Renault is considering putting the name Alpine to a premium sports car it plans to introduce in 2010. The name Alpine comes from the iconic French manufacturer, known for its rear-engined sports cars. According to Automotive news, Renault’s top management discussed reviving the name two weeks ago, as Renault own the rights to Alpine from its 1973 purchase of the brand. CEO Carlos Ghosn wants Renault to use its Formula One racing technology and expertise to develop a sporty high-performance product. Although the layout of the new sports car has not yet been decided, sources say Renault aim to position the Alpine above partner Nissan’s 350Z coupe.
