01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Alpine Berlinette is a celebrated sports car that showcases the brand’s commitment to performance and distinctive design. Based on the production model, the Berlinette stands out due to its modified OSI coachwork, which has successfully enhanced various aspects of both its exterior and interior, resulting in a more dynamic and appealing vehicle. One of the most striking features of the Berlinette is its sporty silhouette, which embodies the classic design language associated with Alpine. The modifications made by OSI have contributed to a sleeker profile and improved aerodynamics, making the car not only visually striking but also more performance-oriented. The special air intake located on the rear fender is a prime example of this thoughtful design approach. This intake not only adds to the car’s aggressive aesthetic but also plays a crucial role in improving engine cooling and overall performance. Inside, the Berlinette’s cabin reflects a focus on the driver, with a layout that prioritizes functionality and comfort. The use of high-quality materials and a sporty design ethos creates an environment that enhances the driving experience. The modifications to the interior align with Alpine’s heritage of racing and performance, ensuring that the Berlinette feels as good as it looks. Overall, the Alpine Berlinette is a remarkable blend of design and engineering, showcasing how thoughtful modifications can elevate a production model into a true sports car. Its combination of aesthetic appeal, functional upgrades, and a focus on performance solidifies its status as an iconic vehicle in automotive history. The Berlinette remains a beloved choice among enthusiasts, revered for its spirited performance and timeless design.
