that focus on self-learning the driving style, the driver’s habits, and online live data feeds.

SPORT

In this mode – still hybrid – the driving is more sporty, thanks to the progressive stiffening of the suspension and steering. The accelerator pedal becomes more responsive, and the combustion engine switches on a more powerful map. The robotized gearbox becomes more aggressive and reduces shift times to a minimum. All of this is unmistakably emphasized by the sound of the 4 exhaust tips that, through the Puritalia Orchestra©, provide a greater opening of the valves that regulate the active side pipes.

RACE

Here, all electronic controls are excluded for the pure track experience. The electric motor provides its peak power continuously. The combustion engine switches on the most powerful and aggressive racing map, and the exhaust sound provided by the Puritalia Orchestra@ system become even bolder.

E-POWER

And finally – designed for entry and exit from urban centers, the Berlinetta can travel up to 20Km in this exclusively electric mode. Though not yet available, E-Power will be with a remote update of the onboard software in the future.

In all modes – with the exception of E-Power – the driver can activate the Puritalia eMozione© switch which raises the current supplied to the electric motor for an additional torque of 370Nm (equivalent to the total torque of an Audi S3) for a continuous period of 45 seconds. And, for an even more personal driving experience, the driver can manually tune all of the main parameters related to the following systems: ABS Traction Control Electric Power Steering Suspensions AMT Electric Motor Side Pipes valve This makes it feel remarkably close to a gaming-like experience.

Technology

Puritalia Automobili means passion and enthusiasm for building Italian designed handmade cars, but is also a vocation of innovation and technology. Underneath, Puritalia Berlinetta has its own distinctive and technological heart that’s represented by the company’s two proprietary systems:

PURITALIA PURHYDRIVE

The Purhydrive© technology redesigns the way hybrid cars manage the distribution of the propulsion between the combustion engine and the electric motors, when they are usually managed statically by algorithms written inside the car ECUs. Thanks to an online connection with a cloud computing platform that provides enormous computing power, the Purhydrive© system offers dynamic and personalized management, and balance of the power supply, through self-learning of the drivers’ style and habits. The modern software technologies of Big Data and AI (Artificial Intelligence), allow us to foresee and simulate the path in a virtual way, crossing the data with external information such as weather conditions and traffic data. The virtual route simulation provides valuable information in advance, such as turns, ascent and descent sections, and acceleration and braking points. The system also incorporates information from the on-board sensors, such as vibrations, the state of the asphalt, and bumps in order to “self-learn” and modify the suspension setting dynamically for the next pass on the same street. The Purhydrive© system, a strategic asset of Puritalia Automobili, is constantly developing and improving and so its future extension to other commercial applications, those where the efficient and dynamic management of two or more energy sources is particularly important, is also envisaged.

PURITALIA DIGITAL-DNA©

This is the digital nervous system of the car that is designed entirely according to a “Silicon Valley” approach. A modular software kernel is spread over all functionalities and controls, thus allowing remote maintenance for the car’s entire life cycle; not only updates for any errors or malfunctions, but for the release of new functions as well. Through the Digital-DNA©, the driver can configure and control the entire car through the central touch-screen and voice controls; a special app also grants the owner remote access to all the car’s functions through their smartphone. The remote diagnosis and online assistance function even allows Puritalia technicians to connect to each car to verify errors, problems, or to provide assistance to the driver as needed.

Body

The Berlinetta body is made entirely of last generation carbon fiber. In order to attain its characteristic lightness, Puritalia uses only pre-impregnated carbon fiber that has been cured in an autoclave with the pressure at 8 bar and a temperature of 180º. To improve the rigidity and preserve design lines during the assembly, 60% of the body is achieved through only two components; each is laminated as single monocoque and thus ensures continuity of fibers without junctions or joints.

What’s in Future Lab at the 2022 Festival of Speed

The 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard is just days away and we’re incredibly excited for everyone to see what’s in store. In addition to the unrivalled roster of cars, bikes, drivers and riders, Future Lab presented by Randox brings a new dimension, a look at the future of mobility in the air, on land, under the sea and deep into space. So given that Future Lab is bigger than ever this year, we thought we’d highlight a few exhibits you simply mustn’t miss.

E1 powerboats

The UIM E1 World Championship Series will be the first racing series for electric powerboats, with grids of RaceBird vessels taking to waters at iconic city locations to do battle. A full-size model will be on display at FOS Future Lab, while visitors will be able to sit in a representative cockpit and have a go in an advanced simulator to experience E1 in the virtual world.

Saab SeaEye

Saab Seaeye provides incredible, remotely-operated vehicles for ocean exploration and industrial purposes. A number of these underwater robots will be on display, including the Sabretooth, which is the vehicle that found the Endurance, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s vessel that sank in the Antarctic 107 years ago. The Saab Sabretooth had to descend 3,000 metres in pitch black frozen waters in search of this legendary vessel, finding it in good condition, with ‘Endurance’ still proudly and clearly emblazoned on its stern. This robot, like Endurance itself, is now an important piece of history and a testament to the potential of robotics in the exploration

Northern Light Motors

Meanwhile in the comfort of our cities and on our roads, Northern Light Motors want to revolutionise personal transport, and not with some anonymous pod you have to share. This is high-end car design crossing paths with environmentally friendly future mobility. The designer is the man who penned the TVR Sagaris and that flair is obvious in the NLM. This in spite of the fact it’s an electrically-augmented three-wheeled eBike and not a 400PS supercar. The company will be debuting the fully production-ready versions of these awesome little machines in the Future Lab. We can’t wait to see them in person.

eSkootr

Joining the E1 electric boat series as a brand-new motorised sport on show at Future Lab is eSkootr, a championship for electric scooter racing. The series reimagines racing as a platform for future sustainable urban mobility. A number of quirks of the sport include the fact that it’s due to never return to the same city twice and that race riders will come from a variety of different sports. You’ll be able to see one of the eSkootrs on display in Future Lab, while visitors can also try Electrik City, a VR experience where you can watch eSkootr races with an Unreal Engine simulation. Riders will also be riding them up the Hill on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Teslasuit

From the future of transport, to the metaverse – the Teslasuit is here to transport your whole body to the virtual world. Not actually any relation to the Tesla of the motoring world, the Teslasuit is, however, arguably as sophisticated. Full body haptics, motion capture and biometric sensors make up a platform that can be used for everything from F1 driver simulations, to safety or fitness training and body monitoring. At Future Lab, a Teslasuit demo will be available where visitors can experience this incredible full-body tech.

Interstellar Lab

How do you grow food in space? This is a question Interstellar Lab is trying to answer. With the revolutionary BioPod it can create conditions to grow pretty much anything, anywhere on Earth. The next step is taking that tech into space, to the Moon, Mars and possibly beyond. At Future Lab, you’ll be able to take part in a VR experience exploring one of these BioPods and what they can do.

Airspeeder

Airspeeder is the world’s first electric VTOL flying race series, dubbed ‘the F1 of the skies’. Pilotted E-VTOLs with eight motors and four rotors will be battling it out on virtual circuits in our skies soon but for now, at Future Lab, you’ll be able to take part in a VR driver experience. You’ll also be able to see an Airspeeder Mk3 race car in person when it’s on display on the maker’s stand.

All of these exciting experiences and much more will be there to enjoy as Future Lab opens at the 2022 Festival of Speed. We’re excited to show you the future of mobility and beyond, as well as its present and past.
