We earlier reported that Renault's revival of the Alpine name would take four years.

He went on to say we should expect a competitor for the Porsche Boxster and high-performance Audi TTS. "You can't betray the DNA of Alpine," Norman says. "That's a third of what the car will be."
But the executive also says its DNA is certainly French, "It must be light and look different, and have a touch of French Dash.
