Latest Alpine sports car info
Are you sitting comfortably? Alpine hopes you will be
This is not an ejector seat, it's not a seat in a completed cabin, it's not a seat next to a fully representative styling mule. It's just the seat that will be in the new Alpine sports car. Officially these chairs "have achieved excellent lateral support and comfort despite a total seat weight of only 13.1kg." Bravo. The quilting is intended to evoke that of the classic Alpines, with the seats said to provide "excellent lateral support for thighs, hips and shoulders."
And that's it. Rest easy PH, the new Alpine sports car will have seats. Hopefully it will get one of those steering wheel things too. Thanks goodness the Geneva show isn't actually that far off, although expect one or two additional 'insights' before then.
ETA: Nice looking seat, though.
WELL...
One thing, these types of seat are great in sports cars, but they are nearly always mounted too high up, and looking at this and the brackets, guilty as charged.
The main relevance for me of today''s release of the seat pics is that the interior may also carry over largely unchanged from the concept, which I think looks stunning
