Alpine has finally confirmed its entry for the 2024 World Endurance Championship. It's a 670bhp hypercar called the A424. CAR magazine has all the latest details.
Alpine’s A424 hypercar has taken another key step in its development journey. After summer tests at Circuit Paul Ricard, the A424 has just completed a two-day test at the Motorland circuit in Aragon in Spain.
The Alpine’s testing program will continue in a two-day test at the Jerez circuit later this month, before an endurance test in mid-November. LMDh rules state that Hypercars can’t weigh any less than 1,030kg, their power output is capped at 670bhp and they all must have a 50kW hybrid system. Downforce is strictly regulated, too. Naturally, though, Alpine has min-maxed all these stats in an effort to make the most of the series’ rulebook and ensure the A424 is competitive in the race.
‘It must be noted that the synergies with F1 are such that our LMDh software is strongly inspired by F1,’ he said. ‘The F1 cost cap also works in our favour, as it frees up dyno hours in addition to those available at Mecachrome.’ Alpine also borrowed a few of its Formula One engineers to help piece together its Le Mans Hypercar project.Racing teams have a little more freedom here.
