Alpine has released the technical specifications for the 2023 A523.
Chassis: A carbon fiber and composite monocoque designed by the Alpine F1 team for maximum performance at minimum weight. The Renault E-Tech 2023 power plant performs the function of a power element.
Front suspension: Upper and lower triangular levers made of carbon through a system of pushers interact with a balancer located in the body of the machine. The suspension is connected to a torsion spring and shock absorbers at the front of the monocoque. Aluminum struts and standard magnesium alloy rims made by BBS, standard wheel covers.
Rear suspension: Carbon upper and lower arms and linkage work with torsion bar springs and transverse dampers mounted in a carbon fiber body. Aluminum struts and standard magnesium alloy rims made by BBS, standard wheel covers.
Transmission and hydraulics: Semi-automatic eight-speed transmission with one reverse gear and Quickshift system to minimize shift times. Differential with hydraulic control system. Hydraulic systems related to the power plant, steering, DRS and clutch.
Fuel system: Kevlar reinforced certified rubber fuel tank with integrated primary fuel pump.
Electronics: Standard electronic control unit manufactured by MES-Microsoft.
Braking system: Carbon discs and brake pads. Brembo SpA calipers and master cylinders, fully integrated Brake-by-Wire system.
Cockpit: Foldable anatomically shaped carbon fiber rider seat, six-point harness – total assembly weight with ballast up to 80 kg. Steering wheel with paddle shifters, clutch paddles, DRS and display.
Total weight: 796 kg with rider, tubes and ballast
