Alpine will stop making its own engines at the end of 2025
Alpine is winding down its F1 engine program, with the company set to stop developing F1 powertrains at its Viry-Châtillon facility. Instead, the site will become Hypertech Alpine; a new centre for innovation and R&D. Resources and employees will be redistributed as part of the transformation, and the team will continue to make the current Alpine engine until the end of 2025 – it just won’t develop one for the forthcoming 2026 rules.The news comes after months of speculation.
‘Its racing DNA remains a cornerstone of the brand. It will continue to fuel an unprecedented industrial and automotive project, thanks particularly to Hypertech Alpine’of ten teams in the constructors’ championship – and is by far the worst performing works team with just 13 points. It’s possible management has suggested the team concentrate on the chassis side instead. After all, creating a competitive powertrain in F1 isn’t easy.
Battery and electric motor technology sit at the top of the list, but the centre will also contribute to the development of a new Alpine supercar. It’ll also play a role in other motorsport programs such as the WEC, Formula E and Dakar.
