The HK GT is the fourth concept vehicle designed by
Pininfarina, together with Hong Kong-based hi-tech firm Hybrid Kinetic Group.
It will be unveiled in Geneva one year after the global debut of the H600
luxury sedan. The two companies also worked together on the five-seater K550
SUV and the seven-seater K750, both unveiled in Shanghai last year.
With the HK GT, the goal was to re-interpret the
idea of a Gran Turismo, using the classic architecture of the Italian
automobile school, while continuing to refine the identity of the Hybrid
Kinetic brand.
The concept will have a
very streamlined and elegant exterior, with razor-sharp, horizontal taillights
that pop out, similar to what we saw on the BMW 8-Series Concept. As for the
interior, it looks both elegant as well as sporty, with what look like
interactive displays embedded in the door panels.
The new concept will be powered using a battery,
electric motors, an electrical controller and a range extender, combining style
with environmental sustainability (zero-emissions), according to the Italian
coachbuilder.
Pininfarina will unveil the HK GT on March 6th at
the 2018 Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland.
