Renault revealed the Alpine Celebration concept car at the 24 hours of Le Mans. The concept car is expected to become the precursor to a production model due in 2016, when Renault re-launches the sportscar brand.

On the styling front, the Alpine Celebration concept pays homage to the Alpine A110 Berlinette with its scalloped bonnet and twin spotlights mounted high on the front bumper. The rear styling is also reminiscent of the A110, with the shoulder line tapering away behind the wheel arches. Other styling details are more contemporary. The orange and blue paint scheme is on the same line as the older Alpine models.

Renault has not revealed the technical specifications of the concept car other than it being a mid-engined layout.

The Celebration concept is the successor to the Alpine A110-50 concept which was revealed in 2012 featuring a V6 engine from the Renault Megane Trophy race car. However, the production version of the concept is expected to receive a less powerful engine with likely choices being either the 2.0-litre unit from the Renaultsport Megane or the 1.6-litre unit from the Renaultsport Clio. In terms of transmission, the production car is expected to feature a dual-clutch transmission.

The production version of the Alpine Celebration is expected to debut sometime early next year, before its launch in the international market.
