An updated fully-functional version of the Alpenglow, now named the Alpenglow Hy4, was unveiled on 13 May 2024 at the 2024 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps; it is described by Alpine as a "rolling lab designed as a racing car". The car is expected to make a number of demo runs at the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans.[11][12]
A significantly more powerful variant with a larger V6 engine, appropriately named "Alpenglow Hy6", was later revealed on 14 October 2024.[13]

Powertrains
The Alpenglow burns hydrogen as fuel in conventional internal combustion engines. The hydrogen is stored on 3 separate pressurized tanks, each holding 2.1Kg of the gas.
The Alpenglow Hy4 is powered by a 2.0 L turbocharged I4 developing 340 hp. The Alpenglow Hy6 is powered by a 3.5 L twin-turbochaged V6 delivering 740 hp.
Both send power to the rear wheels through a 6-speed sequential transmission.
