00:00Hello everybody, and welcome to Le Mans, the heart of motor racing.
00:28Today, and please excuse me that I couldn't be present with you,
00:31is a great day for Alpine, and of course for the Renault Group.
00:35As many people know, Alpine is one of my favorite babies in the house.
00:40So three years ago it was in a dead end.
00:42A290.
00:49Lightness.
00:50State of mind.
01:06Boundaries.
01:20No heights.
01:50How does it feel to be one of the first people
02:13to deliver our promise on time with our A290?
02:18Yeah, you know, I'm normally used to single-seaters, so this one is really roomy,
02:23but in general I'm really happy and proud to be here with the Alpine team, and also...
02:41In the market, tell us.
02:42Yes, we want to be positioned as a high-end sports specialty brand.
02:48It's light, it's agile, it's a kind of anti-brakes,
02:52because bigger performance means bigger brakes.
02:58And of course we brainstormed and identified ten into four squares,
03:03and you just noticed as well the X graphics we added,
03:07which remind the scotch of the rally car's headlamps.
03:42Yeah, how did it feel behind the wheel?
04:06Well, I'm very excited to be here in front of all of you guys,
04:10you know, to introduce this beautiful A290.
04:14Esteban, Pierre, you are presenting two Premier Edition liveries here,
04:20and I think we could come and join us on stage right now.
04:23Come and join us!
04:32No, very, very beautiful piece and a beautiful car.
04:36Great design as well.
04:37Wonderful. Bravo to all of you.
04:40Guys, great to see you.
04:43How are you doing?
04:44Wonderful to have you all.
04:45Thanks so much for taking the time to pop by.
04:49It makes a lot of sense.
04:50I'm very excited with the race, with the whole team.
04:54Yeah, sure.
04:54Very happy to be here, and yeah,
04:56we can't wait for starting that race before we have the hyper...
05:00Yeah, we can't wait for starting that race before we have the hyper pole
05:05at the end of the day, and we're happy to be part of it.
05:07And yeah, I agree.
05:09First day of Alpine new electric car, yeah.
05:12We have...
05:12Very big moment for Alpine, so great.
05:15We're looking forward to seeing you all.
05:17Philippe, our press conference.
05:22Fabric, perfect.
05:32We'll be here, so you guys, can you group together?
05:35Anybody that wants to come down?
05:36Fantastic.
05:43It's time for a workshop.
05:45There's five different workshops.
06:06We're all young, and yeah, it's clear that it speaks to us,
06:09and that's what we like, actually,
06:10to see the old after the new.
06:14The little taps that we liked at the time.
06:29OK, and what are you doing now?
06:30Are you preparing for a day?
06:33It's coming, it's coming.
06:35Don't hesitate to remove a bit of bodywork if you need to.
06:39You won't lose anything.
06:41The steering wheel would be a bit lighter, maybe it would be better.
06:43A very compact watch, with a somewhat successful look,
06:47with a very modern interior design,
06:51with small touches.
06:52A bit more sophisticated, a bit more special, you know.
06:57If you wanted to define this A290 by two or three adjectives,
07:01which one would you choose?
07:04The first one is the pleasure of being here.
07:07What do you think of this one?
07:13No, we're not going in there, we're not going in there.
07:15We're going in here and then we're going in there.
