The concept combines the best of both worlds

Hong Kong company Hybrid Kinetic Group for several years carries on road exhibitions of various concepts. For example, last year it unveiled a prototype hybrid sedan H600. According to legend, he was driven by electric motors, but the Board was also provided for the microturbine, pajamarama battery. According to a similar principle works Pininfarina HK GT.

Why novelty is the name of Pininfarina? This is the Studio drew the look of the concept coupe. However, in the way Pininfarina HK GT a lot more of the German spirit than the Italian. The contours of the body and some design elements reminiscent of sports car Mercedes-AMG GT, and doors in the style of "gull wings" refer to the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and the legendary Mercedes-Benz 300SL.

The Quartet of electric motors that are built into Pininfarina GT, HK, gives the 1,088 horsepower. To increase the efficiency and make the vehicle dynamics more acute, the engineers have installed a two-stage transmission. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes just 2.7 seconds and a maximum speed of 350 km/h.

But on the part of batteries the concept will not produce such a vivid impression. The battery capacity is estimated at only 38 kW∙h. Such a modest amount of energy allows a range of 160 kilometers. In any gate? And here comes the microturbine. With its view of Pininfarina HK GT can travel up to thousands of miles between recharging and refueling.

The future of the project raises questions. Initially, the company Hybrid Kinetic Group wanted to produce its machines in the U.S. later, however, she abandoned this idea.
