Alpine unveils the Alpine F1 X Felipe Pantone
French brand Alpine has today unveiled a 1/2-scale single-seater to celebrate its arrival in F1: the Alpine F1 X Felipe Pantone.
To celebrate its arrival in Formula 1, Alpine went all out. The iconic brand, in close collaboration with graffiti artist Felipe Pantone, gave birth to the “Alpine F1 X Felipe Pantone”.
Named after its creator, the single-seater is in 1/2 scale and features the brand’s color code, namely blue, white, and red, typically French. The artist added their personal touch by incorporating black and white, very popular in their other creations.
The graphic lines follow the car’s airflow and the black and white accents suggest a checkered flag on the front part. The famous A of the brand is clearly visible in blue, white, and red (instead of its traditional white) on a striped background.
Pantone, passionate about cars and Formula 1 in particular, reveals that the category is a major source of inspiration for him.
« Formula 1 is the pinnacle of engineering. Every year, it redefines our idea of what is possible on four wheels. This determination to build the impossible inspires me a lot. My art is strongly influenced by kinetics and engineering. I work with the latest technologies and materials to find new ways to present visual art.”

Soon a floor dedicated to Alpine at the Renault Workshop.
This collaboration celebrates Alpine’s arrival in the premier category but also the upcoming inauguration of the brand’s floor within the Atelier Renault on the Champs-Elysées.
We are delighted to partner with Felipe Pantone to celebrate Alpine’s entry into Formula 1 and the upcoming opening of the Alpine space at the Atelier Renault on the Champs-Elysées. Felipe is a genuine, avant-garde artist and a true sports car enthusiast. His artistic approach is bold, elegant, and captivating. It perfectly reflects Alpine’s values for the brand’s first foray into art,” said Bruno Pillard, director of the Alpine brand.
The exhibition of the single-seater (as well as a helmet also created by the artist) will last until the end of the year 2021 at the Atelier Renault, once it reopens to the public.
