The Alpine A390 Active Torque Vectoring system takes electric sports car agility to a new level, providing dynamic handling and unparalleled control.
Three-Motor Architecture and e-AWD
The Alpine A390 fastback uses one front motor and two rear motors powering each rear wheel independently. This allows full all-wheel drive and precise torque distribution.
Active Torque Vectoring Explained
Alpine Active Torque Vectoring distributes 0-100% of torque between the rear wheels in milliseconds, correcting slip and optimizing cornering performance.
Power and Performance
The A390 GTS exceeds 400 hp and 800 Nm of torque, reaching 0-100 km/h in under four seconds. A 1,000-meter sprint completes in 22 seconds.
Driving Dynamics
Torque is continuously adjusted by three systems: Torque Pre-Control, e-AWD, and Active Torque Vectoring, ensuring stability, cornering precision, and high-speed control.
Five Driving Modes
Steering-wheel buttons allow drivers to select Save, Normal, Sport, Personalised, and Track modes. Torque distribution adapts for agility, stability, or cornering precision.
Ultrafast Torque Response
Active Torque Vectoring operates in milliseconds, delivering a sense of lightness and responsiveness that makes the A390 feel agile despite its size and power.
Safety and Road Holding
If a rear wheel skids, torque is corrected to maintain grip and prevent oversteer or understeer. Real-time feedback appears on the instrument cluster and Alpine Telemetrics Live Data screen.
Driver Experience
Alpine A390’s system enhances perception of inertia, allowing drivers to feel completely in control. Steering feedback and handling respond naturally at all speeds.
Balanced Agility and Efficiency
Despite its high performance, the A390 achieves efficiency by intelligently managing torque, providing both exhilarating driving and controlled, safe handling.
Summary
The Alpine A390 Active Torque Vectoring delivers unmatched agility, precise cornering, and high-speed stability. Its three-motor layout, five driving modes, and ultrafast torque management redefine electric sports car performance while enhancing driver confidence and enjoyment.
