It's going to need a very potent engine to knock the socks off a TT RS
Not necessarily. Don't forget about the main focus of this car: lightweight for TRUE 'efficient dynamics'!
The Alpine's engine will be much probably this one - 1.6L, 4-cyl. with 275 hp:
From this beautiful toy which will debut in the Monaco GP:
It turns out that Renault is still using the outdated 2.0-liter turbo unit from the Megane RS 275 Trophy-R. It seems they still need a 2.0-liter displacement engine to get 275 hp. I don't see how this can possible mean "exploring new avenues for the future", mainly when Peugeot already uses a fantastic 1.6-liter, 4-pot engine w/ 270hp.
What a BIG disappointment!

Since it's using a Nissan V6 how about the GTR engine, it wouldn't just knock the socks of the TT RS it would knock the socks of just about anything.

I'm sure there's more power potential in a 2.0 than a 1.6, we won't see a 400hp 1.6 for a long time, but in a 2.0 we're already there.
For their F1 team to win a race I guess, or at least become respectable again.

"Following the launch of the Alpine sports car, it's expected that the brand will launch further models, including a Porsche Macan-rivalling SUV. The site says that the car will be priced between €55,000 and €60,000 (between £46,750 and £51,000), so the A120 will be a direct rival to the Porsche Cayman."

Paris-based Renault has started taking orders for the first Alpine-badged sports car in over 20 years.
The model hasn't been officially revealed yet; in fact, Renault hasn't even released its name, though sources close to the company suggest it will be dubbed A120. Still, the French automaker is accepting reservations from enthusiasts who want to get their hands on one of the first cars to roll off the assembly line.
The first 1,955 cars will be part of a special series named Premiere Edition. Right now, buyers are simply asked to pick whether they want their car painted blue, black, or white, but additional configuration options will be added to a purpose-designed application named Alpine as production nears.
Teaser images suggest the A120 is inspired by the stunning, retro-styled Vision concept that debuted last February. Its silhouette pays homage to the A110 coupe that dominated international rally events during the 1960s.
Technical specifications are still being kept under wraps. However, British magazine Autocarbelieves the A120 will use a turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine closely related to the 1.6-liter turbo four found under the hood of the Clio R.S. The mid-mounted unit will make 250 horsepower in its most basic state of tune, and 300 horses in its more powerful variant. Alpine has confirmed the coupe will hit 62 mph from a stop in 4.5 seconds. On paper, it will be capable of keeping up with the Porsche 718 Cayman, one of its closest rivals.
Those who want to be among the first to take delivery of a new Alpine in the 21st century need to make a €2,000 (roughly $2,100) deposit. The car's base price will lie between €55,000 and €60,000 (about $58,000 and $64,000) once taxes are factored in. Deliveries are scheduled to start late next year.
The Alpine A120 -- assuming the name is retained for production -- will make its debut in the coming months. While nothing is official yet, we wouldn't be surprised to see it in the metal for the first time during next year's edition of the Monte-Carlo Rally.

Take A Peek At Alpine’s New Lightweight Aluminum Chassis
Alpine has released new photos showing the aluminum chassis and bodywork of their upcoming A120 sports car, which is due for a reveal at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
French mid-engined sports car will use aluminum both in its bespoke chassis and most of its bodywork in a bid to keep weight low, with the latter being welded on to the frame in the same fashion Aston Martin does with its cars.
Alpine will build its road car at the historic site of Dieppe, the brand’s original manufacturing plant. The first 1955 cars that will roll off the production line will be the limited Premier edition models that can already be ordered.
The engine is expected to be a turbocharged 1.8-litre four-cylinder with around 250 to 300hp, giving the new A120 an official 0-62mph (0-100km/h) time in 4.5 seconds. A dual-clutch gearbox will be the only transmission option.
The new Alpine A120 will be priced at around 55k to 60k euros, positioning it against rivals like the Porsche 718 Cayman and the Alfa Romeo 4C.
